What are the different finishing types performed on the fabrics?

1. Calendering: A process of pressing fabric between heated rollers to smooth and flatten the surface and create a glossy finish.
2. Mercerization: A treatment used on cotton fabric to increase its strength, sheen, and dye uptake.
3. Singeing: A process of burning off loose fibers from the surface of the fabric to create a smoother, more uniform surface.
4. Sanforizing: A process of pre-shrinking fabric before it is cut and sewn to prevent further shrinkage during washing.
5. Embossing: A process of pressing a pattern or design onto the surface of the fabric to create a textured effect.
6. Anti-microbial treatment: The application of a chemical to a cloth to stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes.
7. Flame retardant treatment: A process of applying a chemical treatment to the fabric to make it resistant to flames.
8. Water-repellent treatment: A process of applying a chemical treatment to the fabric to make it resistant to water.
9. Wrinkle-resistant treatment: A process of applying a chemical treatment to the fabric to prevent wrinkling during use and washing.
10. UV protection treatment: A process of applying a chemical treatment to the fabric to make it resistant to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

Different Weaving for Institutional and Retail Fabric

• Single jersey: The most common type of knit fabric. It features interlocking loops on the face and purl stitches on the back, creating a smooth, stretchy fabric.
• Rib knit: A knit fabric with raised vertical ribs on both sides. It is often used for cuffs, collars, and waistbands because it is stretchy and retains its shape well.
• Interlock knit: A double-faced knit fabric that is smooth on both sides. It is thicker and more stable than single jersey and is often used for baby clothes and blankets.
• Jacquard knit: A knit fabric with a patterned design created by using different colors and stitches. It is often used for sweaters, socks, and hats.

Different Weaving for Institutional and Retail Fabric

Institutional fabrics, which are fabrics designed for use in institutional settings such as hospitals, hotels, and schools, are available in a range of weaving types. Here are some common weaving types used for institutional fabrics:

• Plain weave: A basic over-under weave that creates a strong, durable fabric with a smooth surface. Commonly used for bed linens, tablecloths, and uniforms.
• Twill weave: A weave that creates a diagonal pattern on the fabric surface, making it more wrinkle-resistant and durable. Often used for bed linens, uniforms, and curtains.
• Satin weave: A weave that creates a smooth, shiny surface on one side of the fabric by floating the warp yarns over several weft yarns. Often used for bed linens, tablecloths, and curtains.
• Dobby weave: A weave that creates small geometric patterns on the fabric surface by selectively raising and lowering warp yarns. Often used for towels, bathrobes, and napkins.
• Jacquard weave: A weave that creates intricate patterns and designs on the fabric surface by controlling individual warp yarns. Often used for bedspreads, draperies, and upholstery.
• Herringbone weave: A weave that creates a zigzag pattern on the fabric surface, making it more durable and resistant to wear. Often used for bed linens, tablecloths, and curtains.
• Basket weave: A weave that creates a criss-cross pattern on the fabric surface, making it more breathable and lightweight. Often used for towels, napkins, and aprons.
• Percale weave: A weave that creates a crisp, cool, and smooth fabric with a matte finish. Often used for bed linens and pillowcases.
• Cambric weave: A lightweight, plain weave fabric that is tightly woven to create a smooth, soft texture. Often used for bed linens, tablecloths, and curtains.
