Across
  1. 1. a method of printing from a digital file, like a PDF, directly onto various media such as paper, canvas, or fabric without the need for a printing paper
  2. 8. a fabric's ability to reduce or prevent the buildup and discharge of static electricity.
  3. 9. a process that uses heat and pressure to create a permanent, raised design or pattern on the fabric's surface, changing its texture and adding a 3D effect
  4. 10. creates and develops original patterns, designs, and textures for fabrics and other textiles used in fashion, home decor, and products like wallpaper and upholstery
  5. 13. a fabric finishing process that provides a smooth, wrinkle-free, and shape-retaining appearance to garments through repeated laundering and drying
  6. 16. a chemical process that treats cellulose fibers, primarily cotton, with a strong sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) solution to permanently improve the fabric's luster, strength, and affinity for dyes
  7. 17. the material is designed to deter moths from feeding on it, providing partial protection against moth damage
  8. 18. a material that provides a complete, 100% barrier against water penetration, preventing it from passing through to the wearer
  9. 19. a mechanical finishing process that uses wire brushes to mechanically tease and raise the surface fibers of a fabric
Down
  1. 2. the fabric is treated to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mold, which helps control odors, prevent degradation, and maintain hygiene
  2. 3. the processes and techniques used to manage and limit a fabric's dimensional change (specifically, its tendency to become smaller) after manufacturing, particularly after washing or exposure to heat and moisture
  3. 4. a finishing process where pumice stones soaked in a chlorine or bleach solution are tumbled with garments to create a marbled, mottled, or "tie-dye" effect
  4. 5. applies chemistry to the design, development, and manufacturing of textiles, enhancing their properties and creating specialized materials for various purposes
  5. 6. a fabric is treated or constructed to minimize or eliminate creases and wrinkles, allowing it to maintain a smooth appearance after washing, drying, and wearing without needing to be ironed
  6. 7. a special finish applied to fabric that allows absorbed stains and soil to be easily washed out during the laundering process
  7. 11. means the fabric is designed to hinder the growth of mold and mildew, either through its natural composition (like synthetic fibers) or via chemical treatments that actively inhibit fungal growth
  8. 12. a textured, raised surface created by fibers that lie in a uniform direction
  9. 14. a finishing process that applies millions of tiny, short fibers—known as flock—to an adhesive-coated fabric surface, creating a soft, velvet-like texture
  10. 15. the fabric will not continue to burn once the source of flame is removed
