Soft and Supple handle is one of those efficient tools which had done
wonders in elaborating the definitions of value added requirements for
fabric. Therefore Raising involves lifting up of fibres to a considerable
height so that there may be no disturbance in fabric construction.
Machine required for this purpose involves fabric movement over a
central drum mounted with series of pile and counter pile rollers having
their movement in such a fashion that each fibres in lifted in a controlled
manner. This finishing work is used to create different feel & a velvety
material surface on fabrics & knitwear by loosening a large number of
individual fibres from the fabric & subsequent rising & napping in order to
crest a dense raised fabric/surface.

consecutively roller placed vertically in such a manner that considerable amount of tension is provided to the fabric.
Rollers over which fabric is placed is incorporated with steam which results in improving lustre of fabric after
calendaring
2.2.2. Crush Finish
This is todays most accepted form of finish by young generation especially in case of ladies wear like tops,
dupattas and shirts. This finish can be obtained by incorporating high twisted yarn during weaving. The finish can
also be obtained in cotton blends, where POY (partially oriented yarn) is used along with cotton.
2.2.3. Embossing
This type of finishing is only demanded for designer wear. It could be designed with the help of two rollers out of
which one roller being male having non designed part carved & other being female made up of either cotton or paper.
During the course of passing fabric pressure which is applied by the male roller over female leads in engraving of
the design. Application of design becomes stronger with sufficient amount of heat, which results in exquisite results
on the fabric & contributes in enhancing value of the fabric.
2.2.4. Pinching
Machine which is used for pinching involves a die which can be simplified into a steel streaked model to press out
stress & is able to change streaks very rapidly.
By running this steel streaked model and altering various functions of the computer, variety types of streaks can be
ignored. With the help of these types of machines designer streaks can be performed easily on synthetic fibres
clothing apart from that it also used in tailored pattern in scarves, women clothing etc.
2.2.5. Pleating
This type of finish can be applied to procure pleating on to the fabric with the help of knives and rollers various
pleating effects could be derived by altering the types of knives and rollers. Apart from types of pleat, sequences,
extent of different pleats and length of group and space pleats could be computer designed to get unlimited pleat
variation.
Here the finish mainly involves creation of very varied shapes & arrangements of folds on textiles using various
machines. The term pleat comes from the French, and is used to describe material pressed into narrow folds.
Various types of pleating machines fare involved.
Knife, squeezing & group pleating machine for the generation of wide range of patterns (less than 1mm)
Crystal pleating machines for the generation of vertical folds. (1-5mm fold height)
Accordion pleating machine for upstanding folds. (5-50mm)
2.3. Chemical Finishes
2.3.1. Snocool Finish
When temperature rises, we tend to sweat. This is a natural reaction of our body to maintain the temperature around
97 0f. The sweat when evaporates, takes along with it heat equivalent to heat of evaporation of water, thereby
maintaining the temperature of the body. The snocool finish uses the moisture management route. This finish
absorbs & dissipates sweat evenly throughout & thus gives a cool feeling effect.
Recipe: Snocool SRB Liquid- 3 to 10gpl, Pad the material at 70 % expression - dry cure at 180 0c for 30-45 sec.
2.3.2. U/V Protective Finish
Ultra violet light is usually defined as elctromagnetic radiation of wavelength between 4 & 400 nm.athe atmosphere
absorbs most of the harmful radiations , however, still part of these radiations reach earths surface.u/v absorbers
are used to protect the skin from these u/v radiations.

Recipe: Fabshield 50 plus 3.0 5.0% (owf) applied by exhaust method UPF rating observed for this product is 50
plus to 500 plus.
2.3.3. Micro Encapsulation Finishes
Definition of Microcapsule; in simple terms, Quest defines a capsule as a miniature container that protects its
contents from evaporation, oxidation and contamination until its release is triggered by gentle rubbing or shaking.
During encapsulation, tiny droplets of benefit-laden products such as moisturizers, fragrances, deodorizers,
vitamins, or repellents are wrapped with a protective coating to form a capsule.

Final treatment: removal of excess flocks by bruising with brush rollers together with a mechanical suction
unit.
According to the present state-of-the art, the following methods are used for flocking. Mechanical, Pneumatic,
Electrostatic, Combination of mechanical / electrostatic, and Combination of pneumatic / electrostatic
2.4.2. Lisa Finish
This is a mechanical Finish, which involves the combination of damping, & Pitch Finishes. This Finish is widely give
to suitings, shirtings.in this finish the fabric is first moistened by damping machine then passed over the soft nylon
bristles lisa rollers and finally it is passed over the emery rollers. The effect which obtained is completely different
than the normal peach finish.
2.4.3. Nano Finishes
This technology inculcates the application of nano-sized particles of various chemicals in the finishing process of
textiles. For instance, Silver fresh', antibacterial, deodorant material based on incorporation of silver particles.
This nanotech application of water-and-oil repellent finishing is
effective for use in natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool and silk.
Unsurpassed performance in durability and water and oil repellency
may be expected with natural fibres. Nano-Pel cotton withstands 50
home launderings, with functionality levels well-maintained for water
and oil repellency even after 20 washes.
