Friends who know fabrics all know that fabrics are mainly made of natural fibers and chemical fibers. Different fibers play different roles in fabrics. This article will let you learn about a new concept of “functional fibers”. It is based on the fiber itself and adds some functional properties. Common ones include conductive fibers, ion exchange fibers, etc. Next, I will introduce to you in detail what functional fibers are.
Antistatic, conductive fiber: The principle of antistatic is to increase the hygroscopicity of the fiber surface so that the surface has a higher moisture content, so that static electricity can be reduced to the greatest extent. Conductive fibers are made of metal fibers. The newly developed conductive fibers have excellent conductivity and antistatic capabilities.
UV-resistant fiber: Clothing manufacturers generally add a layer of coating when producing clothes to achieve UV protection, but this method will greatly affect the feel and appearance of the fabric, so there is With the emergence of UV-resistant fiber, the purpose of UV protection can be achieved by infiltrating this fiber into the original fiber.
Flame-retardant fiber: Flame-retardant fiber is mainly used in the production of specific clothing such as firefighting suits. It achieves the purpose of flame retardancy by blocking and diluting oxygen.
Fragrance fiber: This is by adding spices to the fiber to make the fiber emit fragrance. This fiber can be used to produce pajamas, carpets, curtains and other fabrics, and has the effect of calming and deodorizing.
The above are the common functional fibers we usually have. We will also share knowledge about functional fibers with you in the future. Interested friends can continue to pay attention to the website.
