Noil easily dyed, and can also be made waterproof, by using a polyurethane coating. This also increases their usage in furnishings industry. Silk noil hails from China, from where it was exported to Europe in the middle ages, especially to Italy. It was used to create silk blends, through the first half of the 14th century. However, over the time the use decreased. With an increase in demand and variety of alternatives and low-cost substitutes, Noil has re-surfaced – experiencing a sort of revival. In India, noil is used to make sarees, materials and furnishings. Noil Noil is the short fiber
Wrinkle-resistant fabric cellulose chains, while the second self-polymerize resins as well. N-methylol and DMDHEU are reagents commonly used for the treatments because of their relatively low costs; however, they produce free formaldehyde, which has been identified as a potential human carcinogen, and it can also cause harmful dermatological effects. The use of titanium dioxide (TiO) (as a catalyst/ co-catalyst for these reactions) has become an alternative way to minimize the formation of free formaldehyde and fabric strength loss. Dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) is the most commonly used durable-press finish. In this process, the chemical is first applied to the fabric. Then the fabric is
