The biggest difference between microfiber home textiles fabrics and ordinary fabrics is that they are very soft and warm and have strong water absorption. Therefore, they are widely used in many fields in the market.
What is microfiber fabric?
Microfiber home textiles: a kind of micron (about 1-2 micron) chemical fiber with triangular structure, mainly polyester / nylon.
The microfiber home textiles woven from micron fiber has the characteristics of softness / smoothness / good air permeability / easy maintenance and cleaning.
It was invented by DuPont. The biggest difference from traditional chemical fiber is that triangular structure / slender fiber is more breathable, softer and more comfortable to wear than circular structure fiber.
Advantages and disadvantages of microfiber fabrics
Superfine fiber: generally, fibers with a size of less than 0.3 denier (5 microns in diameter) are called superfine fibers.
Advantages: the finished fabric feels extremely soft: the fine microfiber home textiles can increase the layered structure of the silk, increase the specific surface area and capillary effect, make the reflected light inside the fiber more finely distributed on the surface, make it have the elegant luster of real silk, and have good moisture absorption and moisture dissipation.
Strong cleaning power: superfine fiber can absorb dust, particles and liquid 7 times its own weight.
Disadvantages: due to strong adsorption, microfiber products cannot be mixed with other items, otherwise they will be stained with a lot of wool and bloated things.
Do not use an iron to iron microfiber towels, and do not touch hot water above 60 degrees.
Application of superfine fiber cloth
Microfiber home textiles is widely used. The textile fabric made of it, after high-level finishing such as sand washing and sanding, forms a layer of appearance similar to peach skin fur on the surface, and is extremely bulky, soft and smooth.
The high-end fashion, jackets, T-Shirts, underwear, skirts and trousers made of this fabric are cool and comfortable, sweat absorption is not close to the body, and full of youthful beauty.
Foreign countries use superfine fiber to make high-grade artificial suede, which not only has the appearance, feel and style similar to leather, but also has low price.
Because the super fiber is thin and soft, it can be used as a clean cloth with excellent decontamination effect. It can wipe all kinds of equipment and has no damage to the mirror.
Superfine fiber can also be made into ultra-high density fabric with extremely smooth surface, which can be used to make sports clothes such as skiing, skating and swimming. It can reduce resistance and help athletes create good results.
At present, the research and development of microfiber home textiles has made a major breakthrough and has broad prospects for military use.
Some enterprises are developing leather for military clothing, gloves and military boots.
Among them, superfine fiber military glove suede leather and superfine fiber military glove veneer leather have passed the inspection of the special clothing quality inspection center of the Chinese people’s Liberation Army, and their products have broad prospects in the military field.
Difference between superfine fiber and cotton fiber
1.The strength of ordinary cotton fiber is relatively low, and many broken fiber flocs will be left after wiping the surface of the object.
Microfiber home textiles cloth belongs to long fiber, with high fiber strength and strong toughness. In the process of use, there is basically no fiber floc left on the surface of the object, and with its own micro electrostatic effect, it can also adsorb all kinds of wool chips.
2.When wiping an object, the ordinary cotton fabric directly sucks the dust, grease and dirt on the surface of the object to be wiped into the fiber.
After use, it remains in the fiber and is not easy to remove. After a long time, it will harden and lose elasticity, affecting the use, and the superfine fiber fabric can effectively solve the above shortcomings. Because its diameter is only 0.4 μ m.
The fineness of the microfiber home textiles is only 1 / 20 of that of real silk. Its special wedge-shaped cross section can more effectively capture even a few microns of dust particles and adsorb the dirt between the fibers (rather than inside the fibers).
In addition, the fiber has high fineness and high density.
It is very easy to clean after sticking.
Except for being contaminated with stubborn oil stains, it does not need to be washed with any chemical cleaner, Use ordinary laundry soap and gently scrub it in warm water to clean it.
3.Microfiber home textiles cloth, with advanced weaving technology and finishing technology, makes the fiber of the finished fabric have standard orange petal section and more layered structure.
Therefore, its water absorption and moisture permeability (including water absorption capacity and water absorption speed) and water retention capacity are particularly prominent.
In general, the water absorption capacity is 10 times that of cotton products with the same weight, and the water holding capacity is 5 times that of its own weight. It has better water absorption in wet state than in dry state.
Compared with cotton fabric, it has no protein hydrolysis due to its special fiber characteristics, so it is difficult for bacteria to survive.
Even if it is wet for a long time, it will not become moldy, sticky and smelly. The service life is about five times that of cotton fabric.
