  2. Sanforization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanforization

    The greater the pressure applied to the rubber sleeve during sanforization, the less shrinking will occur once the garment is in use. The process may be repeated. 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.

  3. Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_fiber

    Acrylic takes color well, is washable, and is generally hypoallergenic. End-uses include socks, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, home furnishing fabrics, and awnings. Acrylic can also be used to make fake fur and to make many different knitted clothes. As acrylic is a synthetic fiber, the larvae of clothes moths are unable to digest it. However ...

  4. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

    PMMA is also known as acrylic, acrylic glass, as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux, Hesalite, Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex, among several others . This plastic is often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It can also be used as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and for many ...

  5. Polyacrylonitrile - Wikipedia

    However, the disadvantage of these products is that they are costly and can shrink after drying. PAN absorbs many metal ions and aids the application of absorption materials. Polymers containing amidoxime groups can be used for the treatment of metals because of the polymers’ complex-forming capabilities with metal ions.

  6. Dimensional stability (fabric) - Wikipedia

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

    Other fabrics are stretched by mechanical forces during production and can shrink slightly when heated (though to a lesser degree than wool). Some clothes are shrunk in the factory to avoid this problem. [17] Wash care label is like a manual of the garment, customers should refer the wash care instructions before putting their clothes in ...

    An increase in cancer cases in the area was confirmed by the Turkish Medical Association, [34] as the cancer rate in the affected area has increased by 80%, from 1999 to April 2002. [33] In 2003, the owner of Aksa Akrilik died from lung cancer related to acrylonitrile exposure. [33] As of 2001, this is the largest known acrylonitrile leak. [32]

  8. Acrylic resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_resin

    Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl. [2]

  9. Modacrylic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modacrylic

    Modacrylic fibers are modified acrylic fibers made from acrylonitriles, but larger amounts of other polymers are added to make the copolymers. The modacrylic fibers are produced by polymerizing the components, dissolving the copolymer in acetone, pumping the solution into the column of warm air (dry-spun), and stretching while hot. [3]
