Generally, the first process of fabric pretreatment is singeing, especially for the fabric of natural fiber, as cotton\flax etc., they all need singeing to wipe redundant fibers which are nonuniform on the fabric, this process will make the fabric looks more glossy, and make the grain line more clear. Singeing can benefit dyeing and printing, it can also cut the yarn end and confused yarn.

Singeing & mercerization technique is a high-tech in 1990s. The high count pure cotton yarn will become more smooth and breathable after singeing. Then the fabric will keep the pure cotton characteristics and got the better glossiness after mercerizing, it can give you the pure cotton character and silk feeling.

What is the name of the singe of fire?

The "singe of fire" typically refers to a phenomenon known as "fire singeing," which describes the process of burning or scorching something slightly without fully igniting it. In a more specific context, it could refer to the singeing of hair or fabric. However, if you meant a specific term or concept related to fire, please clarify for further details.

How is bamboo transformed into fabric?

Bamboo is transformed into fabric through a process that involves crushing the bamboo plant to extract cellulose fibers, which are then spun into yarn and woven into fabric. This process is similar to how other plant-based fibers like cotton are turned into fabric.

Why do shrunk finish to the cotton fabric?

The cellulose fiber fabric can breathable moisture absorption,good performance,But the shrinkage rate is big,often bring inconvenience to consumers.But after the shrunk finish,the warp direction of the fabric can shrink in advance,thus lower the shrinkage rate of the finished fabric,to meet the quality requirements of garment processing. The international market usually have requirement to the high-grade products about the warp and weft shrinkage rate,but the commonly used preshrinking machine,have no shrinkage effect to the fabric weft.The high-grade products in order to ensure the shrinkage rate of weft can meet requirement,before the fabric entering the preshrinking machine,must be complete the weft preshrinking,general it is fit doing in Singeing, sizing process,appropriate to increase the fabric warp elongation,have the effect of cloth width contraction,to ensure the products that after preshrinking finishing can meet the double shrinkage requirement.

Which methods can reduce the fabric shrinkage rate?

1. Decreasing tension while refined bleaching. 2. During dyeing and finishing process, drying every cloth need to loose the tension, reduce the elongation for avoiding over-shrink the width, if it is a scutching continuous heating machine, the fabric need a small fabric container then threading into frame after scutching, to avoid too much tension between scutching and squeezing. 3. During mercerizing, expanding tension need to be controlled for keep width of grey fabric, and weft elongation need to be noticed. 4. After mercerizing, the tension in post-processing need to be tight controlled for the product, because mercerized and elongated weft shrinkage rate can be customized by semi-finished product index in every process, fabric in every machines need be measured, post-processing need to check the former process, for ensure the semi-finished product due width. 5. In every process, suppress washing machine, twitch roller, compression roller and drying cylinder need to be checked and well maintained for keep them smooth and clean. Avoid fabric wrinkle after tension loosed, twitch roller in sink should be well operating, in one machine, line speed of front roller and back roller should not a big difference, warp tension should not let the fabric touch the floor, there should be a tightness adjustment device or a partitioned transmission adjustment device for controlling the tension while long-machine subsection. 6. For some machinery tension need to be controlled by manual, standardize tech operations, strengthen tech operation, strengthen machine cleaning, reduce operation tension, reduce the fabric shrinkage rate effectively. 7. Strengthen checking the mercerizing tech condition, conditional dye-works can use straight roller and clip for mercerizing. 8. Fabric kind which have a big weft shrinkage rate, such as khaki, gabardine and poplin need a preshrunk process, for reducing shrinkage rate. In tight producing, these fabric kind can reach the 4% shrinkage rate best, if only rely on loosing mechanical tension, this shrinkage rate should take preshrink process for more reduction, after preshrink process, the product got better shrinkage and better hand-feeling, even the grains become clear and soft. 9. For fabric kind got a big weft shrinkage rate, some cannot get a good weft shrinkage rate in reasonable condition for unreasonable width of grey fabric, it is worse in bad producing condition, this situation need a improvement approaching. Mercerization kind need to prove the fabric width meet the requirement. Otherwise the grey fabric's specification need to be improved, broaden the width of grey fabric for ensuring weft shrinkage rate reduce to requirement range. 10. Resin finishing can reduce shrinkage and provide better elasticity ( hand feeling need to be noticed ), and coating can also reduce shrinkage. 11. For T/C synthetic blending fabric, the mercerizing process technology and operation an control the shrinkage. By yulong tex
