Improving the Breaking and Tear Strength of Cotton Fabric Using BTCA and CA Crosslinkers

Aslıhan Koruyucu

Abstract

Polycarboxylic acids are used as crosslinking agents with sodium hypophosphite which do not contain formaldehyde. In this study, breaking strength, breaking elongation and tear strength of cotton(twill weave)fabric samples were determined by using twill fabrics, six different coating recipes, produced with 100% cotton yarns. The results of breaking strength, breaking elongation and tear strength testing were compared according to the fabric structure, coating recipes and crosslinker structure statistically. A significant increase in tensile strength was observed after coating with 1g Cu2O|
