What is microfiber fabric?
Microfiber: A chemical fiber with a triangular structure in the micron (1-2 micron) scale, mainly polyester/nylon. The fabric made of micron grade fiber has the characteristics of softness/smoothness/good air permeability/easy maintenance and cleaning, invented by DuPont Company in the United States. The biggest difference with traditional chemical fiber is that the triangle structure/fine fiber is more breathable, softer and more comfortable to wear than the circular structure fiber.
Advantages and disadvantages of microfiber fabric
Microfiber: Generally, the fiber with a size of 0.3 denier (5 micron in diameter) or less is called microfiber. Advantages: The fabric feel is very soft: the fiber fineness can increase the layered structure of silk, increase the specific surface area and capillary effect, so that the fiber internal reflected light distribution on the surface is more delicate, so that it has the elegant luster of silk, and has good moisture absorption and moisture dispersion. Strong cleaning power: Microfiber can absorb dust, particles and liquids up to 7 times its own weight. Disadvantages: As a result of strong adsorption, so superfine fiber products can not be mixed with other items, otherwise it will be stained with a lot of wool and swelling things. Do not use an iron to iron microfiber towels and do not touch hot water above 60 degrees Celsius.
The use of microfiber fabric
Microfibers are very versatile. Textile made with it, after sand-washing, milling and other advanced finishing, the surface of a layer similar to peach fur appearance, and very bulky, soft, smooth, with this fabric made of high-end fashion, jackets, T-shirts, underwear, culoffs and other cool and comfortable, sweat absorption is not close, rich youth beauty; Advanced artificial suede made by superfine fiber abroad has the appearance, feel, style and low price that resembles genuine leather. Because the super fiber is fine and soft, it can be used as a clean cloth with excellent decondution effect. It can wipe all kinds of equipment and has no damage to the mirror. Superfine fiber can also be made into super high density fabric with very smooth surface, used to make skiing, skating, swimming and other sports clothes can reduce resistance, is conducive to athletes to create good results.
At present, the research and development of superfine fiber material has made a major breakthrough and has broad prospects for military use. Some enterprises are developing leather for military clothing, gloves and boots, among which suede leather for military gloves of superfine fiber and veneer leather for military gloves of superfine fiber have passed the inspection of the Quality testing center of Special clothing of the People's Liberation Army of China, and their products have broad prospects for military use.
The difference between microfiber and cotton fiber
1, Ordinary cotton fiber strength is relatively low, after wiping the surface of the object will leave a lot of broken fiber floc. Superfine fiber cloth is a long fiber with high strength and toughness. In the process of use, it basically does not leave fiber floc on the surface of the object, and can absorb various dandruff by virtue of its own micro electrostatic action.
2，When wiping an object, ordinary cotton fabric directly inhales the dust, grease, dirt and other dirt on the surface of the object, which is not easy to remove after being used. After being used for a long time, it will harden and lose elasticity, affecting the use, and superfine fiber fabric can effectively solve the above deficiencies. Because it is only 0.4 microns in diameter, fibre fineness is only 1/20 of the silk, its special wedge cross section, can more effectively capture the dust grains or even a few microns, the dirt adsorption between the fibre (rather than the fibers), plus fiber degree is high, the density is big, very easy to clean after the sticky dirty, unless stained with stubborn oily be soiled, Instead of using any chemical cleansers, use regular laundry soap and gently rub it in warm water.
3, superfine fiber cloth, with advanced weaving technology and finishing technology, so that the fiber of the finished fabric has a standard orange flap section and more layered structure, therefore, its water permeability (including water absorption and water absorption speed) and water retention ability is particularly outstanding. Under normal conditions, the water absorption capacity is 10 times that of cotton products of the same weight, and the water retention is 5 times of its own weight. Under wet conditions, it has better water absorption than dry conditions. Compared with cotton fabric, because of its special fiber properties, there is no proteolysis, so it is difficult for bacteria to survive, even if it is wet for a long time, it does not become moldy, sticky, or smelly. It lasts about five times longer than cotton.
