Sizing Chemicals & Its Properties Play an Important Role during Weaving! Here’s why.
Sizing ingredients and their characteristics, the sizing operation, and the yarn parameters play a deciding role in determining the performance of warp yarns during weaving.
Hence sizing is the heart of weaving. The weaving industry today is shifting away from simply higher production speeds toward optimization of the weaving process, dependability, and fabric quality.
This shift has put more pressure on the sizing area to provide materials that not only give strong loom performance but also better fabric quality.
Properties Good Sizing Materials
1. Film forming Sizing material must form a smooth and uniform coating on the yarn surface, which will not only embed the protruding fibres on the yarn surface, but also protect the yarn from repeated surface abrasions during weaving. The size film should have strong adhesion to yarn surface to prevent dropping of size particle on loom during splitting and weaving.
2. Adhesion Sizing material should have good adhesion power to keep the yarn structure intact by preventing inter fiber slippage and properly binding the surface film of sizing chemicals with yarn surface and keeping same intact during weaving.
