- The fabric passing through the rollers of the calender is subjected to a very uniform pressure all along its width; if the rollers rotate at a different speed, a vigorous friction effect is generated. Steel rollers may be equipped in such a way to be heated from the inside by means of steam, circulating fluids or electrical power.The wavy engraving on the rollers give the effect as shown.

Steel rollers may be equipped in such a way to be heated from the inside by means of steam, circulating fluids or electrical power.The rollers coated with paper/wool, containing 45-50% of wool, feature good elasticity and excellent resistance to wear and are suitable for a wide variety of applications; they can also be used in embossing calendering units.Rollers made of paper/cotton, are used almost in friction calenders and for treating hard fibres. Cotton rollers, featuring higher elasticity than the paperones, are mainly used for cotton and blends finishing and for a final full hand effect.
Fabric Calendering
Fabric Embossing
- Embossing means to create a raised or lowered image on the surface. The embossing machine is made up of a heated and embossed roller made of steel,which is pressed against another roller coated with paper or cotton, its circumference being exactly a whole multiple of the metal roller.
- The garment will have to be dry-cleaned.Washing and drying the garment will raise the pile and destroy the embossed image.
Water Proof Finish
Water proofed fabric has the pores of the fabrics covered with acontinuous surface.The coating being done on the surface, air permeability is non-existent, with nobonding between the fibres and the coated product intended for use in the fabric of rain- and water-resistant clothing.
The type of hydrophobic treatment chosen affects the quality of the garment and its durability during washing or chemical cleaning.Finish is applied by filling the fabric pores witha film-forming compound or by the applying to individual fibres or fabrics of compounds which repel water and have a high surface tension.

Water Repellent Finish
- Specially Durable to washing. Also resistant to dry-cleaning. Easy handling and storage. Improved finish durability,can provide repellency to 30 home laundry washes . Solvent Free and Low foaming. High resistance to yellowing,suitable for colored and white goods.
- Typical application fields are
- Carpet finishing.Clothing (e.g. sportswear & rain coat.).Umbrella cloth.Table linen, curtains and upholstery fabric.Tarpaulins and tents.Technical fabrics (e.g. protective clothing)
Chintz : Glaze Finish
Chintz is a closely woven plain weave cotton fabric with a shiny and lustrous finish. It usually has bright figures of large flower,birds, and other such designs.
The fabric is processed with glazed finish to give it a polish look. The wax and starch glaze washes out. It is produced by friction or glazing calendars. It withstands washing or dry cleaning

Fabric Softener Finish
Fabric softener is a product used while laundering to make clothes soft and eliminate static cling. Depending on the brand of fabric softener one purchases, it can be added at the beginning of the laundry cycle at the same time detergent is dispensed or during the rinse cycle.
Fabric softener can also come in sheets to be placed in the dryer.

Heat Setting Crinkle Finish
A process of decorating fabric includes the step of imparting wrinkles to the fabric oblique to the warp and weft directions and heat setting the wrinkles into the fabric.
The wrinkle imparting step may include moving the fabric longitudinally and simultaneously moving portions of the fabric from side to side by frictionally engaging the fabric to an oscillating means such as an elastomeric pad or interleaved fingers and oscillating the pad or fingers from side to side.

Advantage of Pile Finish
Pile Finish is labour friendly. The workers are not exposed to dangerous chemicals like caustic soda, acids, bleaches etc to which they most definitely are in the chemical washing process.
Pile Finish
The dry finishing process is mechanical and 100% chemical free. Combing the pile very carefullyand thoroughly during the weaving process after each row of knots is tied so that the pile fibres are disentangled and lie parallel to each other,imparting a rare clarity to thedesign.
The finishing is thus very much apart of the weaving process itself.
