Velv et fabrics are a type of pile weave structure, representing a significant percentage
of the total upholstery fabric consumption. It is not only famous upholstery fabric but
also is gaining importance in other textile end uses. The main idea of this research, depending
on producing two warp pile fabrics with two different structures (1/2V & 3/6 W) which used
in upholstered furniture application and treated with fluorocarbon finishing agent to improve
its properties to meet the functional purpose it is produced for. The results show that the warp
pile structure and finishing treatment have significantly affected the mechanical and functional
properties of produced fabrics, as tensile strength, air permeability, abrasion resistance, contact
angle and water repellent. Addition to the results showed that the functional properties were
durable even after 10 laundering cycles. |
