Effect of Performance Finish on Woven Fabric Properties

This study investigates influences of oil and water repellency finish, non iron with soft finish, non iron with oil and water repellency finish (OWR) on woven fabric with respect to physical properties, mechanical properties, color fastness properties of fabrics. Each process was applied on fabric to see how these applications affect on fabric characteristics. All the fabrics were tested for GSM, pH, stretch and recovery, dimensional stability to wash, tear strength, tensile strength, skewness. Fabric with oil and water repellency finish was also gone through spray rating test. Same fabric shows different characteristics after different performance finish and the results will be presented further ahead with comparing tables and charts
