| Abstract: | The soiling and soil removal behaviors of crosslinked cotton poplin have been studied using different crosslinking agents at different concentrations. The soils included in the study were oily soils, particulate soils and their mixtures. The treated samples were subjected to repeated washing and soiling - washing cycles and it was found that at lower concentrations (<12 %), the crosslinking agent has only a marginal effect on the soiling behaviour of treated fabric, but at concentrations > 12 %, it causes a marked increase in the retention of different types of soils. The retention of particulate soils on synthetic sebum treated fabric is inversely proportional to the retention of synthetic sebum. This has been confirmed by determining the retention of individual sebum components on the fabric soiled first with the individual components of the synthetic sebum followed by soiling with Particulate soils. The retention of individual sebum components determined gravimetrically is in the order: glyceryl tristearate > stearic acid > octadecane > octadecyl alcohol; the retention of particulate soils is minimum in the case of glyceryl tristearate and maximum in the case of octadecyl alcohol. An explanation has been given for this interesting observation. The effects of different types of softeners in the crosslinking bath and the extent of soil redeposition in the washing bath were studied. Softeners, in general, increase the retention of soil on the crosslinked fabric. Silicone emulsion treated crosslinked fabric shows the maximum soil retention. Soil redeposition increases with increase in crosslinker add-on. With carboxymethyl cellulose present in the washing bath, soil redeposition is significantly lower. |
