Abstract

The purpose of this research is to observe the reason behind the damage of the elastic fibers of woven garments while manufacturing and to find out their remedies. Different types of elastic spandex woven garments were used in this research of different manufacturing stages. The reasons of the damages of the spandex woven garments were identified and their remedies were conversed. Spandex woven garments were damaged due to sewing and all other operations involved from cutting to finishing at factories. The content of the spandex fibers were identified using FTIR spectroscopy in accordance with the test method provided by AATCC 20A. Infrared radiation could show the IR spectral scan since IR radiation can pass through the fabric. This research was practiced based and the findings could be beneficial to the personnel involved in textile industries and for the manufacture of elastic woven garments.
