EFFECT OF CHEMICAL
TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE
CREASE RECOVERY ON COTTON
FABRIC
 INTRODUCTION
The total appearance value has been correlated
with the crease recovery property in fabric. Cotton
is an important fiber in textiles, because of its
numerous advantages which need no explanation.
One of the main disadvantages of cotton is creasing
after washing. On creasing the cotton fabrics, the
molecular chains in the amorphous region slip past
each other, breaking the weak hydrogen bonds due
to stretched chains then form new hydrogen bonds
in the stretched places and thus the fabric holds the
creases. So to avoid this drawback cotton fabrics
are treated with various chemicals to improve
crease recovery.
EFFECT OF SOFTENING AGENT
Softening agents give very smooth and attractive look for
garments. And Softening finishes are among the most
important of textile chemical after treatments, with
chemical softeners; textiles can achieve an agreeable, soft
hand (supple, pliant, sleek and fluffy), some smoothness,
more flexibility and better drape and pliability. Thus to
improve crease recovery on cotton fabric various types of
softeners are used.
Khadi is a hand spun and hand woven fabric made of
cotton, wool, silk and their blends. Khadi is an Indian
fabric also known by another name khaddar. It is made by
spinning the threads on instrument known as charkha
that is used to create khadi. Ambar Charkha is the latest
spinning wheel that is still hand operated. Khadi was used
and produced for years, by the middle and working classes
of subcontinent in the 19th century especially during
swadeshi movement.
 TYPES OF SOFTENERS

Anionic softeners (sulphated oils, sulphated

alcohols, soaps, oil emulsions etc.)

Nonionic softeners (polyethylene emulsion, silicone

emulsion, polyoxyethylene derivatives etc.)

Cationic softeners (quaternary ammonium and

other cationic products.)
EFFECT OF ANIONIC SOFTENER ON CREASE
RECOVERY ANGLE OF COTTON FABRIC;
In case of thick cotton fabric it was shows that
crease recovery increased considerably on
application of 2% conc. of anionic softener. But
on further increasing the conc. of softener up to
4% & 6% the crease recovery was decreased. In
case of medium cotton fabric the crease recovery
angle was decreased on application of 2% conc. of
anionic softener and it increased when fabric was
applied to 4% conc. and when fabric was treated
to 6%conc. it was decreased again.
In case of fine cotton fabric the crease recovery
angle continuously decrease on increasing the
concentration of anionic softener was observed.
 EFFECT OF CATIONIC SOFTENER ON CREASE
RECOVERY ANGLE OF COTTON FABRIC;

In this the crease recovery of thick cotton fabric was

increased after the application of cationic softener at 2%
conc. and on increasing the conc. to 4% crease recovery
was decreased and crease recovery was again decreased
on increasing the conc. up to 6% in cotton fabric.
In case of medium weight cotton fabric similar crease
recovery were obtained as In case of application of anionic
softener on fine cotton fabric. That was the crease
recovery angle continuously decreases on increasing the
concentration of cationic softener. But In case cationic
softener on fine cotton fabric the crease recovery was
continuously decreased on increasing the conc. up to 4%.
On further increasing the conc. to 6% there was slightly
increase in crease recovery angle.
 EFFECT OF NONIONIC SOFTENER ON CREASE
RECOVERY ANGLE OF COTTON FABRIC
After finishing cotton fabric with nonionic
softener. It shows that crease recovery of thick
fabric decreased up to 2%. It increases when
concentration was increased to 4% and then it
decreased when concentration softener was
increased to 6% of thick cotton fabric.
In case of medium thickness cotton fabric crease
recovery was continuously decreased up to 4%
and it was increased on increasing the
concentration to 6%. In case of fine cotton fabric
it decreased from the control sample but it
increased on increasing the concentration of
nonionic softener up to 6%.
 EFFECT OF CITRIC ACID AND TEMPERATURE:
Increasing in citric acid concentration and curing
temperature directly increases the crease recovery angle. But
the maximum concentration of citric acid and lower curing
temperature shows lower crease recovery angle.
Effect of Trisodiumcitrate and Temperature:

The low conc. of trisodiumcitrate and different curing

temperature shows high crease recovery angle. And when
increase in conc. of trisodiumcitrate reduce the crease recovery
angle. Butthe best crease recovery angle shows at high curing
temperature with high concentration of trisodiumcitrate than
low curing temperature with high concentration of
trisodiumcitrate. The crease recovery angle of cotton fabric is
increased by increasing the concentration of citric acid and
curing temperature and the trisodiumcitrate acts as the best
catalyst at all concentration of citric acid and curing
temperature.
 EFFLUENT TREATMENT
Effluent is the stream of excess chemical liquor extracted from an
industry after using in original operation. For example, the
excess dye liquor extracted from textile industry after dyeing is
an effluent of that dyeing industry. Industrial effluent generated
from different processes are treated with various chemicals to
remove or neutralize the environmentally toxic materials present
in it, before discharging it to surface or ground water. This is
called effluent treatment.
