Effect of fabric softening treatment on Printing fastness

Knitted cotton or artificial cotton is one of the main fabrics of clothing fabrics, mainly children's clothing, underwear, T-shirt, T-shirt and so on. Domestic markets are concentrated in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Quanzhou, Fujian, Jiangsu, Qingdao, Jimo, Shandong, etc. Because of marketization and market competitiveness, some brands or businesses, in order to maximize profits, mix chemical fibers or replace combs with combs to serve as cotton fabrics. For the fabric, in order to imitate the soft effect of cotton, silicone oil or silicone softener is usually added in the washing process of gray fabric weaving to achieve a variety of effects at one time to improve the fabric's apparent style and hand feel. However, after years of practice, the comparison between Textile Research Institute and University of science and technology found that for this kind of soft treated fabric, international brands and domestic well-known coating adhesives are widely used The color fastness of pigment printing can not reach the expected effect, especially the fabric with low gram weight, such as single jersey, has less penetration and adhesion, and the electrons and ions generated by surface silicon treatment and softening treatment basically repel reactive dyes and coatings, which further reduces the color fastness. After many tests and statistics, the pigment printing on knitted Jersey is due to the softness of the fabric The dry and wet rubbing of the general color of soft treatment (paste added less than 3%) is reduced by about 1 grade, and the dry and wet rubbing of the dark color (paste added more than 5%) is reduced by more than 1.5 grade. The washing fastness basically can not reach the national B grade standard. Therefore, it is suggested that the fabric should be printed before the soft treatment, printed and baked after the soft treatment, and some softeners will cause bulky damage to the fabric fiber, which will lead to fabric softening The tear strength of the fabric is reduced. The solution can adopt softer printing adhesive. If the fabric has been softened and printed, it can be baked with steam above 130 ℃ to speed up the crosslinking of the adhesive, but pay attention to the pre shrinkage calculation of the fabric. In a word, the influence of fabric softness modification on the fastness of printing (dyes, coatings) is unpredictable. As a fabric supplier, we must inform the printing unit in advance, and test the actual adhesion fastness with small samples, so as to avoid loss.
