development.
6. Due to washing,
shrinkage occurs in the garments. There is no possibility of further shrinkage
of the wash garments.
7. Any dirt, spot or germ
if added in the garments during manufacturing is also removed due to washing.
AdvantagesofGarmentWashing
1. Starch materials is present in
the new fabrics of he new garment are removed, hence feels soft during use.
2. Softness feeling of garments
could be further increased.Washed garment could be wear directly after purchase
from store.
3. Fading affect is produced in the
garment in regular or irregular pattern.
4. Fading affect could be produced
in the specific area of the garment as per specific design.
5. Different outlook of garment
could be produced in the garment by different washing techniques.
6. Similar outlook can be produced
in the garments by different washing techniques.
7. Initial investment cost to set
up a garment washing plant is comparatively lower.
9. Shrinkage occurs in the garment
washing, hence no possibility of further shrinkage.
Typesof GarmentWash:
1. Normal wash/ garment
wash/rinse wash
2. Pigment wash
3. Caustic wash
4. Enzyme wash
6. Stone enzyme wash
7. Tinting (Tie) & Over
Dyeing(Dip Dyeing)
8. Super white wash
9. Bleach wash
10. Acid wash
11.
Silicon wash
Those are discussed in the
following:
1. Enzyme Wash:
The wash in which enzyme is used called enzyme wash. This enzyme
may be neutral or acid depends on the requirement of shed. In this wash, enzyme
is used for producing different types of abrasion for the garments. As a
result, the garments are looking very nice to see. The main target of enzyme
wash is to change the outlook of any knit garments.
2. Stone Enzyme Wash or Heavy enzyme wash:
In this wash, enzyme and stone are used together for producing
heavy abrasion for the garments. Here, the wash technician should have taken
some precaution to avoid the damage of the garments. For avoiding this case,
its prefer to be used the very small stone. The main target of this wash is to
produce heavy abrasion on knit garments.
3. Rubber Ball Wash:
Rubber ball wash is nothing but a garments and softener wash. In
this process, garments will more soft and at a time seam abrasion will come.
When any knit garments needed more hand-fell with seam abrasion that time we
will use this process.
4. Hot Wash:
Normally in knit fabrics, hot wash is used to prevent the
shrinkage problem after completing different treatment of that garments. Hot
wash should be done before making any garments. It’s should be noted that, When
a garment have any treatment such as- Garment dye, Cold dye, P.P spray etc.
then it’s a mandatory process to complete fabrics hot wash before making of
that garment. Otherwise, it will create problems during measurement.
5. Softener Silicon Wash:
When any knit garments needed more hand-fell and softness in the
same occasion, in that case, this wash will be used. For this wash, softener
and silicon both will be used together where silicon will be used for softening
the cellulose and silicon for surface slipper. The softener nay be cationic or
nonionic.
6. Acid Wash:
The main target of this wash is to produce uneven look on knit
garments. Acid wash is done by potash and stone. At first, we have to dip the
stone in potash solution then slight dry the stone and wash in a washing
machine. After all we will get an uneven look on garments.
7. P.P Spray:
P.P Spray means potassium permanganate spray on the specific
area of a garment. This chemical is used to reduce the color from the knit
garments. At first, knit garments have to take by two person in two sides, then
this chemical will be applied with the help of P.P gun by air pressure. This
spray is done on the scrapping area and after neutralize by sodium
meta-bi-sulphite chemical in washing machine, a white look on the spray area
will be achieved.
8. Garment Dye:
Garment dye process is done all time after making the garments.
Traditional garments are made from fabric that is pre dyed. Garment dye can be
pigment dye or cold dye which is totally depends on the buyer’s instruction.
The main advantage of this process is the cost effectiveness of much producing
identical garments of particular colors. Also it has another advantage, due to
garments dyeing; it becomes softer and feels more vintage which is one of the
important factors to satisfy the buyer.
9. Cold Dye:
Cold dye is one kinds of garments dye. Cold dye is two types.
One is “Inside cold dye” and another one is “Outside cold dye”. During cold dye
process, buyer suggestion should be followed about inside/outside cold dye. If
buyer doesn’t mention about it, then you have to do just outside cold dye. The
main target of this process is to produce uneven shade on knit garments.
10. Pigment Dye:
Pigment dye is also one kinds of garment dye. After completing
this process, knit garments will achieve the even shade. The main difference
between cold dye and pigment dye is, in cold dye, knit garments will achieve
uneven shade and in pigment dye, will achieve the even shade.
11. Tie Dye:
This is the dyeing process which is applied on the knit garments
by using tie. At first, the knit garments have to tie with string or rubber
bands then its send to the dyeing. In this process, dyes percentage should be
set previously. By this dyeing process, the knit garments achieved an uneven
dyeing shade. Where some area of the garments absorbed dyes and some of the
area did not absorb. The main target of this process is to produce an uneven
dyeing shade in all parts of knit garments.
12. Deep Dye:
This is also one kinds of
uneven dyeing process. By this process, a knit garment will
achieve various uneven shades in part by part. To produce such kinds of uneven
shade, dyeing bath should be made firstly, and then garments have to put into
the dyeing bath by a dip dyeing machine. This machine dip the garments for
certain time then put out the garments from the bath. Using this process, it’s
seen that, one area of the knit garments absorbed one color and another portion
of that garments absorbed another color. For this type of dyeing process,
reactive dyes are used due to good color fastness. The main target of this
process is to achieve more than one color in same Knit garments.
