2. Dimensional stability (fabric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_stability_(fabric)

   Dimensional stability (in fabric) pertains to a fabric's ability to maintain its initial size and shape even after undergoing wear and care, which is a desirable property. [1] Textile manufacturing is based on the conversion of fiber into yarn, yarn into fabric, includes spinning, weaving, or knitting, etc. The fabric passes through many ...

3. Textile stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_stabilization

   The correct "choice of appropriate fabric color/texture is critical if the textile ground is translucent or if the fabric is expected to compensate for future losses.” [6] Overview: Localized loss including holes, wear, and tear require stabilization. Implementing localized supports such as patches or fills.

4. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

   The use of titanium dioxide (TiO 2) (as a catalyst/ co-catalyst for these reactions) has become an alternative way to minimize the formation of free formaldehyde and fabric strength loss. [10] DMDHEU is the most commonly used durable-press finish. In this process, the chemical is first applied to the fabric.

   The fabric needs vary greatly depending on the application. Similar types of fabric may not be suitable for all applications. [125] Fabric weight is an important criteria while producing different fabrics. A carpet requires a fabric with 1300 GSM, but a robe may be made with 160 GSM. Certainly, fabrics for clothes and carpets have distinct ...
