Effect of warp tension in weaving process on colour obtained in reactive dyeing and fabric shrinkage of cotton

Abstract

Effect of warp tension in Weaving process on colour obtained in reactive dyeing and fabric:Shrinkage,of cotton In dyehouses dye recipes related to the desired colour which exist previously are used for colour matching: It is required to know the variations in and production parameters of the: fabric to be dyed, compared to the reference fabric: In this study, it was determined how the warp tension during weaving affects;weaving:affects colour in reactive dyeing. Fabric shrinkages were also tested and correlated with warp tensions during fabric production. According to the experimental results it can be concluded that the warp tension during weaving does not have a significant effect on colour obtained in reactive dyeing due to the wet processes that cause fabric relaxation. Fabric shrinkages in warp direction increases with the increase in warp tensions only if performed after a previous wet process.
