Analysis of Physical & Chemical Properties of Cotton- Jute Blended Denim After a Sustainable (Industrial Stone Enzyme) Wash

Abstract

Washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels that have great usage to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically denim washing is the most important fashion element for clothing industry. The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of industrial stone enzyme wash on cotton-jute blended denim fabric. For this investigation, blended denim (75% cotton & 25% jute of total weight of fabric with twill 3/1 weave construction) leg panels were chosen. The selected denim fabric has been processed by stone enzyme wash, in order to evaluate the washing effects on denim leg panel, changes of fabric specification (ends/inch, picks/inch), fabric tensile strength, GSM, shrinkage, color fastness and rubbing test results has been determined after enzyme wash. Then pH is measured, and SEM test done to check the microscopic changes on the fabric surface.

Impact of vitamin E in improving comfort, moisture management and mechanical properties of flame-retardant treated cotton fabric

“…Cotton is a widely researched crop and researchers from various disciplines have conducted studies on i.e. cotton flammability [ 1 , 2 ] and cotton coloration [ [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] ] etc. Over the years.…”

The Impact of Neutral Enzyme on Jute-Cotton Blended Denim Fabric

“…Treating this sample fabric with pumice stone and enzyme can further improve the softness. But it will produce a sample with variable physical and mechanical properties [7]. However, washing time is also a significant factor in changing the physical and chemical properties.…”
