DETERMINING THE EFFECTS OF FABRIC STRUCTURE PARAMETERS ON SOME PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF KAKI FABRIC USING CVC 65/35 YARN

Abstract

In the structure of woven fabrics, the composition of raw materials is an important factor in determining the properties of the product. CVC khaki fabric is quite commonly used in labor protection products, to take advantage of the optimal properties of cotton and PES fibers, in which the proportion of cotton fibers is higher than that of polyester fibers. In this paper, experimental research was conducted to determine the changes in some physical properties of the fabric such as tensile strength, relative elongation, abrasion resistance, and wrinkle resistance of some domestically produced CVC 65/35 khaki fabric samples, when changing some other structural parameters of the fabric. The results showed that fabrics with higher fiber density using lower yarn counts have better tensile strength and abrasion resistance, suitable for labor protection products. As for fabrics with lower fiber density, using higher yarn counts, the fabric is softer and has better wrinkle resistance, suitable for office wear.
