Perhaps the development of world civilization is going on along with the development of textiles. Textile fibers have been developed over many hundred years and most suitable fibers have been selected for the textile industries. Fibers have traditionally been used by humans in all cultures of the world to meet their basic requirements i.e. clothing, home, and especially technical purposes. The worldwide gradual development of textile industries meets the increasing demand for textile materials. Wet process engineering (WPE) is a major and most important stream of textile industries. The final quality of fabrics, its aesthetic values mainly depends on the successful implementation of wet process treatment. Wet Process Engineering I will cover the following arena of WPE:
Preparation of grey fabric, Batching, Pre-treatment (Singeing, Desizing, Scouring, Bleaching), Dyeing (Direct dye, Acid dye, Basic dye, Vat dye, Printing (fundamentals).
