RESIST

Here is some example of RESIST TECHNIQUES

• Wax-resist technique
• in Malaysia, its known as BATIK.
• using wax as a medium to resist dye (Remazol) from mixing with each others.
• wax are applied using CANTING/DJANTING

• Tie and dye technique
• also known as IKAT CELUP in Malaysia
• the fabric tied using rubber bands or synthetic yarn or threads according to desired design or pattern before applying the dye

• Wax block print technique
• known as Batik Cop / Batik Blok
• use a designed copper/aluminium block

 

What is TEXTILE all about

Malaysians are rich with traditional culture.One of the most precious treasure is FABRIC. Peninsular Malaysia is well-known with the Kain Songket,Kain Batik and Kain Tenun Pahang. While in Sabah and Sarawak, they got Kain Pua Kumbu, Kain Dastar, Kian Pis, Kain Rungus and many more. The needs of fabrics are for safety, protection, ritual or religion.

Our department had to preserve this precious things so we can pass it to the next generations. We not just learn about textile, production process, and designing fabric, we also learn about culture, nature, fashion and many more, because textiles are everywhere. It's all around us. We can see fabric in car, bedroom, toilet, living room, class, office and so much more.

There are THREE major principals in textile world which is Resist, Printing and Fibre.

Resist dyeing (resist-dyeing) is a term for a number of traditional methods of dyeing textiles with patterns. Methods are used to "resist" or prevent the dye from reaching all the cloth, thereby creating a pattern and ground. The most common forms use wax, some type of paste made from starch or mud, or a mechanical resist that manipulates the cloth such as tying or stitching. Another form of resist involves using a chemical agent in a specific type of dye that will repel another type of dye printed over the top. The most well-known varieties today include tie-dye and batik.

Textile printing is the process of applying colour to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the colour is bonded with the fiber, so as to resist washing and friction. Textile printing is related to dyeing but in dyeing properly the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one colour, whereas in printing one or more colours are applied to it in certain parts only, and in sharply defined patterns.

Textile fibres can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, insect cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally-occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires. The textile industry requires that fibre content be provided on content labels. These labels are used to test textiles under different conditions to meet safety standards (for example, for flame-resistance), and to determine whether or not a textile is machine washable or must be dry-cleaned. Basically, fibres are used in most textiles production.
