POLYESTER
v MERITS:
Low cost.
Excellent shine and drape .
Strength: twice that of cotton.
Low deformation: No sags and bends.
Excellent crease recovery property.
Formal look.
v DEMERITS:
Hydrophobic due to low moisture regain.High static charge generated resulting in poor wear comfort.
Attracts dust particles and stains.
Difficult to clean (Poor soil release).
Strong tendency to pill during abrasive wash process.
Easily blended with other man made and natural fibers.

INSISTENCE ON VALUE FOR MONEY
Consumer is the king.
Value for money concept.
Markets looking for constant change in the product mix.
The normal life cycle of cotton, which was only up to finished fabric, in the
early 1960s, is now extended to branded and specialty products.

FUNCTIONAL FINISHES
1: Encapsulated finishesThis absorbs the sweat frequently and while washing it is
cleaned and ready for the next action.

2: Smart textiles
Smart textiles are materials and structures thatare sensitive and react to environmentalconditions such as mechanical, electrical,chemical, thermal magnetic or other senses.

4: Moisture managementIt can absorb the water, sweat, etc., from outer
source and evaporates the moisture in the atmosphere.

6: Non IroningUsing strong starches on fabrics we can also
produce non- ironing fabrics.

2. Aroma Therapy Fragma series/Moisturizers/ Essential oils/ Aloe VeraAromatherapy includes blends of various
fragrances like, Musk, Pineapple, Rose, Lavender,Jasmine, Lemon, Peppermint etc., which are applied on thefabric with the help of a binder.

3. Antistatic Finish
Static electricity is created when two non-conducting surfaces, such as synthetic
textiles, rub together.

5.Flame Retardant Finish
Flame retardants are chemicals,which are added to combustible materials to renderthem more resistant to ignition. They are designedto minimize the risk of a fire starting in case of
contact with a small heat source such as cigarette,candle or an electrical fault.
