This paper lists the definition, properties and uses of microfiber home textiles, so that consumers can make a comparison with cotton products and have more choices when purchasing towel textile products.
From cotton era to microfiber home textiles Era
Is your towel textile still in the era of pure cotton?
Do you know what microfiber is? A new generation of home textile products, microfiber home textiles, feels silky and smooth.
Its water absorption is 7 times that of ordinary cotton towel textile products, and its durability is 3 times that of ordinary cotton towel textile products.
The commonly used microfiber home towel textile products are likely to replace pure cotton products. So what is microfiber?
What is microfiber home textiles?
Superfine fiber is a kind of differentiated fiber that has developed rapidly in recent years. It is called a new generation of synthetic fiber.
It is a high-quality and high-tech textile raw material. It is a typical representative of the new synthetic fiber that chemical fiber is developing in the direction of high technology and high simulation.
How about the performance of microfiber?
Because the diameter of superfine fiber is very small, its bending stiffness is very small, and the microfiber home textiles feels very soft;
The specific surface area of superfine fiber is very large, so the coverage, fluffy and warmth retention of superfine fiber fabric are significantly improved.
The specific surface area is large, and the fiber has more contact with dust or oil, and the oil has more opportunities to penetrate from the gap between the fiber surfaces, so it has a very strong cleaning function.
The ultra-fine fiber is made into ultra-high density fabric, and the gap between the fibers is between the diameter of water droplets and the diameter of water vapor droplets.
Therefore, the ultra-fine fabric has the effect of waterproof and vapor permeability.
The microfiber has many fine pores between the microfibers to form a capillary structure.
If it is processed into a towel fabric that can be wetted by water, it has high water absorption.
The washed hair can quickly absorb the water with this towel to make the hair dry quickly.
What are the applications of microfiber?
Microfiber home textiles can be made into silk like, peach like, suede like, wool like and high density products Microfiber has opened up an unprecedented way out in the textile field.
Its main application fields are high-grade fashion fabrics, high-density fabrics, high-performance wipes, peach skin like fabrics, human suede, high-grade mirror wiping paper, gas filter materials, etc. it can also be used in biomedical engineering fields such as artificial blood vessels.
Simulated silk fabric
With the development of microfiber home textiles spinning and processing technology, the appearance and wearability of synthetic fiber silk like fabric are closer and closer to real silk, even to the point of confusing the fake with the real.
The simulated silk fabric made of microfiber home textiles not only has the advantages of soft, comfortable, luxurious and elegant silk fabric, but also overcomes the disadvantages of easy wrinkling, adhesion and poor fastness of silk fabric, which is enough to meet the requirements of people’s desire for diversification and high-grade clothing materials.
From the development of ultra-fine simulated silk fabrics, the fiber density is generally about 0.1-0.5dtex.
High performance cleaning cloth
It is another representative product of microfiber products.
Because the fabric has countless times more micro pores than ordinary fabrics and has high specific surface area and micro pores, it has strong cleaning ability, fast and complete decontamination, no hair loss, and can be reused after washing.
It is widely used in precision machinery, optical instruments, microelectronics, dust-free rooms and families.
Ultra high density waterproof breathable fabric
The ultra-high density fabric made of superfine fiber has high density, light texture, good drapability, soft and plump feel and fine structure.
Although it is not coated and waterproof, it also has high water resistance, light, easy to fold and carry. It is a textile product with high added value.
This kind of fabric generally adopts polyester nylon stripping ultra-fine composite wire, and the linear density of single wire is generally 0.1-0.2 dtex.
Suede and artificial leather fabrics
Suede like or artificial leather fabrics can be made from knitted fabrics, woven fabrics or nonwovens made of superfine fibers, ground or roughened, impregnated with polyurethane solution, dyed and finished.
Many properties of the fabric are no less than natural suede.
It has light, soft and smooth surface texture, waterproof and breathable, good strength and no deformation.
