TEC 509 - Chemical Technology of Finishing Credits 3
Chemical finishes which modify fabric appearance, feel, and serviceability (to shrinkage, soiling, mildew, moths, wrinkling, fire, water, static electricity, etc.) are discussed, along with the means used to apply them. The production of special effects (permanent press, crepe, moire, etc.) is also studied.
