A single–stage preparatory process for acrylic–sized and starch–sized cambric fabrics, based on a self–emulsifiable solvent–assisted system using hydrogen peroxide, has been investigated using a second–order response–surface design. It has been observed that it is easier and cheaper to bleach an acrylic–sized fabric. The single–stage preparatory process results in 5–15% saving in energy and proves to be more economical than the conventional fabric preparation process.
