    PP: polypropylene, PE: polyethylene, PVC: Polyvinyl chloride, PS: Polystyrene, PET: Polyethylene terephthalate. Susceptibility to photo-oxidation varies depending on the chemical structure of the polymer. Some materials have excellent stability, such as fluoropolymers, polyimides, silicones and certain acrylate polymers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_bleaching

    The objective of bleaching is to remove the natural color for the following steps such as dyeing or printing or to achieve full white. [1] All raw textile materials, when they are in natural form, are known as 'greige' material. They have their natural color, odor and impurities that are not suited to clothing materials.

  7. Rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

    Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

  8. Dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye

    The dyes are finely ground in the presence of a dispersing agent and sold as a paste, or spray-dried and sold as a powder. Their main use is to dye polyester, but they can also be used to dye nylon, cellulose triacetate, and acrylic fibers. In some cases, a dyeing temperature of 130 °C (266 °F) is required, and a pressurized dyebath is used ...

  9. Textile printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_printing

    Textile printing is related to dyeing but in dyeing properly the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one colour, whereas in printing one or more colours are applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply defined patterns. [1] In printing, wooden blocks, stencils, engraved plates, rollers, or silkscreens can be used to place colours on ...
