Material: Cotton

Cotton covers 2,5 % of the cultivated land but uses 16 % of the world’s pesticides/insecticides

Cotton picking in 1890

Fabric: yarn

• Past: 100 % ring spun cotton yarn • Today: ring spun yarn replaced by open

end yarn

Neps in rotor yarn tend to be spun into the solid yarn body less structured fabric

Fabric: weave

• Yarn is processed into a twill fabric (2/1 or 3/1)

Indigo dyeing process • Rope dyeing or beam dyeing

– continuous process – Yarn is ring-dyed

• Indigo is not soluble in water – Solubilize by adding sodium hydrosulfite,

thiourea dioxide or a commercial reducing agent in alkaline conditions, pH 9-11 (NaOH) (reduction): yellow-greenish solution (vat)

Yarn • Use multitwist or multicount yarn in the

warp – Multitwist: speeding up of the spinning

machine over a certain distance thicker and thinner areas in the yarn

– Multicount: giving more or less feed to the spinning machine

• Crossedge effect by using multitwist or multicount in warp and weft

Yarn • No longer 100 % cotton, but blends with

hemp, flax, polyester, polyamide, lycra • 100 % bamboo (viscose) • Bio cotton

– in 2009 production raise by 20 % – 0,76% of the entire cotton production is

‘organic’

Weave • Variations in type of twill

– Z or S direction, opposite to or concurrent with the twist direction

– Different angle

• Different weave 12

Dyeing • Color denim

– Sulphur dyes (mostly black, but also grey, green, brown, red, …)

• Sulphur bottom in black or grey before indigo dyeing process – Colour remains dark after washing

• Sulphur top with black, red (purple shine), yellow (green shine)

13

Dyeing • “sandwich dye”: sulphur bottom – indigo –

sulphur top • Combinations NEVER wet on wet • Use coloured weft

– reactive dyed weft must not be bleached with NaOCl (javel)

Coating

• Mostly PU coating • Protects the colour • Pleasant hand • Shiny effect

Desizing

17

- Chemical degradation of starch and its derivatives into water soluble products.

This degradation can by obtained by: - hydrolysis (enzymes) - oxidation

- By washing out after swelling of water soluble sizes

• Avoid uneven bleaching effect • Avoid stripiness

Page 18: Fashionable Destruction, Responsable? - WordPress.com...Indigo dyeing process • Rope dyeing or beam dyeing – continuous process – Yarn is ring-dyed • Indigo is not soluble

Enzyme and/or stone wash

• Gives the trousers a worn look • Improves the hand

– More soft and supple • With or without stones

– Pumice or perlite – Cellulases (granules or liquid)

18

Page 19: Fashionable Destruction, Responsable? - WordPress.com...Indigo dyeing process • Rope dyeing or beam dyeing – continuous process – Yarn is ring-dyed • Indigo is not soluble

Stone wash • 1 kg stones for 1 kg fabric (1 trouser = +/- 750 g) + soap • Effect of stones more visible on the seams • 15 – 90 min • Polluting (several rinces to removes grit) • Labour intensive (manual removing of stones from pockets) • Special washing machines (past: octagonal drums, present

drums with ribs) • rpm is important (not to fast, variable with drum diameter) • Trousers must roll, not fall

Biopolishing • Removes fluff • Environmentally friendly (less water) • Less damage to trousers and equipment • Several types:

– Neutral (pH 6 – 8) – Acid (pH 4 – 6) – Hybride (blend)

• Action is stopped by changing process conditions (pH, T)

Bleaching • Provides a washed and bleached look • Fashionable shades of blue • Mostly chlorine bleach, also peroxide,

permanganate, glucose and ozon • No chlorine bleach for stretch-jeans,

unless T400 (elastomers are sensitive to chlorine and alkali) or reactive dyeings

Dyeing

• Overdye with a small amount of dyestuff to change the shade, mostly direct dyestuffs

• Garment dyeing with direct, reactive or sulphur dyes or pigments

Softening

• Improve the hand – Fatty acids – Silicones (not often used in indigo dyeing) – Risk of yellowing (gasfading) special types

of softeners

Special effects • Chemical

– Spray, sponge, immerse, pour – 3D-effects (dependent on length (knee-

height) and size) • Mechanical

– Local abrasion (abrasive paper or brushes, manual or mechanical) (dependent on length and size)

– Laser

3D-effects • Spray or dip garment with resine (PVAc), wash

resistant extender (DHEU) and acid (sometimes local spray, but dipping is better to obtain a uniform effect) (formaldehyde !)

• Spin-dry • Fix on manikin with flexible legs • Dry at 100 °C (tunnel, caroussel or IR). As long

as the fabric is not dry there is a risk for damaging or false creases while polymerising)

• Polymerise at 160 °C 31
