Abstract:
The inventive method provides highly desirable hand to various different types of fabrics through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or napping of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure includes "nicking" the immobilized fibers thereby permitting the fibers to produce a substantially balanced strength of the target fabric in the fill and warp directions while also providing the same degree of hand improvements as obtained with previous methods. Furthermore, this process also provides the unexpected improvement of non-pilling to synthetic fibers as the "nicking" of the immobilized fibers results in the lack of unraveling of fibers and thus the near impossibility of such fibers balling together to form unwanted pills on the fabric surface. Fabrics treated by this process are also contemplated within this invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a ramie fabric and the fabric. The process comprising the following step: blend spinning a high-count ramie fiber such as a ramie fiber of 2500 Nm or higher with a water-soluble fiber as carrier to form a yarn; sizing the yarn at a low temperature; weaving the yarn to form a gray fabric; then removing the water-soluble fiber from the gray fabric by deweighting the gray fabric during a finishing process after printing and dyeing to obtain a super-high-count ramie fabric with a ramie yarn fineness of 160 Nm or higher.
Abstract:
Dyed fabric compositions have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. The dyed fabric comprises one or more elastic fibers wherein the elastic fibers comprise the reaction product of at least one ethylene olefin block polymer and at least one crosslinking agent. Often the fabrics are characterized by a color change of greater than or equal to about 3.0 according to AATCC evaluation after a first wash by AATCC61-2003-2A.
Abstract:
A spun yarn characterized by comprising at least 15 wt.% short fibers of polytrimethylene terephthalate and satisfying the relationship: modulus at 5% elongation (%) >/= 0.1X + 70 wherein X represents the content (wt.%) of the short polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers in the spun yarn. It is excellent in suitability for knitting/weaving, stretchability, and recovery from stretch and has shape stability and durability in long-term wear.
