Abstract:

Cotton fiber contains natural impurities on its’ surface. To remove those impurities, cotton is treated with several types of bleaching agents based on industrial practice. The study investigated pre-post behaviors of single jersey knit after the bleaching treatments. Two types of bleaching chemicals were used to perform the study: such as (a) reductive, and (b) oxidative bleaching agents. The specimens were subjected to weight loss, absorption, color measurement, and bursting strength tests at the pre-post stages of the bleaching. Results from the statistical analysis revealed that the bleaching treatments significantly impacted on the behaviors of cotton knits. The findings also disclosed that hydrogen peroxide bleaching in the alkaline medium had the superior bleaching performance in cotton fabrics.
