Document Summary

Finishes: griege goods are fabrics that are removed from the loom, converted or finished good have received finishing treatments, converters buy greige goods and add the finishes. These fabrics may then go to another mill for dyeing or printing: finishes may be temporary, semidurable, durable, or permanent. These provide less add-on of finish and so they save water and energy: some fabrics are solvent finished, solvents decrease need for water and energy. Aesthetic finishes: calendaring to enhance luster: simple calendaring. Ironing to get a sheen on the surface, calendar roll is etched with 200-300 fine diagonal lines in it. These crush the crowns of the yarns in the fabric and make it look more lustrous: glazing with a friction calendar. Starch is added to surface of fabric, usually cellulosics, glazed cotton chintz is one common example. Surface of thermoplastics fabric is highly shint, (cid:498)wet look(cid:499), uses wax and a friction calendar: embossing.
