Textile Finishing
• Any operation for improving the appearance or usefulness of a
fabric after it leaves the loom or knitting machine can be
considered a finishing step.
• This broad definition includes pretreatments such as washing,
bleaching and coloration.

Finishing Finishing

Chemical finishing or ‘wet finishing’ involves the addition of chemicals to


textiles to achieve a desired result.

Mechanical finishing or ‘dry finishing’ uses mainly physical (especially


mechanical) means to change fabric properties and usually alters the
fabric appearance as well. 7
The challenge and charm of chemical finishing
• The proper formulation of chemical finishes requires consideration of
several important factors:
• the type of textile being treated (fibre and construction);
• The performance requirements of the finish (extent of effect and
durability);
• the cost to benefit ratio;
• restrictions imposed on the process by availability of machinery,
• procedure requirements,
• environmental considerations; and
• compatibility of different formula components as well as the
interaction of the finishing effects. 8
