Industry:Textiles
A spinning system in which the yarn receives its twist by being rolled along the longitudinal axis in the nip between two revolving surfaces. The surfaces may rotate at the same or different speeds in the same or opposite directions depending on the particular machine design. Potential advantages include high production capacity, low stress on the fiber in processing, and the capacity to produce very fine counts.
Industry:Textiles
Acetate fabrics in wide widths may be cut into narrow ones by the application of heat. A hot knife blade caused the edges to sear and bead, thereby doing away with selvages on the edges of the goods.
Industry:Textiles
A group of filaments bonded together in a tow by drips or frictional effects and thereby resistant to filament separation and crimp deregistering.
Industry:Textiles
A finishing process used in the manufacture of woolen and worsted fabrics. The cloth is subjected to moisture, heat friction, chemicals, and pressure which cause it to mat and shrink appreciably in both the warp and filling directions, resulting in a denser, more compact fabric.
Industry:Textiles
1. A hard particle of acetate material ofalmost any shape or size other than recognizable fiber.Sometimes fused acetate particles resemble rock-like,hardened drops of acetate dope; in other cases fused acetate consists of particles covered withfiber clusters and completely hardened in the center. 2. Acetate yarns in which the individualfilaments are coalesced.
Industry:Textiles
A term applied to fabrics produced on a flat-knitting machine, such as hosiery, sweater, and underwear, that have been shaped by adding or reducing stitches.
Industry:Textiles
A defect of woven fabric consisting of surface highlights that give a frosted appearance. Frost marks are caused by improper sizing or insufficient warp tension as a result of uneven bending of some warp ends over the picks.
Industry:Textiles
1. A term applied when the pile of a velvet, plush, velour, or other pile fabric is uncut. A friezé fabric is sometimes patterned by shearing the loops at different lengths. Friezé fabrics are widely used for upholstery.
2. A cut-pile carpet made of highly twisted yarns normally plied and heat-set. A kinked or curled yarn effect is achieved. Excellent durability results from the hard-twist pile yarns.
