  2. Dimensional stability (fabric) - Wikipedia

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

    The fabric passes through many inevitable changes and mechanical forces during this journey. When the products are immersed in water, the water acts as a relaxing medium, and all stresses and strains are relaxed and the fabric tries to come back to its original state. [2] The more dimensionally stable a fabric is, the less it is subject to ...

  3. Heatsetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heatsetting

    Heat setting is a term used in the textile industry to describe a thermal process usually taking place in either a steam atmosphere or a dry heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability and, very often, other desirable attributes like higher volume, wrinkle resistance or temperature resistance.

    A More Affordable Option: Linen Blends. Hanley says that their linen bedding is made from high-quality, sustainably sourced flax after it is woven into a fabric and washed for its signature softness.

  7. Sanforization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanforization

    The aim of the process is a cloth which does not shrink significantly during production, cutting, ironing, sewing, or especially, by wearing and washing the finished clothes. Cloth and articles made from it may be labelled to have a specific shrink-proof value (if pre-shrunk), e.g., of under 1%.

  8. Wrinkle-resistant fabric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrinkle-resistant_fabric

    Wrinkle resistance is achieved by the crosslinking of cellulose chains to stop the molecules from moving when in contact with water or other environmental stress. [15] Cotton cellulose polymer comprises three different regions: the crystalline region, the amorphous region, and an intermediate region between them.

    Typical maximum with current technologies are in 15,000 range. High-performance fabrics may get A1 test scores in 10,000 to 15,000 g m −2 d −1 range and usually shows that a fabric has a fairly quick release of moisture, but may not be the best over longer periods of use.
