Which finishing process involves applying a thin layer of resin to the fabric surface to enhance its stiffness and crease resistance?

  1. Calendering

  2. Mercerization

  3. Laminating

  4. Sanforizing


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Laminating is a textile finishing process where a thin layer of resin or adhesive is applied to the fabric surface, creating a composite material with enhanced stiffness and crease resistance.

What is the purpose of singeing in textile finishing?

  1. Removing surface fibers

  2. Adding luster to the fabric

  3. Improving fabric strength

  4. Increasing fabric absorbency


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Singeing is a textile finishing process that involves passing the fabric over a heated metal plate or burner to remove surface fibers, fuzz, and impurities, resulting in a smoother and cleaner fabric surface.

Which finishing process is commonly used to improve the colorfastness and durability of dyed fabrics?

  1. Scouring

  2. Bleaching

  3. Dyeing

  4. Resin finishing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Resin finishing is a textile finishing process that involves applying a resin or chemical treatment to the fabric to improve its colorfastness, durability, and resistance to wear and tear.

What is the primary objective of the scouring process in textile finishing?

  1. Removing impurities and oils

  2. Adding color to the fabric

  3. Improving fabric handle

  4. Increasing fabric weight


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Scouring is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with alkaline solutions to remove impurities, oils, and natural waxes from the fiber surface, resulting in improved absorbency and dyeability.

Which finishing process is commonly used to create a permanent crease or pleat in fabrics?

  1. Calendering

  2. Sanforizing

  3. Mercerization

  4. Embossing


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sanforizing is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with a combination of heat, moisture, and mechanical action to stabilize the fabric dimensions and create a permanent crease or pleat.

What is the purpose of the tentering process in textile finishing?

  1. Stretching the fabric to its desired width

  2. Removing wrinkles and creases

  3. Applying a chemical treatment

  4. Improving fabric drape


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tentering is a textile finishing process that involves stretching the fabric to its desired width and securing it in place with tenter hooks, ensuring uniform fabric dimensions and preventing distortion.

Which finishing process involves treating the fabric with a chemical solution to improve its resistance to water and stains?

  1. Scouring

  2. Bleaching

  3. Dyeing

  4. Water-repellent finishing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Water-repellent finishing is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with a chemical solution to create a hydrophobic surface, making it resistant to water and stains.

What is the primary objective of the bleaching process in textile finishing?

  1. Removing impurities and oils

  2. Whitening the fabric

  3. Improving fabric strength

  4. Increasing fabric absorbency


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bleaching is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with chemical agents to remove natural pigments and impurities, resulting in a whiter and brighter appearance.

Which finishing process is commonly used to create a soft and luxurious hand feel in fabrics?

  1. Calendering

  2. Sanforizing

  3. Mercerization

  4. Softening


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Softening is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with chemical agents or mechanical action to improve its softness, drape, and handle.

What is the purpose of the dyeing process in textile finishing?

  1. Removing impurities and oils

  2. Adding color to the fabric

  3. Improving fabric strength

  4. Increasing fabric absorbency


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Dyeing is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with dyes or pigments to impart color and create various patterns and designs.

Which finishing process involves treating the fabric with a chemical solution to improve its resistance to fire and heat?

  1. Scouring

  2. Bleaching

  3. Dyeing

  4. Flame-retardant finishing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Flame-retardant finishing is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with chemical solutions or coatings to enhance its resistance to fire and heat, reducing the risk of ignition and spread of flames.

What is the primary objective of the calendering process in textile finishing?

  1. Removing impurities and oils

  2. Adding luster to the fabric

  3. Improving fabric strength

  4. Increasing fabric absorbency


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Calendering is a textile finishing process that involves passing the fabric between heated rollers under pressure to impart a smooth, glossy, and lustrous appearance to the fabric surface.

Which finishing process is commonly used to create a raised pattern or texture on the fabric surface?

  1. Calendering

  2. Sanforizing

  3. Mercerization

  4. Embossing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Embossing is a textile finishing process that involves passing the fabric between engraved rollers under pressure to create a raised pattern or texture on the fabric surface.

What is the purpose of the mercerization process in textile finishing?

  1. Removing impurities and oils

  2. Adding luster to the fabric

  3. Improving fabric strength

  4. Increasing fabric absorbency


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Mercerization is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with a concentrated sodium hydroxide solution to improve its strength, luster, and dye receptivity.

Which finishing process is commonly used to create a permanent wrinkle-free finish in fabrics?

  1. Calendering

  2. Sanforizing

  3. Mercerization

  4. Permanent press finishing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Permanent press finishing is a textile finishing process that involves treating the fabric with chemical resins and heat to create a permanent wrinkle-free finish, reducing the need for ironing.
