THE INFLUENCE OF DOUBLING OF TEXTILE MATERIALS THROUGH THERMOFUSING ON THEIR HIDROPHILICITY

Abstract

In the textile industry, the majority of clothing products, especially outerwear products, have some parts doubled up through thermofusing with other textile fabrics, woven or nonwoven, in order to provide some volume of shape, to fix contours, or to confer dimensional stability to the respective area . In this paper, we aim to highlight the influence on hydrofilicity of natural fiber materials of vegetable origin - flax and cotton - and of mixed natural fiber materials, by the process of doubling through thermofusing with chemicalized materials, woven or nonwoven. From laboratory measurements of the moisture absorption ability for these materials, fused or nonfused, woven or nonwoven, we conclude on the influence of these processes on the hydrofilicity of the fused ensemble and over the sanogenetic indicators that any fashion product must ensure for the wearer. Ensuring the comfort and compliance of clothing products is a priority of the producers of fabrics and textile garments. A clothing item should ensure optimum insulation, breathability, moisture absorption and air permeability to give the wearer comfort, wellbeing and safety. We focused on natural fiber materials of plant origin, since they are increasingly being used in the textile industry with beneficial influences on the state of comfort of the wearer.
