Effect of Desizing Treatment on the Bagging Behavior of Denim Fabrics

Abstract

This research aims to study the impact of desizing treatment on the bagging behavior of denim garments. Therefore, six denim fabrics with the same weaves and different characteristics were desized under different conditions. Then, the bagging behavior properties of the treated and untreated denim fabric were analyzed and investigated. Thanks to analysis of variance and the main effects plots, the influencing factors were found. The obtained results showed that the most important factors are the characteristics of the samples like the percentage of elastane and polyester fibers, and weight. In addition, it can be concluded that the concentration of desizing agents affects widely the bagging fatigue percentage.
