All the health problems can be solved by variety of method and use of appropriate protective clothing is one of effective method to prevent the workers from being exposed to health problem. To achieve the objectives of he study, it was inducted in two phases. In phase 1 to develop protective clothing for workers of textile industry and to assess their suitability and acceptability Delhi cloth Mill of Hisar and Bhiwani textile mill of Bhiwani were selected. Hundred respondents from different section of textile industry were selected to gather information regarding health and clothing related problems. In second phase protective clothing were designed. The sketched designs were evaluated by Judges and two designs of each article were selected for construction. Protective clothing/accessories selected were: Beak shape mask, cap mask, hood masks, scarf mask, shirt (Male) coverall for male, coverall for female, waist level apron, foot cover and foot cover with pajama. The selected articles were stitched and each article was given to five respondents for three trials. After three trial, suitability and acceptability was assessed. The result highlighted that scarf mask, hood mask for female and cap mask, hood mask for male was found suitable as these gave protection against fiber dust stick on head, neck and inhalation of fiber dust particles. But acceptability of scarf mask for female and cap mask for male was highly acceptable as compared to hood mask because of excessive heat in the industry and with the use of hood mask identification of the workers is difficult. Coverall with Chinese collar, pockets and elastic at wrist level in sleeves was found to be highly suitable and acceptable as compared to waist level apron, while male shirt with Chinese collar, elasticized cuff, pockets in front were found highly suitable and better than coverall. In case of pajama with foot cover and knee length foot cover, knee length foot cover was fond to be highly suitable and acceptable as compared to pajama with foot cover.ThesisItem Open Access Improvement of colour fastness of tie-dyed cotton(CCSHAU, 2010) Nagpal, Aditi; Rose, Neelam M.The present study was conducted for the improvement of colour fastness of tie-dyed cotton. Three direct dyes i.e red, yellow and blue (primary colours) commonly available in the local market were selected for dyeing cotton i.e light, medium and heavy weight fabric. Standardization of dyeing variable viz. dye concentration, dyeing temperature, dyeing time, dyeing pH and different auxiliaries concentrations were optimized on the basis of percent dye absorption and visual appearance. For improvement of colour fastness properties of cotton fabric dyed with direct dyes, locally available five treatment agents were selected for each dye. Treatment agents and their concentration along with treatment stage were optimized on the basis of their fastness grades. Tie-dyed samples treated with each treatment agent were also evaluated for their colour fastness properties regarding washing and sunlight. It is summarized that 6, 7, and 8 percent was the optimum dye concentration for light, medium and heavy weight fabric, respectively. The optimum dyeing temperature was 1000C, optimum dyeing time was 60 minutes and optimum dyeing pH was 8 for all the three selected dyes viz. red, yellow and blue. 2 percent concentration of sodium carbonate and 20 percent concentration of sodium chloride were used for all the three selected dyes as it gave maximum dye absorption. Acid, alum, dye fixer, mustard oil and vinegar were used as treatment agents for all the three selected dyes. In most of the cases, post-treatment gave best results. Fastness properties increased after using treatment agents in all the cases.ThesisItem Open Access Enzymatic scouring of cotton yarn(CCSHAU, 2010) Verma, Richa; Khambra, KrishnaThe present study was conducted to study the enzymatic scouring of cotton yarn. Scouring was done with palkoscour APCL bioscouring enzyme. To achieve better result for enzymatic scouring standard conditions was determined i.e. 0.5% dosage at 550C temperature with 7 pH for 40 minutes. After scouring physical properties of unscoured and scoured yarn regarding linear density, lea strength, count strength product, yarn tensile strength, yarn elongation, yarn evenness, twist per inch, crimp rigidity and yarn hairiness were also studied. Next step was done to treated unscoured and scoured cotton yarn with four dyes viz. direct dye, reactive dye, basic dye and azoic dye. After the process of dyeing again physical properties of unscoured dyed and scoured dyed yarn were measured. Effect of dye color strength on unscoured and scoured yarn was studied through CIE LAB values. It is thus summarized that with the help of determined conditions enzymatic scouring was done. After enzymatic scouring physical property of grey yarn changed as compared to scoured yarn. Linear density of treated yarn and yarn tensile strength decreased after scouring. Yarn evenness and yarn hairiness was improved. after process of dyeing hairiness and evenness of dyed yarn improved but strength decreased more. CIE LAB values indicated that direct and reactive dye scoured yarn was darker, redder and brighter. Basic dye scoured yarn was darker duller than unscoured yarn azoic dye scoured yarn was lighter, redder, yellowier and brighter. Color strength of azoic dye was higher than direct reactive and basic dye.ThesisItem Open Access Development of educational package on protective clothing(CCSHAU, 2011) Toor, Poonam Preet; Punia, ParveenTextile industry plays a pivotal position in the economy of our country but its role in pollution and threats to its workers, can’t be denied.

