Imitation linen processing - Gimakako

Japanese: 擬麻加工 - ぎまかこう
Imitation linen processing - Gimakako

Cotton fabrics, spun rayon fabrics, etc. that have been treated to imitate hemp, or similarly treated linen-treated yarns. Fabrics and yarns that have been given an appearance and feel similar to linen products. Linen-imitation processing is achieved by processing paste-like substances such as gelatin, casein, konjac powder, and viscose, or synthetic resins to make them insoluble, in order to give them a hard feel similar to linen. Another method is to partially dissolve the surface of the fiber with a strong alkali and mercerize it. These processes make the material harder to the touch and less flexible, but they can give it a cool feel and luster like linen. It is used for summer women's and children's clothing and shirting, but is not very good at washing.

Japanese:

綿織物、スパンレーヨン織物などに擬麻加工を施したもの、あるいは同様な加工を施した擬麻加工糸。麻(あさ)製品に似た外観や感触を与えた生地(きじ)や糸。擬麻加工は、麻に似た硬い感触を付与するために、ゼラチン、カゼイン、こんにゃく粉、ビスコースなどの糊(のり)状物質、あるいは合成樹脂類を加工して不溶性とすることでつくられる。また強アルカリで繊維の表面を一部溶解し、マーセライズ化したりする方法がとられる。これらの加工によって、手ざわりは硬くなり、伸縮度は小さくなるが、麻のような冷感とつやを出すことができる。夏の婦人子供服地、シャツ地などに使われるが、洗濯には弱くなる。
