Investigation of the wetting ability of surfactants in the washing process of cotton knitted fabric

Purpose. Investigation of the wetting ability of surfactants solutions of various classes in relation to a grey cotton knitted fabric. Methodology. The wetting ability of surfactants solutions of different concentrations was determined by the Draves immersion method. Findings. The paper presents the results of the study of the wetting ability of surfactants solutions of various classes in relation to grey cotton knitted fabric. Originality. For the first time, the dependence of the wetting time of the samples of grey cotton knitted fabric on the concentration of surfactants of various classes was established. Practical value. Surfactants and their concentrations are established, which ensure the maximum rapid wetting of knitwear
