Dimension Stability

Dimension Stability :

     Dimension Stability is the testing that done to find out exact shrinkage of the fabric. This can be obtained by doing testing on Garment or fabrics. Internationally we have a specific method to find the shrinkage. Many 3rd party testing agencies are conducting this test and we can easily do this test in our home by just washing. yes, just a washing machine is enough to find he shrinkage of the fabric or garment.

     Now, let us see the procedure to find the shrinkage of the fabric.

1.  We need to measure the garments in length & width measurements.
2.  After measuring the garments put it for washing.
3.  After washing make it Flat dry or Hang dry
4. After drying remove the wrinkles by just pressing by hot steam (Ironing).
5.  Measure the same Length & width of the garment.

After doing the above steps we have to apply a simple formula to calculate the shrinkage. The formula for calculating the shrinkage.

 After wash - Before wash /  Before wash x 100

By applying the formula you can find the shrinkage of the Garment or Fabric.

Testing - Knitted Garments

Testing is one of the major factor in all aspects. There are many testing carried out in industry for various products. The testing may vary from product to products.

Knitted Garments Basic Testing:

• Dimension Stability
• GSM (Grams per Square Meter)

• Colour fastness to Rubbing

• Colour fastness to Washing

• Colour fastness to Laundering

• Spirality

• Colour fastness to Perspiration

• Colour fastness to Light

• Appearance After Washing

• Pilling

• Saliva

• Phtaletes

• Azo Free test

• Nickel Free Test

• Ph value

• Free Formaldehyde 

• Fiber composition

These are the basic and main test carried out on Knitted Garments. 

Printing Technology

     Printing is the technique which gives life to garments. An normal garment will get design by the help of printing and will be very beautiful. There are many types of printing will be more and still keep on increasing. In knitting and woven both we are using printing. Also in home textiles we are using printing. 

The types of printing will be like.

• Pigment Print
• Non PVC print
• Gadi print
• Transfer print
• Flock Print
• Foil print
• Digital Print
• All over Print
• MHM print
• Burn out print
• Discharge print

Still there are many more types of printing available in Industry. All are slightly vary from this print technique. These are the basic print technique's.
