Abstract
Cotton fiber is one of the most used materials among other natural fibers in the textile and clothing industry. The purpose of pretreatment is to remove added and natural impurities from the fabric. Pretreatment of cotton fabric prior to dyeing and finishing are mainly involves a combined process consisting of desizing and scouring. In this study main focus on to find out the effect of pretreatment on physical properties of grey, desized and scoured samples of cotton fabric. After desizing and scouring, physical properties of fabric were tested using standard test methods. The results of the study indicated that the gain in fabric count in warp and weft directions, weight, thickness and elongation both in warp and weft directions of fabric were found to be non-significant, while increase in bulk was found to be significant at 5% level of significance. It was also found the decrease in tensile strength both in warp and weft directions was found to be non-significant, whereas decrease in flexural rigidity was found to be significant at 1% level of significance. The change in bending length in both warp & weft directions and moisture regain was found to be non-significant.
