What is Resin finishing? Importance of Resin finishing

Definition of resin

Synthetic resins are complex organic products of high molecular weight. Resin results when a number of simple molecular of low molecular weight become jointed together and to end to form much longer molecules which may be linear or linear molecules cross-linked.



The main outlet of resins has been the plastic industry and the electric field, considerable amounts has been used as paints and varnishes.
Definition of resin finishing

The process of applying resins on textile material so that they cross link inside the amorphous region, block the free hydroxyl groups, prevent the H-bond formation and thus improve resin finishing.
It may be applied on the surface of the material to form a coating or it may be applied to the amorphous region of the material to impart a crease resisting property.
It is a permanent chemical finishing. The principle is based on the formation of infinite networks and the quantitative characterization of network structure with cross linking of homogeneous polymers.

*Importance/Why resin finishing is applied on cotton

>Improved resistance and recovery to creasing is important by this finish.
>It improves resilience, handle and draping properties of fabrics.
>Increase in weight is achieved.
>Increase the strength of rayon in both hot and cold state.
>Decrease the extension of rayon with freedom from distortion.
>By this finish, dye fastness can be improved.
>It sometimes resists the degradation of textile material by light.
>It gives comfort to wearer in different climates.
>It imparts adequate resistance to wear and tear of fabrics.
>It provides full retention of all creases and pleats.
>Good soil repellency and easy removal of soil by washing can be achieved by this finish.

*General recipe for resin finishing of cellulosic material

Cross-linking agent: 100-120 gm/l
MgCl2: 100-120 gm/l
PH (Maintained by CH3COOH): 4.5-5
Drying temperature: 1000C
Curing temperature: 130-1700C
Curing time: 2-4 minutes

*Cross-linking agents

Cross-linking agents create chemical bonds between polymer molecules to form a three dimensional network e.g. in a fibre or in a pigment binder. This generally restricts swelling in inhibits solubility and alters elastic recovery. The most important cross-linking agents are:
Urea formaldehyde
Tetramethylol Acetylene diUrea (TMADU)
Dimethyl Ethylene Urea (DMEU)
Dimethylol Dihydroxy Ethylene Urea (DMDHEU)

Introduction: Bangladesh export industries for apparel and textiles have completed its four decade. During this time there were different phases of challenges and prosperity. In the 1 st  decade the challenge was the technical know-how. Some of the big enterprises of that time played a leading role e.g. Reaz garments, Desh Garments, Paris Garments, etc. Of them Desh garments together with Korean company Hyundai trained many of its staffs in Korea for technical training. From those trained staffs our industry got many new entrepreneurs who later become leading industrialist of this time. At the middle of its 2 nd  phase the government took various steps in order to set up backward and forward linkages for the industry. This brought many new spinning mills, weaving mills, and most importantly knitted composite factories were grew up in the country like mushrooms. During the end of 2 nd  decade and start of the 3 rd  decade Bangladesh garment industry faced the first global challen

Hydro Extractor | Advantages of Hydro Extractor in Textile Finishing Process Hydro Extractor: Hydro-Extractors are also called Centrifuges. Centrifuges are used for water extraction (dewatering, pre-drying) of textile materials. Values of approx. 15% for residual moisture content can be achieved depending on the type of textile fiber. Centrifuges with perforated drums or baskets (Ø up to approx. 2000 mm) which oscillate vertically in ball-and-socket joints suspended on three points are produced in various designs as pendulating, suspension, cage and vertical centrifuges, also with so called gliding support bearings as gliding support centrifuges or in horizontal resp. vertical arrangements as open-width, horizontal and warp-beam centrifuges, etc. Most centrifuges have electric drives for speeds of approx. 750–1200 rpm and are generally provided with automatic control over various ranges. For safety reasons, an interlocking lid is essential on a centrifuge so that the motor cannot b

What is Production Planning in Garments industry?

-
Production planning is the very important department in garments industry. Production planning is the controlling aspect of garments industry. It is involves everything & every task in the process to execution the delivery of goods within time frame. So, production planning is the controlling of production & manufacturing process determined by time frame. Planning department plan every style to execution the order within time limit. Without time frame garment cannot sustain so garment industry must follow every task by scheduling. Each order has a delivery date & production plan department follow production plan on the base of delivery date. They know when fabric & trims in-house in factory will. Basically some of fabric & trims come from Local & internationally .So, they plan both option on the base of delivery date. A buyer can judgment by shipment percentage & where the vendor current position? So production planning department must follow some of the
