The “fiber” in textiles

1. Polyester is strong

Polyester fiber is 1 times stronger than cotton and 3 times stronger than wool. The impact resistance is 4 times higher than nylon and 20 times higher than viscose fiber. It is strong and strong, maintaining its strength both dry and wet. Polyester fiber fabric is particularly crisp, smooth, and not prone to wrinkles.

2. Nylon is wear-resistant

Nylon is also known as nylon. Its wear resistance is about 10 times that of cotton and 20 times that of wool. Because nylon has higher abrasion resistance than all textile fibers, nylon fabrics are durable in wear.

3. Acrylic fiber is light-fast

Acrylic fiber is fluffy, curly, soft, warm and elastic, and is known as “synthetic wool”. Because acrylic has strong light resistance, higher than that of all other textile fibers, the textile industry changed “nitrile” to “sunny”, which means it is not afraid of sunlight. After being exposed to the sun for one year, its strength will only decrease by 20%.

4. The elastic one is spandex

The elasticity of spandex fiber is usually 500%-800%, and the elastic recovery is also very good. The elastic elongation of spandex core-spun yarn fabric, which only accounts for about 2%, is as high as 20-30%, which essentially reaches the effect of human body action on fabric elasticity. requirements. Permanently maintains its original shape, comfort and beauty.

5. The lightest one is polypropylene

Its specific gravity is only 3/5 of cotton. In terms of “lightness”, it is second to none among textile fibers. Polypropylene fiber is low cost and cheap.

6. Chlorine is the one that is afraid of heat

It begins to soften and shrink at around 70°C, and the shrinkage rate in boiling water can reach 50%. It is a textile fiber that is resistant to heat. Generally, once the fiber is ignited, it will still burn after leaving the open flame, but once the chlorine fiber is removed from the open flame, it will naturally extinguish quickly. Therefore, chlorine fiber is a textile fiber that is difficult to burn.
