Flax Fiber

Flax is also called Linen. The fibre is obtained from the stalk of a plant (Linum Usitatissimum - A literal translation is “linen most useful.” ) which is from 80 to 120 cm high, with few branches and small flowers, of a colour which varies from white to intense blue, which flowers only for one day. Common flax was one of the first 

Chemical Properties of Flex Fibre:

Chemical Properties of Flax: 
Flax is a natural cellulosic fiber and it has some chemical properties. Chemical properties of the Flax fiber are given below:

1. Effect of Acids: Flax fiber is damaged by highly densified acids but low dense acids does not affect if it is wash 
   

Flax & Hemp:

Flax & Hemp:

Flax (in fibre form) is practically undifferentiated from hemp, which threatens possible confusion with the latter, which is considerably different in price. Flax and hemp are cellulose fibres produced from stocks of row material. Their properties are similar and they are scarcely differentiated at the fibre form. Analytical

Wool Fiber

Wool is an animal hair fiber that, chemically, is made of a naturally occurring protein called keratin. This is a general definition that would include the body hairs of many animals but, in common parlance, the word is used for the body

Characteristics of Wool Fabrics:

There are many factors, which affect the quality of wool fabric. The kind of sheep from which the wool is obtained, its physical condition, the part of the sheep from which the wool is obtained, and the finishing processes are some of the factors, which affect

Flow chart of wool Finishing Process:

Wool Finishing Processes:

The sequence of the treatments undergone by wool fibres in various forms (staple, sliver, yarn, woven and knitted fabric) varies according to the modification process of the fibre structure, according to the type of processing system used and according to the experience of the

Wool Sorting Description:

Raw wool: 

As it comes from the sheep’s back, wool is not a very promising fibre in appearance. Even though the sheep have been washed shortly before shearing, dirt and leaves, grasses and thorns, cling closely to the matted and tangled tresses of the

Carbonizing of Wool:

Wool Carbonizing Process:

Carbonizing is done to remove the cellulosic impurities from wool by treatment with acid or acid producing salts. Carbonizing may be carried out in loose wool or on piece goods after scouring. However, it is common practice to carbonise worsted 

Impurities of wool:

Introduction:
Raw wool contains 40% or more by weight of impurities in the form of waxes, suint, cellulosic material such as straw and dried grass, dirt, and proteinaceous material. Besides, during spinning and weaving other impurities are added
