Process of Medical Textiles: Revealing the Changes of Fabric

In the world of textiles, the transformation of fabrics doesn’t just happen on the loom – textile finishing also plays a vital role. Today, we’re exploring the amazing technologies that give fabrics a new lease on life.

Pre-Shrinking: The Magic of Fabric Shrinkage

Pre-shrinkage technology is like “shrinkage” magic for fabrics, it controls the shrinkage of the fabric to ensure dimensional stability of the finished product. It’s like putting a “pre-adjusted” coat on the fabric so that it stays the same size after washing.

Stenter: the Fabric “Shaping” Specialist

The stenter is the expert in “shaping” fabrics, stabilizing them by gradually stretching them to a specified size and drying them. This not only gives the fabric a cleaner look but also improves its durability.

Starching: Fabric “Hard” Secret

Starching is the process of dipping and drying the fabric in a slurry to give it a thick and stiff effect. This is like a “foundation” for the fabric, giving it a more refined and shapely look.

Heat-Setting: the “Stabilizer” of Synthetic Fibers

The heat-setting process is a “stabilizer” for synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester, where heat is used to keep the fibers in a relatively stable form. It’s like giving the fabric a “hot yoga” session to keep it in optimal condition in all environments.

Whitening: the Secret to Whitening Fabrics

The whitening process utilizes the principle of complementary colors of light to increase the whiteness of textiles. It is like giving the fabric a “whitening light”, making it look brighter and cleaner.

Polishing, Electroluminescence and Embossing

Polishing, electroluminescence and texturing processes enhance the luster of fabrics by smoothing or rolling out patterns. This is like applying a “high gloss” to the fabric to make it shine in the light.

Fleece, Brushed: the “Warm” Embrace of Fabrics

Fleece grinding is a process that improves the warmth and feel of the fabric by grinding out a short, dense layer of fleece. It’s like putting a “warm sweater” on the fabric, so it can keep you warm in cold weather.

Pilling: the Fabric's “Fluff” Maker

Pilling is a process that creates a layer of pile on the surface of a fabric and is used mainly on worsted wool, acrylic, and cotton fabrics. It’s like giving the fabric a “hair transplant” to make it look fuller and softer.

Shearing: the “Grooming” Master of Fabrics

The shearing process removes unwanted fuzz from the surface of the fabric, leaving the weave pattern clear and the surface smooth. This is like giving the fabric a “face-lift”, making it look cleaner and more textured.

Softness: the “Gentle” Touch of Fabrics

The softening process mechanically or chemically softens and smoothes the fabric. This is like a “spa” for the fabric, making it feel more comfortable and softer.

The medical textile finishing process is the magic of fabric transformation, giving fabrics a new life through complex processes. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of environmental protection consciousness, the future finishing process will pay more attention to the balance between functionality and environmental protection, bringing more comfort and convenience to our lives.
