Textile Raw Material:
Raw material is a unique substance in any production oriented textile industry. It plays a vital role in continuous production and for high quality fabric.Textile raw materials are selected as per the manufacturing policy of the company i.e. whether a composite mill or only a spinning, weaving or dyeing /finishing.
Types of Textile Raw Material:
01.Fiber
02.Fabric
03.Dye stuff
04.Chemical and auxiliaries
Fiber:
Nature presents a large variety of fibers. Beside this it is possible today to produce a number of different kinds of man made fibers but only a relatively small amount of this is actually used in textile industry.
Fiber is a matter which includes flexibility, fineness and a high ratio of length to thickness . It is necessary at least length to diameter ratio is 1000 to consider a fiber.Some additional characteristics are the required for textile fibers, such as stability at high temperature, a certain minimum strength & extensibility.
Name and Source:
Cotton
Silk
Jute
Wool
Polyester
Nylon
Spandex
Flax
Acrylic
Aramid
Polyethylene
Polypropylene etc.
Dye stuff:
Dyestuff is organic or inorganic substances which can absorb light and reflect some lights to show color. Actually, the dyestuff is water soluble substances.
Criteria for a Suitable Dyestuff:
1. Cheap
2. Non-toxic
3. Compatible to other dyes and chemicals
4. High color strength
5. Better brightness
6. Better fastness
7. Good levelness on the materials
Classification of Dyestuffs:
Dyestuffs can be classified according to two ways
1. According to common parent structure
2. According to application
The following dyes are used:
Reactive dye
Disperse dye
Acid dye
Basic dye
Direct dye
Sulfur dye
Azoic dye
Vat dye
Fabric:
Fabric is a planar textile structure produces by interlacing yarns, fibers, or filaments. It may be woven, knitted and non-woven.
Name and Source:
100 % Cotton fabric
CVC fabric
PC fabric
2*2 Lycra rib fabric
Lycra single jerseyfabric
Viscose Lycra
Double lacoste
Plain Interlock
100% Polyester fabric
Grey mélange etc.
Chemical and Auxiliaries:
Dyeing auxiliaries mean a chemical or formulated chemical product which enables a processing operation in preparation, dyeing, printing or finishing to be carried out more effectively, or which is essential if a given effect is to be obtained.
Sequestering agent.
Lubricants / Anticreasant.
Pretreatment Chemicals
Levelling and Dispersing Agent.
Sewuestering, Dispersing and Levelling Agentfor Reactive dyeing.
Antifoam.
pH Control and buffer system.
Desizing Agent
Yarn Lubricant
Mercerising agent
Dyefixing agent
Optical Brightener.
Soaping Agent / Washing off Agent.

Basically fiber is the major raw materials of textile/garments products. Otherwise every step has their own raw materials depends on it's processes such as fiber is the raw material of spinning, but yarn is the raw material of fabric.
Nice and informative article. You are doing a great job. Just carry on. Also know about Raw materials used in Textile Industries .
