mercerisation
Definition :
Treatment of cellulosic material with higher
concentrated Alkali for short period at lower
temperature.

OBJECTIVES
To improve lustre of cotton materials.
To improve strength and mechanical properties.
To improve dyeability and moisture absorbency.
To improve dimensional stability of materials.
Improving elasticity.

Action of alkali
Cotton have resistance to alkali solution.

Mild alkali like sodium carbonate have no action


on cotton.

Strong alkalis with higher concentration induce


structural and physical changes in cotton fibre.

Penetration of alkali
For small concentration of alkali , less than 5 %
no penetration.

As the concentration of alkali increases ,


penetration increase than automatically fibre
swells.

What happen to cotton


during mercerization
Swelling of the fibre takes place.
Cellulosic chain gets rearranged an become
parallel.
De-convolution.
Convolution bean shape to circular shape.

When mercerising can be


carried out ?
At grey stage.
After desizing.
After scouring.
After scouring and bleaching.

Physical changes
Improvement in strength.
Improvement in luster.
Change in cross-section from bean shape to
almost circular.
Change in longitudinal view convoluted to
cylindrical.

Chemical changes
Formation of cellulose second .

Improvement in moisture regain (more hydroxyl


group).

Improvement in due uptake.

Structural changes

conditions
Application of caustic soda solution around at a
room temperature.
A dwell period of 55 sec. of an average.
Tension at both direction.
Finally , washing-off of alkali from the treated
fabric or yarn.

What are the parameters


Concentration of NaoH .
Time of treatment.
Tension applied.
Temperature.
Impurities of NaoH.

MERCERISATION
MACHINE
Tension mercerisation. (treatment under tension / control).
Slack mercerisation . (treatment without tension /
control).
Yarn mercerisation.
Fabric mercerisation.

Fabric mersarisation machine:


Paid chain type
Paid chainless type
Paidless chainless type.

Hot mercerisation drawback


with cold mercerisation
Penetration of grey cotton become more difficult.
(high viscosity)

Swelling in only at surface . (heavy fabric)

Poor mercerisation at the core and lack of


uniformity.

Recipe
NaoH = 26 30 %
WETTING AGENT = 1 %
TEMP = 60 centigrades
TIME = 20 TO 60 sec.

Advantage of hot
mercerisation
Rapid alkali penetration.
Improved core mercerisation.
More uniform treatment.
Dwell time can be reduced from 50 sec. to 20
30 sec.

Disadvantage of hot
mercerisation
Less lustre. (lower swelling)

Higher energy consumption.

Costlier.

Liquid ammonia
mercerisation
treatment of cotton fibre with liquid ammonia
produces similar effect that of mercerisation.

It is widely accepted for sewing threads ,and


special fabric like denim, pillow material, linen
etc.

Advantage of ammonia
mercerisation
Less pollution
Higher productivity.
Jute and linen can be mercerised.
Evenness and uniformity is better.

disadvantage
Very costly equipment.
Ammonia recovery problem ,leakages will do
grate harm to the personnel working .