Fire has equally destructive power also and can be responsible for the loss of property and human life. The safety of human beings has become an issue of concern with rapid industrialization. Therefore, a growing segment of the industrial textile, industry has been involved in a number of new developments in fibers, fabrics and protective clothing. Even after many decades of research and studies, the production of flame retardants textiles is still a challenging subject. To achieve the objectives of the study, white cotton fabric, flame retardant chemical named Zirconium dioxide and two binders named SLN and PVA were selected on review basis. Recipe was made on the weight of the fabric for making suspension of FR finish. To apply flame retardant finish, pad-dry-cure method on padding mangle was used with 1 dip 1 nip, 2 dip 1 nip and 3 dip 1 nip systems. Launderings were done 5, 10 and 15 times of controlled as well as of finished fabrics. Burning test, flammability tests and physical properties were assessed of controlled, treated and washed fabrics. Results interpret that 15 per cent FR finish and 5 per cent PVA binder was found to be the better concentration and binder after treatments/dips as well as after 15 wash cycles as compared to another concentration, binder and treatments/dips but combination of both binders (2.5% each) gave best results with 15 per cent concentration of finish as compared to the other concentration of finish.ThesisItem Open Access Creation of College Bags for Girls(CCSHAU, 2011) S.Jeet Singh, SarojThe study was conducted for creation of college bags for girls.

To achieve the objectives, list of thirteen products requiring insulation characteristics and their design were prepared. Two designs of top seven products selected for development were: curd vessel cover, chapatti box cover, lunch box cover, water bottle cover, baby feeder cover, baby quilt and assan as per experts preference as a result fourteen products were planned for development. Two production techniques i.e. wool as tufting and blanket fabric as an interlining was suggested for covers where as direct blanket fabric was suggested for assan. Paper patterns were developed for the products as per their design and the size of the container. To finalize the production technique water bottle cover, lunch box cover and baby feeder cover were selected. All the three covers were made by both the suggested production techniques. Insulation characteristics of developed covers were analyzed and compared with that of ready- made covers procured from the market. Selfmade covers provided better insulation characteristics than ready- made covers in both the condition i.e. higher to low and lower to high temperature. It was further analyzed that the products made by tufting technique had better insulation properties and were light in weight than products made by interlining of blanket fabric. Hence tufting technique was used to prepare the planned covers and baby quilt where as blanket fabric was used for assan. Blend of wool and poly fibres (50:50) were recommended for tufting of baby quilt due to its highest thermal properties. The developed products were shown to the 60 selected respondents assess their acceptability. Developed products accepted in descending rank order were: lunch box cover, curd vessel cover, water bottle cover, chapatti box cover, baby quilt,, baby feeder cover and assan. Important reasons found for their acceptance was that ‘ it will be easy to carry lunch box or any bottle used for carrying liquid to work place or while travelling’, ‘the products will help to maintain the temperature of food items for longer period’, ‘the shape and size of the product can be changed according to the container’ and so on. The paper patterns were graded to three sizes for mass application.ThesisItem Open Access Designing of footwear’s top using underutilized textile material(CCSHAU, 2011) Priyetta; Punia, ParveenThe present study was undertaken in Hisar district of Haryana state.
