MATERIALS FOR DECORATION Flashcards
FMR (107 cards)
a common finish process for linen. the fabric is hammered, the yarns are flattened
BEETLING (PINUKPOK)
process makes the fabric white and impurities are removed
BLEACHING
a finishing process which makes the frabrics smooth and glossy. This is done by passing the fabric between heavily heated steel rollers at a pressure up to 2000 pounds per sqr inch.
CALENDERING
a wool finishing process to prevent creases of other forms of uneven shrinkage in latter stages of finishings
CRABBING
the finishing process improves the appearance, enhances luster and hand of material
DECATING or DECATIZING
decating tyle which usually done on cotton, rayon or silk the cloth is wound on a perforated drum
DRY DECATING PROCESS
decating style which the cloth is wound on a roller and treated in a hot water or steam boiler
WET DECATING PROCESS
Important finish applied to wool fabrics. It is pre-shrinking process which involves the application of moisture, heat, friction, anc pressure.
FULLING
discovered by John Mercer, an English scientist and chemist from whom the term was derived. It is common finishing process for cotton. Fabrics increase its strength, reduce shrinkage and give it greater absorbency for dyes.
MERCERIZING
The finishing process is applied to fabrics for the purpose of removing the fuzz of protruding fibers.
SINGEING OR GASSING
These are other terms for starching. The cloth is filled with starch to increase strength, smoothness, stiffness, or weight of the fabric
SIZING OR DRESSING
this process straightness and restores the cloth to its proper dimensions.
TENTERING, STENTERING OR HEAT-SETTING
process done to fabrics, sometimes to fibers and yarns, causing them to change in appearance, texture and performance.
FINISH
CLASSIFICATION OF FINISHES
- Based on the extent to which they will stay on the fabrics, such as durable, temporary or permanent
a. Temporary Finish
b. Durable Finish
c. Permanent Finish - Based on whether it is a general or special finish
a. General Finish
b. Special Finishes
the kind of finish that lasts until the fabric is washed or dry-cleaned
Temporary Finish
this last longer than temporary but it may become unsatisfactory with the passing time
Durable Finish
lasts until the garment is of service
Permanent Finish
include those finishes that affect the texture and appearance of the cloth.
General Finish
Include those which affect the performance of the cloth
Special Finishes
SPECIAL FINISHES
- ANTISEPTIC FINISH
- ANTI-STATIC FINISH
- CREASE-RESISTANT FINISH
- FLAME RETARDANT FINISH
- GLAZED FINISH
- HEAT-REFLECTANT FINISH
- MILDEW-RESISTANT FINISH
- MOTH-RESISTANT FINISH
- NAPPING
- SHRINK-RESISTANT FINISH (Mechanical Method)
- SLIP-RESISTANT FINISH
- SOIL AND STAIN-RESISTANT FINISH
- WASH AND WEAR FINISH OR MINI-CARE FINISH
- WATER-REPPELANT FINISH
- WATERPROOF FINISH
one of the most important aspects in fabrics. In many cases, it is the primary reason for purchase.
COLOR
two kinds of colorants
- Dyes
- Pigments
soluble substances which penetrate into the fabric and are fixed by a chemical action, heat or other treatment
DYES
