Abstract
Soil release finish is one of the important finishing processes, to make the apparel products more fashionable, sustainable, and customer focused. soil release finishing processes have become a popular value additional process which improves the different functional properties of apparel.
The growing environmental and energy-saving concerns will also lead to the gradual replacement of many traditional wet chemistry-based textile processing, using large amounts of water, energy and effluents, by various forms of low-liquor and dry-finishing processes.
Plasma technology, when developed at a commercially viable level, has strong potential to offer, in an attractive way, achievement of new functionalities in textile The main attraction of plasma in the industrial processing is the avoidance of chemical effluents, beside low cost, rapid reaction times and high cleaning efficiency.
In this thesis the fabric was finished by two techniques, namely, wet processing and plasma treatment; in order to achieve the goal, the following steps were done:
1. Pure Cotton and pure polyester fabrics were selected, taking into consideration their availability in Egyptian market.
2. Cotton and polyester fabrics were treated with two Eco friendly modified silicone softener as a soil release agent. Treatment conditions as concentration, pH, wet pick up, drying time and temperature and curing time and temperature were studied.
3. On the other hand, as a dry finishing techniques, both fabrics were subjected to plasma treatment. Air and Argon gases were used with cotton fabric, while Nitrogen, Argon and Helium gases were used with polyester fabric at different exposure time (2, 4, 6 min.).
4. The untreated and treated fabrics were soiled with different stains (mango, tomato, tea, cream, butter, mastered).
5. The Effect of both treatments as stain removal was evaluated according to AATCC, Test Method 130-2010.
6. Other evaluation was carried out via Six sigma and according to a program available at the website www.Isixsigma.com
7. The effect of both treatments on antibacterial growth was evaluated against gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) and gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus).
8. Physico mechanical properties such as wettability, crease recovery and breathability of treated and untreated cotton and polyester fabrics were evaluated.
9. The effect of both treatments on dyeing process and the effect of the dyeing on stain removal was studied.
10. Ten designs using used garments treated by soil release finishing agent as a source of sustainable fashionable designs were created.
11. Other four designs of multi purposes usage, layed out and put in application performed using wet treated fabrics, Tie and dye technique and decorative stitches were used.
12. Fastness properties of dyed fabrics (wash and light) were evaluated according to ISO international standard
