4. FINISHING
 Textile finishes are the treatments that are applied to the yarn or fabric to make them
suited for specific uses. And to improve the attractiveness and serviceability of fabric.
FINISHING Mechanical
Chemical
Mechanical finishing
 In order to impart the required functional properties to the textile material.
 Finishing done with a help of mechanical machines.
e.g. calendaring , compacting ,raising etc.
Chemical finishing
 Temporary finish : less durable , finishes washed away during washing or laundering
 durable finishes : highly durable , finishes which are not washed away during washing

 This is also known as stencil method of printing silkscreen, serigraphy.
In this frame is placed over the substrate(fabric)and with a help of
squeegee (rubber blade)
