Studies in Properties of PET 3GT/Viscose Blended Fabric
Abstract
Polyester 3GT polymer provides a unique combination of benefits to a wide variety of applications. This advanced, value added polymer offers a major new mix-enrichment, with the potential to grow into a significant market over the next ten to twenty years. In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the possibility of producing fabric made from PET 3GT/viscose which can be a potential substitute for PET/viscose. It is observed that PET 3GT/viscose can be heat set at a low temperature. Most of mechanical properties of PET 3GT/viscose fabric are comparable with those of PET/viscose blended fabrics. PET 3GT/viscose blended fabric has a better hand value than PET/viscose blended fabrics.
