Polyester imitation cotton fabric washing-free printing production technology
To address the issues of poor color fastness to rubbing and unsatisfactory cotton-like texture in the washing-free printing of polyester imitation cotton,a color fastness enhancer agent was added to the color paste to improve the color fastness to rubbing of the fabric.The texture of the fabric was improved by patting.The results indicated that the addition of the color fastness enhancer LM-A2 to the color paste resulted in improved color fastness to the rubbing of the washing-free printing fabric.The dark color fastness of the dry-wash printed polyester imitation cotton reached 4~5 when the amount of LM-A2 was 5%,the evaporation temperature was 180℃,and the evaporation time was 3 min.After patting and finishing,the fabric became more fluffy,thick,and soft.The production process is of significant advantages in energy conservation and consumption reduction.
