Fabric Preparation

At Aurora, we understand that meeting our customers’ diverse technical needs require excellent fabric preparation capabilities. Good products come as a result of good fabric preparation.

Our modern equipment allows for diverse fabric preparation capabilities in widths up to 132”:

Open-width Bleaching

This process whitens the textile and remove impurities that would otherwise negatively impact the final properties our customers are seeking.

Open-width Scouring

Scouring is the process by which natural oils or waxes and other impurities added during fabric manufacturing are removed prior to textile coating, finishing, and dyeing.

Open-width De-sizing

De-sizing is the process of removing the size material from the yarns after the textile fabric is woven. This process leaves cotton fabric clean but preserves its natural color.

Open-width Singeing

This process removes cotton ends that are protruding from the surface producing a smoother surface for coating, finishing and dyeing.

Heat-Setting

This process gives our fabrics dimensional stability, providing shrink resistance and shape retention. This can be a stand alone process or can be incorporated as part of other finishing processes.
