Evaluation of sizing parameters on cotton using the modified sizing agent

For producing a woven fabric, sizing is one of the important steps to increase the efficiency of weaving productions. Various sizing agents such as starch, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), wax, emulsifier, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are frequently used in the textile industry. The aim of this study is to evaluate the sizing parameters of cotton using the modified sizing agent and the frequently used sizing agent in the industry. For modification of sizing agent, various sizing chemicals are mixed together by our own recipes. Then modified sizing agents are applied to the cotton fabric along with frequently used sizing recipes. After sizing, all treated yarn and fabrics are subjected to evaluate the performance of sizing parameters and the modified sizing agent…
