Abstract
In this investigation, optimization of fusing conditions to minimize the shrinkage and maximize the bond strength between a fabric and a fusible interlining before and after the dry-cleaning process has been carried out using the response surface design. To optimize the quality of fused specimens, most important fusing parameters such as fusing time and fusing temperature were selected. Woven interlining was fused on men’s shirting fabric by varying fusing time (10, 12, 14, and 16 s) and temperature (120 ℃, 130 ℃). As per the standard, fusing pressure of 1.5 bar was kept constant. After fusing, the fused fabric was characterized for different properties. Obtained results were analyzed by factorial analysis method. Findings of this will help garment manufacturers in selecting the optimum fusing conditions so that they can maintain the cost and quality of the product at the same time.
