Pretreatment:
Pretreatment is a heart of processing of textile.
In Pretreatment, all these impurities are
removed and fabric is brought to a stage where
it is more absorbent and white and can be
easily processed further.
The process which is done to make the textile
materials suitable for dyeing and printing. Such
as singeing, desizing, scouring, bleaching etc.
Flow chart of pre treatment of
cotton fabric:
All the processes of this stream are carried out in
an aqueous state or aqueous medium. The
main processes of this section include :
• singeing
• Desizing
• Scouring
• Bleaching
• Mercerizing
Singeing:
• Enzymatic Desizing.
• Oxidative Desizing.
• Acid Steeping/Desizing.
• Rot Steein.
• Desizing with hot caustic soda treatment.
• Hot washing with detergent.
• Removable of water soluble sizes.
• Atmospheric Plasma Desizing.
Enzymatic Desizing:
• Advantages:
• No usage of aggressive chemicals: No
damage to the fiber.
• Wide variety of application processes.
• Disadvantages:
• Lower additional cleaning effect towards other
impurities.
• No effect on certain starches (e.g. tapioca
starch).
Oxidative Desizing:
• Ecolase LT
• Finozyme -DX
• Finocon –FBOL
• Enzme GT

Scouring:
• Scouring is the process by which all natural and
additive impurities such as oil, wax, fat, hand
dust etc. are removed to produce hydrophilic
and clean textile material. It is one of the vital
processes of wet processing.
Objects of Scouring:
Batch process.
Semi – continuous process.
Discontinuous process.
Modern process.
• Scouring methods of Cotton:
Generally, there are two principle methods of
cotton scouring.
Discontinuous (Kier boiling process or winch
dyeing machine)
Continuous (Scouring in J or L box)
• Main parts of kier boiler:
Cylindrical vessel
Mixing tank(liquor prepared according to recipe)
Multi tubular heat exchanger(heating the liquor)
Perforated false bottom
Circular tube(spray liquor on fabric)
• Process: The working process in J-box can be divided
into four units. There are
Impragnaion box
Pre – heater.
J – box.
Washing unit.
Good scouring
Uniform scouring
Uneven scouring
