EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE IN WETTABILITY ON PET FABRIC (Pages : 53 - 55)

Polyesters as thermoplastics may change shape after the application of heat. While combustible at high temperatures, polyesters tend to shrink away from flames and self-extinguish upon ignition. Here PET fabric is impregnated with Soil Release Polymer (SRP) and then thermofixed with seven different temperature fabrics are also observed, before and after SRP. The phenomena of wetting behaviour is precisely observed after SRP-impregnation and after thermofixing with different temperature. The results obtained correlated with the wettability of polyester fabric in heat-set PET fabrics before and after deposition of Soil Release Polymer (SRP).Download
