Sportswear Fabric Tips
1. Fabrics are divided into chemical fiber fabrics and natural fiber fabrics
1. Regenerated fibers and synthetic fibers are collectively referred to as chemical textile fibers.
(1) Regenerated fiber: Its chemical composition is the same as natural cellulose, but the physical structure has been changed, so it is called regenerated cellulose fiber. Such as viscose fiber, acetate fiber, cupra and so on, our country mainly produces viscose fiber. Features: soft hand feeling, good gloss, good moisture absorption, good air permeability, good dyeing performance (not easy to fade). The disadvantage is that the wet fastness is poor, that is, the water strength becomes lower.
(2) Synthetic fiber: polyester, characteristics: good strength and abrasion resistance, stiff, not easy to deform, with the reputation of non-ironing, and not easy to fade. The disadvantage is poor water absorption. Nylon, features: high strength, good abrasion resistance, ranking first among fibers. Disadvantages: Like polyester, it has poor moisture absorption and air permeability. Acrylic fiber, features: better polishing than wool and silk fiber. But the wear resistance is poor. There are also vinylon, polypropylene, spandex and so on.
Because chemical fibers have their own characteristics, they are generally blended. Such as adding a certain proportion of natural fibers (wool, cotton, silk, hemp), or blending of different chemical fibers, taking their own characteristics to obtain excellent fabrics. Polyester is the most widely used synthetic fiber in clothing.
The aging problem of synthetic fibers: For example, the folds of acrylic fiber fabrics are easy to break and wear, and other fiber blends can be added to enhance its performance. Exposure to the sun can also easily cause the aging of the synthetic fibers and breakage of the fabric.
What is chemical fiber: refers to fiber made from natural or artificial polymer materials. The source is mainly oil and natural gas extracts.
The elongation of spandex can reach 500%-700%, and the rebound rate is 97%-98%, so it has excellent elasticity.
2. Natural fibers: cotton (cotton), hemp, silk (silk) and wool.
2. According to the fabric weaving method, weaving fabrics are divided into two categories: machine weaving and knitting:
1. Woven fabric: refers to a textile made of warp yarns and weft yarns that are interwoven on a loom according to a certain rule. Such as denim fabrics, suit fabrics, shirt fabrics, curtain fabrics, etc.
2. Knitted fabric: It is a fabric made by using knitting needles to make yarns into loops and then putting the loops on each other. Such as general T-shirt fabrics, sweaters, etc.
Nonwovens: refers to textiles made from textile fibers through bonding, fusion, or other chemical or mechanical methods. Such as medical gloves, masks, patient sheets, women's sanitary napkins, diapers, synthetic leather.
