ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF JUTE/COTTON BLENDED FABRIC AFTER DIFFERENT WASHING PROCESS (Pages : 7 - 10)

The aim of this work is to investigate the properties of Jute/Cotton 20/80 (20% Jute & 80% Cotton) blended denim raw fabric after several washing process such as Enzyme, Stone and Acid wash. It is observed the properties changes in Jute/Cotton blended 3/1 twill denim fabric after three different wash. The changes in GSM, Shrinkage%, Mechanical strength, Abrasion, Pilling, Colour fastness to wash and rubbing after different washes are evaluated. The use of fabrics made from Jute/Cotton blended yarns would surely strength our economy by cutting a part of the cost incurred for importing cotton and enhancing the value addition due to locally produced cheaper jute as a raw material.Download
