(dimethyloldihydroxy ethylene urea) based resin was used to impart durability of
fluorocarbon finish, and also to impart anti-crease property (Audenuert, 1999). The
recipe followed for anti-microbial finishes was the same as that of Job Profile 1
(Tables 21 and 22).
3.4 Evaluation of Effect of Combination of Finishes
The finished applied denim samples were evaluated for various properties (water
vapor permeability, water absorption test, weight add-on, percentage shrinkage, stiffness, crease recovery, durability to laundry, air permeability, thermal conductivity,
tensile strength, tear strength, and abrasion tests). The denim samples were also tested
for the combination finish properties as per the preliminary test and job profiles such
