This document discusses different types of fabric finishing processes. It describes physical finishes like calendaring, laminating, and brushing which smooth, bond layers, or add texture to fabrics. It also outlines several chemical finishes such as flameproofing, waterproofing, shrink resistance, crease resistance, and anti-static/anti-felting treatments that change fabric properties. Finally, it mentions two biological finishes - biopolishing and biostoning - which use enzymes to add shine or an aged look to fabrics. The overall purpose of fabric finishing is to modify appearance, feel, and performance characteristics for different fabric end uses.
