Caracterización de los tejidos jersey poliéster/algodón para confeccionar prendas de bebé

Abstract

The garments are considered as the second skin, in infants in a target of 0 - 12 months, this requirement should be selected with greater care because the babies have greater sensitivity in the skin; poor selection of tissues causes discomfort in babies due to lack of absorption of moisture from the tissues, causing allergies and lack of comfort. The present investigation is directed to the analysis of the fabrics that garment workers use with remnants, the importance of the selection of the fabrics for the elaboration of baby clothes and the process of correct confection to produce baby clothes with quality. To determine the appropriate characteristics that the tissues must possess for the target under study, laboratory tests have been carried out, such as: Trend to pilling, Determination of dimensional variations in washing, drying and water proof and provide adequate standards under international ISO standards 12945-2: 2000, NTE INEN-ISO 5077: 2014 and AATCC 22-2014; under the premise of comfort of the textile genres. As a proposal to minimize the effects of using these fabrics in companies that work with scraps of fabrics discarded by large garment companies in the provinces of Imbabura, this manual was developed and contains a set of guidelines focused on the use of fabrics with the correct composition of textiles used for the development of baby clothes, the same that will serve as a guide for garment makers in the process of tissue selection.
