Investigation of the damp-heating processing of multilayer fabric

Abstract

With the global industrial technology development, technological processes in the textile and clothing industry areconstantly evolving. These rapid rates of development necessitate the need for continuous research and analysis toestablish optimal operating modes for various technological processes. The damp-heating processing/DHP is one of themain technological processes in the sewing industry. The quality of the sewing article depends to a large extent on thequality of the performance of operations in the damp-heating processing. The wide variety of textile materials, each withdifferent composition, structure and properties, is a prerequisite for conducting extensive research to refine manageablefactors of the DHP process. In recent years, textile materials with an increasingly complex structure and multi-component composition have become increasingly important. Of particular interest are the so-called double wovenfabrics. Therefore, the subject of this study is the damp-heating processing of an innovative textile fabric tissue –amultilayer weave type “double cloth”. One of the main controllable factors of the damp-heating processing is the amountof moisture introduced into the processed textile materials. The aim of this paper is to determine the limit values for theamount of steam used in the damp-heating processing of a tissue –a multilayer weave type “double cloth”.
