The raw materials for ultrafine fiber fabrics mainly include polyester and nylon. In China, the composition of ultrafine fibers is usually 80% polyester and 20% nylon, and there are also products made from 100% polyester. In addition, ultrafine fibers can also be made from other synthetic fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile.
Definition and characteristics of ultrafine fibers:
Definition: Microfiber refers to chemical fibers with a single fineness of less than 0.44 dtex. Fibers with a fineness of 0.3 denier (diameter 5 microns) or less are usually referred to as ultrafine fibers.
Characteristics: Due to its extremely fine fineness, ultrafine fibers greatly reduce the stiffness of the fibers, resulting in a very soft feel when made into fabrics. It has a large specific surface area and excellent hygroscopicity, hydrophobicity, and anti fouling properties. After advanced finishing, ultrafine fiber fabrics have a surface appearance similar to peach skin fuzz, with elegant luster and good breathability.
The application fields of ultrafine fibers are very wide, including:
Clothing: Used for making high-end fashion, jackets, t-shirts, underwear, skirts, pants, etc., it has the characteristics of comfort, beauty, warmth, breathability, etc.
Home goods: Used for making high-end artificial suede, clean cloth, etc., with excellent stain removal effect and soft touch.
Sports clothing: Used to make ski suits, swimsuits, etc., reducing resistance and helping athletes achieve good results.
Medical and health: Used for making medical supplies, with excellent moisture absorption and cleaning effects.
