ABSTRACT
Sanforization is a process discovered just under a century ago and has proven its worth in the textile industry. Initially developed to solve the problems of shrinkage in finished products in cotton weaving and in the denim industry, today it is used in the finishing process in the production of fabrics of various compositions from natural materials, from mixtures of natural and artificial or synthetic materials, and even from entirely chemical materials. This publication presents the results of a study that is a continuation of previous one, where the basic physical and mechanical properties of a fabric made of threads with an entirely chemical composition were examined before and after sanforization. The new study covers the examination of certain physical chemical indicators of finished fabric with a chemical composition, i.e., fabric that has undergone finishing treatment, including the sanforization process. Indicators determining the resistance of dyes to various influences were examined, with almost all of the reported results meeting the regulatory requirements. Like any other textile test results, these could be useful to designers and technologists both in terms of choosing more effective technologi- cal and technical parameters and as a basis for working towards optimise finishing processes in weaving, in particular sanforization.ics.
