EFFECT OF SIZING ON WEAVABILITY OF DREF YARNS
B. K. Behera, V. K. Joshi- General Materials Science
Abstract
The optimum-size add-on for corespun Dref yarns and 100% cotton Dref yarns was studied, and was found to be approximately 15%. A rich size recipe consisting of acrylic at high add-on further improves the weavability, although it fails to bring the weaving potential to a par with that of ring- and rotor-yarns sized with normal modified starch at low add-on.
