There are actually many fabrics for bedding, and different fabrics have different effects. Tencel is a relatively common fabric, but many people don’t know it very well. Let’s take a look with the editor below: What kind of fabric is Tencel and how to wash it? By the wayWhich one is more expensive, Tencel or pure cotton fabrics? AndWhy does Tencel fabric harden as soon as it is exposed to water?
1. What kind of fabric is Tencel and how to wash it
(1) What kind of fabric is Tencel?
Tencel is a kind of wood pulp Fibers are made from natural materials and undergo physical processing. It retains the breathability of cotton, the strength of chemical fibers, and the luster of silk. It has the advantages of soft drape, unique touch, elegant and dynamic, breathable and moisture-permeable, elegant luster, anti-mite and anti-static, strong durability, good elasticity, not easy to wrinkle, easy to care for and wash. Suitable for spring, summer, autumn and rainy seasons.
(2) How to wash Tencel fabric
1 , Tencel fabrics should be washed with neutral silk detergent. Because Tencel fabric has good water absorption and high coloring rate, and alkaline solutions are harmful to Tencel, do not use alkaline washing powder or detergent when washing. In addition, Tencel fabric has good softness. Therefore, we generally recommend using neutral detergent.
2. The washing time of Tencel fabric should not be long. Because the surface of Tencel fiber is smooth, the cohesion is poor, so it cannot be soaked in water for a long time during washing, and it cannot be washed and shaken vigorously during washing. This may cause thin cloth at the seams of the fabric and affect its use. , in severe cases, it will cause the Tencel fabric to pill.
3. Use gentle wool to wash Tencel fabrics. Tencel fabrics will undergo some softening treatment during the post-finishing process to make them smoother. Therefore, when washing Tencel fabrics, it is recommended that you use silk or wool stalls or gentle stalls to wash them, and avoid using cotton or other stalls. Otherwise, It may reduce the smoothness of the fabric and make the Tencel fabric hard after washing.
4. Tencel fabric should be ironed at medium to low temperature after washing and drying. Due to the material characteristics of Tencel fabric, it may cause many wrinkles during use, washing or storage. Be sure to use medium and low temperature ironing. In particular, do not press on both sides, otherwise it will easily cause the fabric to deform and affect the appearance.
2. Which is more expensive, Tencel or pure cotton fabrics?
1. Which fabric is more expensive, Tencel or pure cotton? In fact, there is no accurate answer on this issue, because Tencel is also divided into many qualities and grades, and the same is true for pure cotton. There are long-staple cotton and ordinary cotton, high-count and low-count, and the density and printing and dyeing finishing processes are different. The price disparity is also large. Therefore, the question of which fabric is more expensive, Tencel or pure cotton, depends on the raw materials, yarn count, density and other specifications and processes.
2. Take the 21SX21S/108X58 Tencel yarn card and the pure cotton yarn card of the same specification as ordinary Tencel and Tencel yarn cards respectively. Cotton and Tencel gray fabrics are about 2 yuan more expensive than cotton fabrics. However, the difference in the price of finished fabrics is much greater. Currently, the cost of dyeing Tencel yarn cards is about 7 yuan/meter, while cotton yarn cards can be controlled at 3.5 yuan/meter. In addition, the dyeing and finishing of Tencel yarn cards requires sand washing, and the shrinkage loss is relatively large. Big, so calculated, the cost of this Tencel gauze card is 6.5 yuan per meter more expensive than the cotton gauze card. Judging by this standard, Tencel fabric is obviously more expensive. However, this is just an example.
3. Why does Tencel fabric harden as soon as it is exposed to water?
1. Why does Tencel fabric harden as soon as it is exposed to water? The wet modulus of Tencel is relatively large. After being immersed in water, the fibers expand and become thicker, and the gaps between the fibers become smaller. The fibers are not easy to bend and the fibers are not easy to slide between each other, so the feel becomes thicker and harder. After hanging drying at room temperature, the moisture content is still very high, the fiber shrinkage is not complete, and the hand feel will still be thicker and harder. When hanging drying at room temperature, it gradually dries from top to bottom, from the edge to the middle, and the softness and hardness are inconsistent.
2. The fiber bundles of Tencel fabric can be fully opened to make it more fluffy and solve the problem of Tencel fabric becoming hard after exposure to water. Condition. Tencel Lyocell fiber itself will swell when exposed to water. This is different from cotton, linen, silk, wool and chemical fibers. The fibers are already very close to each other. When exposed to water, they will become even tighter when exposed to water, so they will become hard. When finishing, do full fiber opening.��can be avoided very well.
3. Tencel fabrics swell when exposed to water and become hard, while sand washing can play a very good softening role and completely eliminate the Its “edges” make it pliable and rounded. In fact, Tencel fabrics are basically sand washed. Whether it is sand washing in machine cylinder dyeing or air flow cylinder dyeing, it is the principle of sand washing, so the soft drape performance is particularly excellent. In order to reduce costs, some people use long-turn dyeing and omit sand washing. It is inevitable that it will harden when exposed to water.
The above is about what kind of fabric is Tencel and how to wash it, Tencel and pure cotton fabrics Which one is more expensive? Why does Tencel fabric harden after being exposed to water?
