Grey Fabric Inspection

The document describes several processes involved in fabric inspection and preparation: 1) Fabric is inspected for defects after manufacturing and then stitched to increase its length for processing. 2) Brushing is used to remove dirt, dust, and loose fibers from the fabric. 3) Shearing or cropping removes protruding fiber ends, after which singeing burns off any remaining loose fibers to smooth the fabric.

Grey Fabric Inspection:

After manufacturing fabric it is inspected in an inspection Table. It is the process to remove neps, warp end
breakage, weft end breakage, hole spot.

Stitching:
To increase the length of the fabric for making suitable for processing is called stitching. It is done by plain
sewing m/c.

Brushing:
To remove the dirt, dust, loose fibre & loose ends of the warp & weft threads is known as brushing.

Shearing / Cropping:
The process by which the attached ends of the warp & weft thread is removed by cutting by the knives or
blades is called shearing. Shearing is done for cotton & cropping for jute. After Shearing or cropping fabrics
goes under singeing process.

Singeing:
The process by which the protruding / projecting fibres are removed from the fabrics by burning / heat to
increase the smoothness of the fabric is called singeing. If required both sides of fabric are singed.

Desizing:
The process by which the sizing mtls (starch) are removed from the fabric is known as desizing. This must
be done before printing.

Scouring:
The process by which the natural impurities (oil, wax, fat etc) & added/external/adventitious impurities (dirt,
dust etc) are removed from the fabric is called scouring. It is done by strong NaOH.

Souring:
The process by which the alkali are removed from the scoured fabric with dilute acid solution is known as
souring.

Bleaching:
The process by which the natural colours (nitrogenous substance) are removed from the fabric to make the
fabric pure & permanent white is known as
bleaching. It is done by bleaching agent.

Mercerizing:
The process by which the cellulosic mtls/substance are treated with highly conc.NaOH to impart some
properties such as strength, absorbency capacity, lusture is known as mercerizing. It is optional. If the
fabrics are 100% export oriented then it is done by highly conc. NaOH (48-52° Tw).

Dyeing :
A process of coloring fibers, yarns, or fabrics with either natural or synthetic dyes. 

Printing:
A process for producing a pattern on yarns, warp, fabric, or carpet by any of a large number of printing
methods. The color or other treating material, usually in the form of a paste, is deposited onto the fabric
which is then usually treated with steam, heat, or chemicals for fixation.
