Abstract
The
notion of hand or touch of the fabric depends on several parameters starting
with the raw material ending with the finishing techniques and treatments.
Several treatments of finishing, accomplished on fabric have an effect on its
handle. The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of two finishing
processes and softening treatment on the Denim fabric handle. The first one is
a normal finishing, the second is a fifties finishing. A trained panel
assessed the tactile sensory properties of treated denim fabrics. This panel
took part in a training program. During this program, the panellists’
performance in terms of repeatability was controlled to decrease the
variability of the provided measurements. This panel assessed 16 sensory
attributes already selected to find out the differences between the treated
samples. The results of sensory evaluation
were studied using the principal components analysis (PCA) and analyse of
variance (ANOVA). According
to the results, the change of denim fabric handle is more important in the case
of fifties finishing than the normal finishing processes. This study also shows
that the effect of softener is more legible
on case of fifties finishing and the low concentration of fabric softener did
not influenced the handle of denim fabric. This paper identifies the most
important tactile sensory properties which are influenced by industrial finishing’s
for the denim fabric. This paper represents as well the handle progressive
changes that occur on treating the denim fabric with various finishing.
