Once moist, the fabric enters the sanforization process proper.  Here, an endless rubber belt is squeezed between a pressure roll and a rubber belt cylinder, it is here that the stretching of the elastic belt surface occurs.  The more the rubber belt is squeezed, the more the surface is stretched.  This point of squeezing is known as the pressure zone, or the nip point.  The fabric is fed into the pressure zone and upon leaving it, the rubber belt recovers itself and the surface returns to its pre-squeezed (stretched) size carrying the fabric with it.  The effect of this action is a shortening of the warp yarns,  which packs the filling yarns (weft), closer together:  at this moment, shrinkage occurs.  \u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\nAfter compaction, the fabric enters a dryer where the fibres are locked in their shrunken state as the moisture is removed from the fabric\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; border-bottom: 1px dotted rgb(33, 33, 37); color: rgb(33, 33, 37); cursor: help; text-decoration: none;\"\u003eSanforized\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"glossary_tooltip\" data-title=\"You probably would not know these had been one-washed by looking at them, but we have put the through some serious industrial washing machines to take most of the shrinkage out of them.\"\u003eone-washed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- little to no\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"glossary_tooltip\" data-title=\"Yarns and\/or fabrics are not fixed materials. They consist of separate fibres that will stretch when exposed to tension, i.e. they elongate during the process of being made into cloth (during spinning, weaving, bleaching, dyeing and the various finishing processes, yarns and cloth are under continuous tension).  Some or all of this stretch within the fabric is retained in the post-loom fabric because of friction between the fibres and the yarns.\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\n\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\nThe stretch that occurs can be eliminated when the friction within the fabric is reduced.
