 Full text | Abstract: To improve the aesthetics of clothing (jackets), special insert materials are used during production. During usage, clothing comes into contact with various factors (physical, chemical, mechanical and biological ones) which cause deformation and wear. In order to better examine the effect of maintenance treatment on the quality of laminates created by gluing materials, this work was limited to the determination of the influence of the 5th procedure (Mpr - 5), consisting of dry cleaning + ironing, on the value of flexural stiffness index G depending on m – quantity (mass) of deposited adhesive (glue), Dl – the direction in which the deposited layers are placed, and Dc - the direction in which samples were cut out. The examinations carried out indicated that the above mentioned maintenance treatment entails reduction of flexural rigidity. It may be caused by the partial washing out of the surface fabric finish. |
