Effect of Scouring on the Properties of Polyester/Cotton Blended Ring Spinning Yarns
Blended fibers from synthetic and natural sources have a specific advantage of successfully combining the best properties of both fiber components.In polyester/cotton blends;resiliency of polyester helps to retain fabric shape without losing the comfort features provided by the cotton.Moreover, garments using such a blend are more easily laundered, dry quickly and can be ironed using a lower temperature than pure cotton.Cotton and polyester have different physical and chemical properties such as (length, diameter, wettability, strength,elongation, elasticity, torsional rigidity, frictional properties, thermal properties, density and resistance to chemicals) these differences of properties have led to treat this blend within proper conditions.Polyester/cotton blend has scoured in order to improve the wettability, cotton has high resistance to alkalis while polyester has a negatively affected when treated under kier pressure boiler in the presence of alkalis.Therefore, the main aim of this research is to scour the cotton fiber individually before blending with polyester to avoid an adverse impact on polyester later in the fabric.The results noted that, there are improvement in the wettability of blend without affecting on the mechanical properties of the polyester.This study suggests that the scouring of cotton fibers before blending with polyester leads to better properties of blending yarn.
