Liquid ammonia cotton is a cotton fabric that has been treated with liquid ammonia. Liquid ammonia is a fabric finishing method, which refers to placing the fabric after it is formed. Treatment in liquid ammonia can effectively improve the organizational structure of cotton fabrics and enhance the fabric’s feel, fiber toughness and wrinkle resistance.
Characteristics of liquid ammonia cotton
Because liquid ammonia is smaller than water molecules, it can quickly enter the cotton fiber structure, changing the internal molecular structure of the cotton fiber. Changes have occurred. The structure and crystallinity of cotton fibers treated with liquid ammonia have undergone fundamental changes. At the same time, the mechanical strength of the fabric has also changed.It can effectively improve the wear resistance of fabrics and improve the wearing life!
Fabrics treated with liquid ammonia will feel smoother, because liquid ammonia has strong corrosive properties and can burn away the hair balls on the surface of the fabric, thereby making the fabric overall The feel has been greatly improved!
Cotton fibers that have not been treated with liquid ammonia will have many cells. In this way, the toughness of the cotton fiber will be very poor and it will break easily. However, the cross-section of the cotton fiber after liquid ammonia treatment changes from elliptical to circular, the cell wall thickens, and the gaps inside the molecules gradually shrink!
For fabrics treated with liquid ammonia, the overall structure of the fiber changes and the anti-wrinkle performance also changes. Improved so that fabrics that were prone to wrinkles now won’t!
