Textile humidification
Product weight Textile weights are standardised at
60%rH and 20°C (68°F). Maintaininghumidity will ensure low product weightsdon’t lead to lowered profits.
Textile Humidification - 19165 Why humidify in the textile industry?
Dust Static electrification Humidification reduces fly and micro-
dust, providing a healthier and more
comfortable working environment. Cooling Dry materials create morefriction and are more prone to
static electrification. Higherhumidity reduces staticproblems and makes materials more
manageable increasing machine
speeds. A cold-water spray humidification systemcan provide an evaporative cooling effectof up to 12°C (54°F). This makes the
environment more comfortable to work inand improves staff productivity. Humidity control in the textile industryis essential in order to maintain product
quality and reduce imperfections. A dryenvironment in textile manufacturingand storage facilities can have many
serious implications: Yarn strength Yarns with low moisture content areweaker, thinner, more brittle and lesselastic. Regain Dry air causes lower regain and this
contributes to poor quality and lowerproductivity. By humidifying thematerials are kept at optimum regain
and are less prone to breakage,heating and friction effects,they handle better, have fewer
imperfections, are more uniformand feel better. Fabric shrinkage Low humidity causes fabric shrinkage.
Maintained humidity permits greaterreliability in cutting and fitting duringgarment creation and contributes to the
maintenance of specification wheredimensions are important, such as in thecarpetindustry.
