Izindwangu zensimbi
I-ayini yezingubo, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-flatiron, i-ayina ebushelelezi, i-ayini eyomile, i-ayini yesitimu, noma ne-ayini nje, iyithuluzi elincane, lapho lifudumala, lisetshenziselwa ukucindezela izingubo ukuze kususwe imicu nemigqa engafuneki. Ama-ayinii asekhaya avame ukusebenza ezingeni lokushisa kusuka ku-121 °C (250 °F) kuya ku-182 °C (360 °F) . Liqanjwe ngensimbi (i-ayina) lapho umshini wenziwa khona ngokomlando, futhi ukusetshenziswa kwalo kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-iron, isinyathelo sokugcina enqubweni yokuhlanza izingubo.
I-ironing isebenza ngokunciphisa izibopho phakathi kwamaketanga amade ama-molecule akhona ezintweni ze-ipolymer fiber. Ngokushisa kanye nesisindo se-iron plate, imicu iyavuleka futhi indwangu igcina isimo sayo esisha lapho ipholile. Ezinye izinto, njengokotini, zidinga ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi ukuze kukhululwe izibopho ze-intermolecular.
