Treatment of cotton textile with concentrated solution of alkali carried out in Mercerization process. The fabric is first immersed in a caustic solution of about 23% strength and a relatively cool temperature approx. 60-90ºF (16-32ºC). It is then fed around a series of rollers which keep it flat and smooth while controlling the time of caustic exposure.

When fabric gets in contact with caustic, reaction starts immediately & fabric started losing it dimensional stability & started to shrink in length as well as width. During contact time in impregnator & stabilizer of 30 to 60 Sec, it is necessary that fabric keeps in continuous contact with the rollers instead of being contactless in open or free air then reaction of shrinkage is much faster. Due to roller bed, there is not any chance of open or free air contact with fabric. It helps to avoid minimum shrinkage in the fabric & give better dimensional stability.The fabric is then sprayed with rinse water and washed with a neutralizing chemical before final drying.

Hot Mercerizing – This method used for Pice dyed fabric at minimum temp 40 to maximum 60 degrees with high concentration of bomen, depend on different qualities of fabrics.

Cold Mercerizing – Such method is more useful for Yarn died fabric minimum temp 18 to maximum temp 25 degrees with less concentration of bomen, depend on different qualities of fabrics.

Trusted components and system solution of LUBI carries precise control and optimized production ratio with highly efficient device of AC drive enables proper tension control and crease free passage of fabric feed to intensive impregnating zone.
