Clothing is a basic need for human being and primary function of a fabric is to protect the body from adverse surrounding condition, winter being the most important of them. Since the time humans have found the need to cover the body with fabrics, there has been continuous attempts to improve the way fabric or […]

Dyes are soluble coloured organic compounds that are usually applied to textiles from a solution in water. They are designed to bond strongly to the polymer molecules that make up the textile fibre. A dye in solution is coloured because of the selective absorption of certain wavelengths of light by specific bonds in the molecule. […]

Importance of Moisture Management: Human body acts like an air conditioning. This sophisticated system reliably regulates our body temperature. An essential control mechanism of this system is the release of moisture at the right moment to protect the body from overheating. Moisture Management is the ability of a fabric/garment to manage the moisture (primarily sweat) […]

Water repellent technologies have evolved a great extent since being introduced to the textile industry. The basis of achieving water repellent property to textiles is ‘hydrophobicity’, which means ‘fear of water’ or ‘lack of affinity for water’. Water repellency is achieved by lowering the surface energy of the fabric so that water will “bead” on […]
