Lab Experiment 02: Removal of The Size (Desizing) by Pad-Batch Method

This document describes a lab experiment on desizing fabric using the pad-batch method. The objectives are to understand the desizing process and pad-batch method. The procedure involves preparing a chemical bath, padding the fabric multiple times, batching it for 12-24 hours, then rinsing and washing it. Calculations are made to determine the percentage of starch removed. Review questions address the purpose of sequestering agents, differences between desizing methods, and the impact of pickup percentage.

Removal of the size (desizing) by pad-batch method


PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
Upon the successful completion of this experiment students will be able to:
(i)
(ii)

Understand the process of desizing


Understand the pad-batch method of desizing

MACHINES/MATERIAL REQUIRED
Greigh fabric
Horizontal or vertical padders
Acetic acid

DISCUSSION
In the desizing process, size applied on the fabric prior to weaving are removed. The
process of desizing can be accomplished either by hydrolysis or by oxidation. Water
soluble size like PVA and CMC are readily desize by hot water;wetting agent are added if
required. However,starch is water insoluble and can not be readily degraded by simplehot
washed. For removal of starch numerous degrading agent or desizing agents are useds
for the removal of starch are:
1.Enzymes
2.Dilute solution of acids
3.Bacteria &
4.Oxidizing agents
Detail descript ion of the desizing process and desizing agents is given in the previous
practical.

2. Adjust the pickup % age of the padders &pad the fabric 3-5 times at room
temp:
3. Make the roll of padded fabric,
4. Put it in polyethylene bags and keep for 12-24 hrs (batching time)
5. Hot rinse at 90-100 c for 1.5-2 minutes
6. Hot wash twice at 90-95c
7. Warm wash at 60c and
8. Finally cold wash for 10 min:
9. Dry the fabric at 70c in an oven or dryer.
