2. ABSTRACT
• Fiber with advantage of cool feel, moisture absorption, air permeability etc. receives international
attention.
• Tencel, cotton, Polyester are three different types of fibers with different origin, like cotton is a
natural fiber, Tencel is a regenerated fiber, and polyester is a synthetic fiber. All these three fibers
are treated with various finished and the result is determined
• The current textile global scenario has wide scope and need in medical textiles because majority of
the investigator are concerned about infection.
• Anti microbial property, insect resistant, stain release finishes are given to the fabric in sake of
customers wellness.
• PCM finish is given to increase the comfort level of a customer.
• Anti pilling finish is given to increase the quality of the fabric. Hence the garment gets full satisfied
by the customer. Since it fulfils all their basic comfort zone.

3. OBJECTIVES
• To study about Tencel, polyester and cotton fibers and fabrics.
• To knit the fabrics by giving different loop structure and different count.
• Fabric is given some finishes like anti-static, anti-pilling and soil resistant to
Tencel, polyester and cotton fabrics.
• To test the fabrics like abrasion, shrinkage, colour fastness etc.,
• This is been analyzed with the help of statistical analyses.
• The finished fabric is been tested again.
• Garment is constructed and a subjective analyze is made

POLYESTER- Synthetic Filament
TENCEL- Regenerated cellulose

5. Cotton
• Natural cellulose fiber
• King of fibers
• Cotton is a renewable resource
• Cotton often is the first choice during hot summer months because of
its inherent breathable quality which makes it cooler to wear.
• Cotton is an inherently soft fabric
5

6. Polyester
• Synthetic Filament
• Polyester fabrics are relatively inexpensive, and easy to process
• It ranges from very soft to very firm.
• Polyester absorbs less than one percent of moisture by weight, offers
good dimensional stability under a variety of conditions
6

7. Tencel
• Regenerated cellulose fiber
• Fabrics are more absorbent than cotton, soft as silk and cooler than linen.
• The optimum moisture transport of TENCEL is unique compared to synthetic fibers.
• The fibrillar structure of the fiber supports outstanding moisture absorption due to an
optimal environment for healthy skin.

8. Knitting
• INTERLOOPING of yarns
• Knitted fabrics offer more elasticity than woven fabrics. This makes
them more flattering to the human body, as the fit can be tighter.

9. Processes Sequence
Study about polyester, cotton and tencel fibers
Knitted fabric is produced with different loop length
Fabric is dyed
Cotton and Tencel – reactive dye Polyester – disperse dye
Fabric is tested by various testings to analyse physical and chemical
properties.

26. Conclusion
• Tencel has an extremely smooth, soft surface that drapes beautifully to
flatter every figure. It also has smooth fiber surface feels soft and
supple against the skin and its incredible wicking abilities keep the
skin dry, making Tencel a great fabric for sensitive skin.
• Super fiber can hold up to a beating when both wet and dry, and is
most conveniently resistant to wrinkles. The finishes which were
applied on Tencel does show best result for insect
resistant, stain release, Anti microbial when compared to
Polyester and Cotton. Tencel has impressed by its comfort level
was determined by the survey taken.
26

27. • Cotton protects against from heat in the summer and cold in the winter
by providing thermal insulation as the cotton fabric traps air between
the fabric fibers. The finishes which were applied on Cotton shows
better result for anti microbial, Anti pilling when compared to
Polyester.
• Polyester has a easy to wear property, it is very hard to stain, it holds
its shape and does not wrinkle, it can be washed easily. It also got
good mechanical and thermal property. The finishes which were
applied on polyester does show best result for stain release when
compared to Tencel and Cotton.
27

28. FUTURE SCOPE
• Fabric can applied in woven fabric. Since Tencel has great impact among peoples
from the survey it can be blended with other fibers and can be used.
• Tencel yarn can be woven and used for medical purposes and also home furnishing
purposes which gives a good effect and feel to wear the garments.
• Polyester has high durability, but lack in comfort, so when it blends with cotton or
Tencel polyester can reach customers satisfaction.
• Cotton yarn is the same process to which it can be blended with all other types
of yarn in the industrial purposes and also in home furnishing. It can be used in all
areas even in medicine field. Since cotton gives a comfort to wearer it can blend with
any fibers. Cotton yarn is blended with Tencel and it is used for medical, summer
collection and home furnishing purpose.
