B.Tech - Textile Chemistry


About the Department

Profile

SSM College of Engineering, established in 1998, offers specialized undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate (M.Tech) programs in Textile Chemistry, with a strong emphasis on textile coloration and chemical processing rather than traditional chemistry. This makes the course more accessible to students who are primarily interested in textile technology and its chemical applications, as it focuses on dyeing, printing, finishing, and fabric treatments that directly enhance the properties of textiles like color fastness, texture, and aesthetic appeal.

Additionally, the college assures 100% placement assistance, with opportunities across multiple companies in the textile industry. A significant strength of the program lies in the highly qualified and dedicated faculty of the Textile Chemistry department. Students also benefit from several industrial visits, providing real-world exposure and a deeper understanding of textile manufacturing processes. The college organizes guest lectures, seminars, and workshops, giving students the opportunity to interact with industry experts and stay updated on the latest developments in textile chemistry. Internships with leading textile companies further enhance their practical knowledge and employability. Since 2002, the institution has secured more than 20 gold medals, reflecting its academic excellence and commitment to producing top-tier graduates.

Lab Facilities

FIBRE SCIENCE LABORATORY

A Fiber Science Laboratory is a specialized research facility focused on studying the properties, behaviours, and applications of different types of fibers. Fiber science is an interdisciplinary field that combines aspects of materials science, chemistry, biology, engineering, and physics. The laboratory investigates both natural fibers (such as cotton, wool, and flax) and synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, and carbon fibers), exploring their physical, mechanical, and chemical properties in order to improve their performance, processing, and applications across various industries.


TEXTILE YARN AND FABRIC MANUFACTURING LABORATORY

A Textile Yarn and Fabric Laboratory is a specialized research and testing facility where various aspects of yarn production, fabric construction, and textile properties are studied, tested, and optimized. The laboratory focuses on understanding the characteristics, performance, and quality of yarns and fabrics, which are essential for various industries, including apparel, home textiles, technical textiles, and more. The lab plays a key role in the development and innovation of new textile products, processes, and technologies.


TEXTILE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS LABORATORY

A Textile Chemical Analysis Laboratory is a specialized facility dedicated to the analysis of the chemical composition, properties, and behaviour of textiles and their components. This laboratory plays a crucial role in the textile industry by providing insights into the materials used in fabric production, dyeing, finishing, and the overall quality and safety of textiles. It helps ensure that textiles meet industry standards, comply with regulations, and perform as expected in their intended applications.


DYEING LABORATORY

A Dyeing Laboratory is a specialized facility where the process of dyeing textiles is studied, tested, and optimized. Dyeing is the process of applying colour to fibers, yarns, or fabrics, and the laboratory is dedicated to researching different techniques and chemicals to achieve consistent, high-quality, and sustainable results. It plays a key role in the textile and fashion industries by ensuring that colours are applied evenly and fast, and that the fabric retains its quality after repeated use or washing.


PRINTING LABORATORY

A Printing Laboratory is a specialized facility where the process of textile printing is studied, tested, and perfected. Textile printing is the technique of applying designs, patterns, or images onto fabrics, usually by using dyes, pigments, or inks. The laboratory focuses on experimenting with different printing techniques, colour applications, and materials to create consistent, high-quality prints on textiles. This lab is essential for research and development in the textile, fashion, and home décor industries.


FINISHING LABORATORY

A Finishing Laboratory is a specialized research and testing facility that focuses on the various finishing processes applied to fabrics or fibers to improve their appearance, feel, and performance. These processes can include treatments to enhance the fabric's texture, colour, durability, water resistance, flame retardancy, and other functional properties.


TEXTILE TESTING LABORATORY

A Textile Testing Laboratory is a specialized facility dedicated to testing and evaluating the physical, mechanical, chemical, and functional properties of textiles. This laboratory plays an essential role in the textile industry by ensuring that fabrics and finished products meet industry standards, quality control requirements, and safety regulations. The results of these tests help manufacturers assess the quality, durability, comfort, and overall performance of textile products, ranging from clothing and home textiles to industrial fabrics.


GARMENT LABORATORY

Garment laboratory is a facility where the techniques, methods, and processes involved in the creation and assembly of garments are studied, tested, and refined. This lab focuses on various aspects of garment production, from pattern making and fabric selection to sewing techniques and finishing details. It plays a key role in ensuring that garments are constructed efficiently, with attention to quality, durability, comfort, and style.
