Anti-Felting Properties of Wool Fabric Treated with Keratin

Abstract:

Anti-felting properties of knitted wool fabric treated with keratin were investigated by a laboratory scale treatment. The effects of concentration of keratin, treatment temperature and time, drying temperature on the anti-felting properties of wool were studied respectively. The study provided shrinkage data perfectly comparable with those obtained by the currently used shrink proofing processes, but with some important advantages: the total absence of chlorine in the process and the complete biodegradability of keratin without harmful and toxic chemical agents. Therefore, this method showed us the possibility of keratin treated wool fabric for industrial use.
