Improvement of fiber finishing of PES-containing blends

Resumo

Textile auxiliaries of different chemical types were tried in fiber finishing application for polyester, woolen, and blended textile materials. All the tested chemicals were produced in the Russian Federation. Investigation covered the influence of the chemicals on the antistatic, frictional, and deformational properties and mechanical strength of the textile materials. The most effective products were selected, whose application in the fiber finishing process makes it possible to improve the physicochemical properties of textile materials: decrease the fiber‒metal dynamic friction coefficient by 15‒20%, increase the tensile strength of the fibers by 8‒10%, and increase the electric conductivity of the textile material.
