Abstract
A hammering body having a plurality of protrusions on its external surface useful for randomly fading fabric and a method for randomly fading fabric are provided. The method comprising the steps of providing an at least partially wet fabric to be faded, at least one hammering body having an external surface with a plurality of protrusions, and a powder comprising a bleaching agent to a tumbling chamber, tumbling the fabric, the hammering body and the powder in the chamber such that the protrusions of the hammering body repeatedly strike the fabric, thereby driving the powder into the fabric until a desired fading effect is achieved, and separating the faded fabric from the hammering body.
Claims16
A method for randomly fading fabric, comprising:
- (a) providing to a tumbling chamber an at least partially wet fabric to be faded, at least one hammering body having an external surface, the external surface having a plurality of protrusions, and a powder, the powder comprising a bleaching agent, wherein the body has a diameter of from about 1 cm to about 8 cm;
- (b) tumbling the fabric, the hammering body and the powder in the chamber such that the protrusions of the hammering body repeatedly strike the fabric, thereby driving the powder into the fabric until a fading effect is achieved, wherein the body is configured for resisting abrasion to the fabric;
- and
- (c) separating the faded fabric from the hammering body.
A method for randomly fading fabric, comprising:
- (a) providing to a tumbling chamber an at least partially wet fabric to be faded, at least one hammering body having an external surface, the external surface having a plurality of protrusions, and a powder, the powder comprising a bleaching agent, wherein the body comprises a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl chloride and polyacrylate;
- (b) tumbling the fabric, the hammering body and the powder in the chamber such that the protrusions of the hammering body repeatedly strike the fabric, thereby driving the powder into the fabric until a fading effect is achieved, wherein the body is configured for resisting abrasion to the fabric;
- and
- (c) separating the faded fabric from the hammering body.
A method for randomly fading fabric, comprising:
- (a) providing to a tumbling chamber an at least partially wet fabric to be faded, least one hammering body having an external surface, the external surface having a plurality of protrusions and a powder, the powder comprising a bleaching agent, wherein the body comprises a metallic material;
- (b) tumbling the fabric, the hammering body and the powder in the chamber such that the protrusions of the hammering body repeatedly strike the fabric, thereby driving the powder into the fabric until a fading effect is achieved, wherein the body is configured for resisting abrasion to the fabric;
- and
- (c) separating the faded fabric from the hammering body.
