Shape Memory Finishing of Wool Fabrics and Garments

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shape memory finishing is suitable to wool knitted and woven fabric. The chemical is water soluble and environment friendly. The shape memory treated wool knitted fabric and garments achieve good dimensional stability, pill resistance, pattern design, crease retention, wrinkle recovery and bagging recovery effects. The finishing process is simple, saving water and can be done using the normal common washing machine. Shape memory chemical is also used on cashmere finishing increasing the piling rates.
