Discrepancy of Whiteness in Wet State

In the Western culture, white is the colour most often associated with innocence, perfection, cleanliness, the good and honesty. Nowadays, it is relatively easy to accomplish great whiteness and brightness of white textiles applying the FWA’s, but discrepancy in hue due to applied blue or violet FWA, and wet or dry fabric indicate the need for further research in that area. The wetting and wicking have important role in textile dyeing and finishing. Textile colourists require a substrate which wets uniformly for efficient, level dyeing and printing, while in finishing good absorbency and wettability are necessary. In wet state fabrics are transparent, what change the whiteness and UV protection as well. Therefore, in this paper the discrepancy of whiteness of textiles in wet state as well as its transparency of UV light was researched.
