Chemical fiber is also called chemical fiber. Chemical fiber is widely used in both chemical industry and clothing field. The chemical fiber mentioned here refers to pure fiber and generally does not include blends of natural fiber and chemical fiber. Many people may not have a clear idea of chemical fibers, so I will introduce chemical fabrics around the types of chemical fibers and their advantages and disadvantages.
Types of chemical fiber fabrics:
According to the source of raw materials, chemical fiber fabrics mainly include recycled fibers and synthetic fibers.
According to shape, it can be divided into textured yarn, filament yarn, composite fiber, heterosexual fiber and short fiber.
According to the purpose of use, it can be divided into ordinary fiber and special fiber.
Advantages of chemical fiber fabrics:
Chemical fiber fabrics are generally polymer fabrics, so the density of the fabric is higher and the ability to resist impact is stronger, so the fabric is stronger and can be made into clothes. It has very good wear resistance.
Because clothing made of chemical fiber fabrics has good wrinkle resistance, it can be kept flat without ironing after cleaning, and it does not take much time to take care of the clothes.
Chemical fiber fabrics are generally mass-produced by factories in the form of assembly lines. The cost of raw materials is also very low, so the production cost of chemical fiber is very low.
Chemical fiber imitates natural fiber, so it has some characteristics of natural fiber, mainly reflected in hygroscopicity and comfort. The performance of some chemical fiber fabrics even exceeds that of natural fiber.
With the continuous improvement of textile processing technology, the performance of chemical fiber fabrics has been improved a lot, especially in terms of antibacterial, radiation and wear resistance.
Disadvantages of chemical fiber fabrics:
The softness and comfort of chemical fiber fabrics are far inferior to natural fabrics such as cotton, linen and silk. The price will also be much cheaper than natural fabrics.
Due to its molecular structure, chemical fiber fabrics are prone to generate static electricity. Wearing static-charged fabrics for a long time will affect human health.
The adsorption is poor and the fusion with silk and other fabrics is not strong. The clothes will “separate” after being worn for a long time, affecting the overall beauty of the clothes.
