Abstract
Resistance to pilling is one aspect of quality that controls the appearance of the fabrics. Different method has been used for overcoming the pilling problem of fabrics. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cellusoft enzyme treatment on the pilling performance of fabrics. For this purpose, different sequence of enzyme application in dyeing was conducted. Two commercial reactive dyes with different chemical structures were used. The pilling resistance of fabrics was assessed using Martindale Wear and Abrasion Tester apparatus, according to ASTM D4970 test method. The number and area of pills on the surface of fabrics were measured using image analysis. The results revealed that the sequence of dyeing and enzyme treatments affect the pilling properties of fabrics.
