MATERIALS FOR DECORATION Flashcards
FMR
a common finish process for linen. the fabric is hammered, the yarns are flattened
BEETLING (PINUKPOK)
process makes the fabric white and impurities are removed
BLEACHING
a finishing process which makes the frabrics smooth and glossy. This is done by passing the fabric between heavily heated steel rollers at a pressure up to 2000 pounds per sqr inch.
CALENDERING
a wool finishing process to prevent creases of other forms of uneven shrinkage in latter stages of finishings
CRABBING
the finishing process improves the appearance, enhances luster and hand of material
DECATING or DECATIZING
decating tyle which usually done on cotton, rayon or silk the cloth is wound on a perforated drum
DRY DECATING PROCESS
decating style which the cloth is wound on a roller and treated in a hot water or steam boiler
WET DECATING PROCESS
Important finish applied to wool fabrics. It is pre-shrinking process which involves the application of moisture, heat, friction, anc pressure.
FULLING
discovered by John Mercer, an English scientist and chemist from whom the term was derived. It is common finishing process for cotton. Fabrics increase its strength, reduce shrinkage and give it greater absorbency for dyes.
MERCERIZING
The finishing process is applied to fabrics for the purpose of removing the fuzz of protruding fibers.
SINGEING OR GASSING
These are other terms for starching. The cloth is filled with starch to increase strength, smoothness, stiffness, or weight of the fabric
SIZING OR DRESSING
this process straightness and restores the cloth to its proper dimensions.
TENTERING, STENTERING OR HEAT-SETTING
process done to fabrics, sometimes to fibers and yarns, causing them to change in appearance, texture and performance.
FINISH
CLASSIFICATION OF FINISHES
- Based on the extent to which they will stay on the fabrics, such as durable, temporary or permanent
a. Temporary Finish
b. Durable Finish
c. Permanent Finish - Based on whether it is a general or special finish
a. General Finish
b. Special Finishes
the kind of finish that lasts until the fabric is washed or dry-cleaned
Temporary Finish
this last longer than temporary but it may become unsatisfactory with the passing time
Durable Finish
lasts until the garment is of service
Permanent Finish
include those finishes that affect the texture and appearance of the cloth.
General Finish
Include those which affect the performance of the cloth
Special Finishes
SPECIAL FINISHES
- ANTISEPTIC FINISH
- ANTI-STATIC FINISH
- CREASE-RESISTANT FINISH
- FLAME RETARDANT FINISH
- GLAZED FINISH
- HEAT-REFLECTANT FINISH
- MILDEW-RESISTANT FINISH
- MOTH-RESISTANT FINISH
- NAPPING
- SHRINK-RESISTANT FINISH (Mechanical Method)
- SLIP-RESISTANT FINISH
- SOIL AND STAIN-RESISTANT FINISH
- WASH AND WEAR FINISH OR MINI-CARE FINISH
- WATER-REPPELANT FINISH
- WATERPROOF FINISH
one of the most important aspects in fabrics. In many cases, it is the primary reason for purchase.
COLOR
two kinds of colorants
- Dyes
- Pigments
soluble substances which penetrate into the fabric and are fixed by a chemical action, heat or other treatment
DYES
insoluble color particles which are held on the surface of a fabric by a binding agent
Pigment
This is a chemical treatment designed to make a fabric bacteria resistant.
Antiseptic Finish
This is a chemical treatment applied to synthetic fabrics to prevent the accumulation of static electricity.
Anti-static Finish
applied mostly on fabrics from such fibers as cotton, linen, ramie, and rayon
CREASE-RESISTANT FINISH
they can be chemically treated to retard inflammability
FLAME RETARDANT FINISH
glazed surface may be obtained through chemical and mechanical means. Resin treated fabrics have greater durability than mechanically achieved glazed surfaces.
GLAZED FINISH
also called INSULATED FINISH. This type of finish makes a fabric suitable for either hot or cold weather.
HEAT-REFLECTANT FINISH
a chemical finish given mostly to rayon, cotton, and linen fabrics which are mostly susceptible to attack by mildew in moist and humid conditions or climates.
MILDEW-RESISTANT FINISH
sometimes referred to as moth-proofing finish. chemical finish resistant to attack by moths and carpet beetles.
MOTH-RESISTANT FINISH
to raise the fiber ends thus creating a surface fuzziness.
NAPPING
overfeeding a fabric onto a dyeing frame and applying stretch in the crosswise direction
SHRINK-RESISTANT FINISH (Mechanical Method)
given to loosely constructed fabrics or fabrics with low thread count. It prevents the warp yarns from slipping along the filling yarns.
SLIP-RESISTANT FINISH
given to rug and upholstery fabrics to repel soil and stain. Silicone is the compound used for this type of finish.
SOIL AND STAIN-RESISTANT FINISH
finish is also referred to as the drip-dry finish. same type as the crease-resistant finish.
WASH AND WEAR FINISH OR MINI-CARE FINISH
a chemical finish which makes a fabric resistant to wetting but not waterproof.
WATER-REPPELANT FINISH
waterproofing totally coats the fabric thus closing the pores and enabling it to shed water under all pressures.
WATERPROOF FINISH
CLASSIFICATION OF DYES
- ACID DYES
- BASIC DYES
- DIRECT OR SALT DYES
- DISPERSE DYES
- DEVELOPED DYES
- REACTIVE DYES
- SULPHUR DYES
- VAT DYES
BASIC METHODS OF DYEING FABRICS
- SOLUTION DYE
- FIBER DYE (OR STOCK DYE)
- YARN DYE
- PIECE DYE
- CROSS DYE
- SOLID
- UNION DYE
