Lab Report (7) : Title: Tasks

This lab report details an experiment applying resin without a softener to woven and knitted fabrics. The report tests the fabrics for properties like wrinkle recovery, crease recovery angle, shrinkage percentage and tear strength before and after resin treatment. It finds that crease recovery angle increases after resin treatment while tear strength decreases. The conclusion is that resin treatment improves crease recovery angle but reduces tear strength.

Abstract

Durable press finishes can be defined as those chemicals used to improve the properties and
performance of washable fabrics. Resin finish second mostly use finish in textiles. It crosslinks
the polymer chain and resist them to slide across eachother imparting durable press features and
shrink resitance at the expense of strength loss and yellowing of fabric.
