Abstract
In this paper, a shrinkproofing treatment of wool fabrics was carried out by excilamp combined with enzyme. Shrinkproofing properties of the treated fabrics were evaluated by measuring the values of directional friction effect (DFE), felting shrinkage and weight loss. The results showed that felting shrinkage of the treated wool fabrics could achieve the machine washability standard (ISO 6330 and IWS TM 31) with low fiber damage. Surface morphology and chemical composition of the treated fabrics were observed and analyzed by SEM and FTIR-ATR. This treatment was compared with low-temperature oxidation combined with enzyme method (ARS Process).
