Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The economic technique in carpet manufacturing process to minimize the cost of production was done on a joint venture of three divisions namely Textile Physics, Mechanical Processing and Pilot Plant Division. The carpet is the most important finished product among finished jute product.BTB and BWC (which are the usual grade of jute for carpet manufacturing) fibres are used in the experiment. Two ply yarn of count 7.5×2=15 lbs/spy were made by white and tossa jute fibre. Both the yarn of tossa and white will be treated chemically by Fixapret ECO (A product of BASF). From the textile and physical properties study, it is seen that there is no significant change in brightness and in whiteness. While both the varieties of BTB and BWB suffer loss 18.8% and 21.9% in strength for chemical (Fixapret) treatment. There is also loss in mass (count) of yarn in both varieties by some percentages.

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To ascertain the physical, textile properties of tossa jute and white jute carpet .

Methodology:

The aim of the experiment is to develop the performance of jute carpet by chemical treatment of raw jute tossa and white jute fibre each of grade B and C respectively. So, single yarn and pile yarn are made in mechanical processing Division. Yarn properties are tested from test specimen. Tensile strength, count, twist and whiteness are taken from individual test specimen 0f 2.5 yds. Such twenty test of (reading) of aforesaid parameters are taken from 20 –test specimen of length 2.5 yds. All the properties and performance were studied in Testing & Standardization department of Textile Physics Division as per standard method of ISO, BST (British Standard Method of Testing), ASTM (American Standard Testing Method). Chemical treatments of two ply pile yarn: The two ply pile yarn of BTB and BWC will be treated with Fixapret eco (a product of BASF) along with necessary auxiliaries followed by standard method.

Achievement/Findings:

The objective of the experiment is to make a comparative picture about the performance of jute carpet with pile yarn made of tossa jute and white jute. The comparative picture will show which one of the two varieties is better for particular performance viz. resiliency, abrasion resistance, durability, thickness loss etc. of jute carpet including chemical treatment by Fixapret ECO (A product of BASF) on both the varieties of BTB and BWC pile yarn for carpet manufacturing carpet manufacture was not done yet for lack of facilities of carpet mill of BJMC. So, the study is made on two-pile yarn of BTB and BWC.It is observed from data that the Tensile Strength of BTB pile yarn is slight higher than that of BWC pile yarn. There is significant change in whiteness in both the cases of BTB and BWC pile yarn.
