Satinizing

Satinizing
SATINIZING
A process of imparting a silk-like gloss to cotton fabrics by impregnating the fabric with a salt solution of a crystallisable salt which does not injure the fibres. Salts such as sodium sulphate, chloride of potassium, sodium acetate may be used. After treating, the cloth is repeatedly passed through a calender heated from 212 deg. to 390 deg. F. There is a deposition of the salt in minute crystals which settle in the fibre giving a reflecting surface. The silky-gloss is rendered permanent.
