What is functional fabric?
Functional fabric refers to changing the properties of the fabric, adding functional materials, and adding various additives during the production process or post-finishing, so that the fabric itself has special functions and effects that ordinary clothing fabrics do not have. Super performance.
7 functional fabrics
·Waterproof fabrics·
Waterproof fabric is a new type of textile fabric, which is made of polymer waterproof and breathable material (PTFE membrane) plus fabric composite fabric.
Among them, breathable and waterproof fabrics can take advantage of the difference in the size of water vapor particles and raindrops to attach a porous structure film with a pore size smaller than raindrops to the surface of the fabric, so that raindrops cannot pass through, while water vapor and sweat But it can pass smoothly and achieve breathable and waterproof effect.
·High visibility fluorescent fabric·
Fluorescent fabric refers to ordinary Fabrics that have a strong reflective effect after being fluorescently dyed or coated. The use of fluorescent fabrics can strongly reflect light to extremely distant targets or targets in the dark, thus serving as a good warning and safety precaution. It is mostly used outdoors or in special work clothes.
·Flame-retardant fabric·
Flame-retardant fabric is made of innate resistance to Fire fibers are made by spinning, weaving, and dyeing. Flame retardants can also be polymerized, blended, copolymerized, and composite spun to make the fibers permanently flame retardant. They are suitable for manufacturing metallurgy, oil fields, and coal mines. , chemical industry, electric power, fire protection industry protective clothing.
Flame-retardant fabrics can be divided into:
1. Permanent flame-retardant fabrics
2. Washing resistance (more than 50 times) Flame-retardant fabric
3. Semi-washable flame-retardant fabric
4. Disposable flame-retardant fabric
·Quick-drying fabric·
Quick-drying fabric refers to fabrics that evaporate moisture more easily and dry faster. They can quickly transfer sweat. It reaches the surface of the clothes and evaporates sweat through air circulation, thereby achieving the purpose of quick drying. Generally, quick-drying fabrics dry 50% faster than cotton fabrics.
The main function of quick-drying fabrics is to wick away sweat quickly, dissipate moisture and have good warmth retention properties, which is beneficial to keeping the skin dry and fresh. Used in outdoor sports equipment, quick-drying fabrics can play a better role in windproof, rainproof and moisture-proof.
·Antistatic fabrics·
Antistatic fabrics use hydrophilic finishing or adding conductive fibers to make the fabrics Electrically conductive, this kind of fabric is not easy to absorb dust and is anti-static. It is very suitable for making carpets and special work clothes, such as dust-proof clothing.
·Antibacterial fabric·
Antibacterial fabrics have good safety. They can prevent bacterial regeneration and reproduction and keep fabrics clean. They are mostly used in socks, underwear, workwear fabrics, outdoor sports fabrics, etc.
·Composite functional fabrics·
Composite fabrics use special raw material ratios and processes to combine two or more new functions on the same fabric to achieve both functions in one fabric Multiple functional effects to meet different needs. Common composite fabrics include artificial leather, synthetic leather, plastic composite cloth, modified polyester composite cloth, foam plastic composite cloth, etc.
