Effect of caustic treatment on cotton/modal blended fabric

View through CrossRef
Attempt has been made to assess the cotton/modal (60:40) blended woven fabric properties after mercerization with caustic lye of different strengths. Cotton/Modal (60:40) fabric was subjected to bulk mercerization process and subsequently dyed with reactive dyes. The colour strength, fastness properties (washing, staining and rubbing etc.), tensile and tear strength and shrinkage were characterized. The results of this study indicate that cotton/modal blended fabric that was considered in this study can be processed under similar conditions as those that are maintained for cotton fabrics generally and that the aforementioned properties are improved generally.
