Effect of some yarn types on comfort properties of polyester fabrics for government officer uniform

Abstract

Polyester garments are less comfortable due to hydrophobic in nature. In order to improve the comfort of polyester, six different yarn types were used in this study including polyester yarn 150D/2/96F (standard), Cool quick polyester yarn (specialty yarn with + shape), micro polyester yarn 150D/2/384F, micro polyester yarn 150D/2/576F, ply twisted polyester yarn 300D/288F with 120 TPM, and ply twisted polyester yarn 300D/288F with 200 TPM. Tests of mechanical properties, abrasion resistance, air permeability, and moisture management properties were applied to the fabric produced using the same weaving and dyeing processes. Changing the weft yarn types influenced the warp and weft directional mechanical properties, air permeability, and moisture management properties.
