Characteristics of tencel fabric

Tencel is a pure natural regenerative fiber, is the British Acordis company to extract 100% natural wood pulp from eucalyptus as raw materials developed, known as the "21st century fiber dream." Its characteristics: softer feeling than silk; Better hygroscopicity than cotton; Light and easy to wash and dry.

"Tencel" is the Chinese transliteration of the English word "tencel", but in Chinese newspapers and magazines, it is generally called "chi". Tencel is a new creature. The word Tencel is not found in Shanghai Translation Publishing House's 1993 edition of the New English-Chinese Dictionary (Supplement) and China Textile Publishing House's 1995 edition of the English-Chinese Glossary of Textile Industry (continuing volume). Internationally, the popularity of Tencel began in the early 1990s, and the domestic development began in the second half of the 1990s, and it was popular in the domestic market in the late 1990s.

Tencel is a product of Iyocell fiber (Iyocell is cellulose fiber produced by spinning in organic solvents, and the International Man-made and Synthetic Fiber Standards Bureau has determined its generic name). Tencel is manufactured and patented by the British company Courtualds. Therefore, only the Iyocell fiber produced by Courtaur Porcelain Company can be called Tencel. Similarly, only products containing Tencel approved by the company may use the Tencel name or carry Tencel tags.

Tencel is strong and can be used as an industrial fiber with the comfort of cotton, silk-like feel and good drapiness. It is the only new type of fiber in the world that integrates the advantages of fiber and natural fiber. As soon as Tencel appeared, it attracted countless textile manufacturers and clothing manufacturers who paid attention to the development of new fabrics, and became a very frequently used fiber name recently. In the production process, Tencel causes little pollution to the environment, so it is also known as the "green fiber of the 21st century".

Tencel currently has the following specifications:

Fineness: 1.4dex, 1.7dex, 2.4dex, 3.3dex

Average length: 38mm 51mm (suitable for cotton spinning, medium length spinning) 60mm 80mm (suitable for wool spinning system)

There are two types of tencel: one is the standard type (G100), which is fibrillated tencel, and the other is A100, which is called non-fibrillated tencel.

Silky feel and good drape. It is the only new type of fiber in the world that integrates the advantages of adult fiber and natural fiber. As soon as Tencel appeared, it attracted countless textile manufacturers and clothing manufacturers who paid attention to the development of new fabrics, and became a very frequently used fiber name recently. In the production process, Tencel causes little pollution to the environment, so it is also known as the "green fiber of the 21st century".

The characteristics of Modal fabric

The raw material of Modal fiber is from the bush of Europe, made of thumb slurry after a special spinning process, is a cellulose fiber, so it is the same as cotton cellulose fiber, is a pure natural fiber.

Modal products because of its own has a very good softness and excellent moisture absorption, but its fabric crisp poor characteristics, now mostly used in the production of underwear. Modal's knitwear is mainly used in underwear. However, Modal has a silver luster, excellent dyeability and bright color after dyeing characteristics, enough to make it used as a garment. Because of this, Modal is increasingly used as a material for outerwear and its decorative cloth.

In order to improve the poor crisp quality of Modal products, Modal can be blended with other fibers, and can achieve good results. JM/C(50/50) can remedy this shortcoming. The more you wash, the brighter it gets.

Modal is close to polyester strength (35cn/tec), wet strength is slightly lower than cotton, soft and smooth, silky feeling, wet elongation is small, the dry elongation of the fiber is between cotton and viscose, its wet elongation is about the same as cotton, but less than viscose; The washing shrinkage rate is low, its good moisture absorption capacity is 50 percent higher than cotton, and the moisture absorption rate is extremely fast. The dyeing characteristics of Modal fiber, its pigment absorption rate is faster than that of combed cotton, and the absorption rate is high, and the color is bright after dyeing; Good air permeability.

Fine denier Modal fiber meets the requirements of ECO-TEX standard, is physiologically harmless and biodegradable. It has particular advantages for textiles that are in direct contact with the body, and the fine denier fibers give the knitted fabric comfortable wearing properties, soft feel, flowing drdriness, attractive shine and high moisture absorption.

Because of this, many warp and weft manufacturers have begun to use the fiber as a raw material for the production of day wear and pajamas, sportswear and casual wear, but also for lace. Calcium fabric with its intimate clothing, has a particularly ideal effect, so that your skin can often maintain a dry and comfortable feeling, even after cleaning, can still maintain a water absorption and soft feeling, which depends on the smooth surface of the material surface, to avoid the fabric in the cleaning process of entanglement.

Characteristics of bamboo fiber fabric

Bamboo fiber yarn raw materials selected from the south of the high-quality mountain bamboo fiber, the use of bamboo pulp fiber production of short yarn yarn, a green product, with the raw material made of cotton yarn production of knitted fabrics and clothing, has a distinct style from cotton, wood cellulose fiber: Wear resistance, no pilling, high moisture absorption, quick drying, high air permeability, drapery, feel smooth blended fabric woven with this yarn, make the cotton fiber more flexible, and improve the appearance of the fabric.

Modal can also reflect its weavability in the weaving process of woven fabrics, and can also be interwoven with other fibers to weave a variety of fabrics. Modal products have broad development prospects in modern clothing and apparel.

Modal fiber has the following main characteristics:

1. The raw material of Modal fiber comes from natural wood and can be naturally degraded after use.

2.Modal fiber fineness is 1dtex, while cotton fiber fineness is 1.5 "2.5tex and silk fineness is 1.3dtex.

3.Modal fiber soft, smooth, beautiful color, fabric feel particularly smooth, bright and shiny cloth, overhang is better than the existing cotton, polyester, rayon, silky luster and feel, is a natural mercerized fabric.

4 Modal fiber has the strength and toughness of synthetic fiber, dry strength of 35.6cn, wet strength of 25.3cn. The strength is higher than pure cotton and polyester cotton, which reduces the phenomenon of broken head in processing.

5. The moisture absorption capacity of Modal fiber is 50% higher than that of cotton fiber, which makes Modal fiber fabric keep dry and breathable. It is an ideal close-fitting fabric and health clothing product, which is conducive to the victory cycle and health of the human body.

6.Modal fiber has good morphological and dimensional stability compared with cotton fiber, and the fabric has natural wrinkle resistance and non-ironing property, making it more convenient and natural to wear.

7.Modal fiber has good dyeing performance and remains bright as new after repeated washing, and thorough moisture absorption, good color fastness, compared with pure cotton, wearing more comfortable, without the shortcomings of pure cotton clothing easy to fade and yellow.

Therefore, the fabric is colorful, the fabric is stable, and the cotton fabric is washed 25 times, and the feel will be harder and harder. The Modal fiber fabric is on the contrary, the more washed the softer, greasy plump, such as silk soft, anti-mold anti-moth antibacterial, wearing cool and comfortable beauty skin care effect. Excellent dyeing performance, bright luster, and has good natural antibacterial effect and environmental protection, conform to the trend of modern people's pursuit of health and comfort.

In particular, the blending of bamboo fiber and other kinds of fiber can reflect the performance of other fibers and give full play to the characteristics of bamboo fiber, bringing new characteristics to knitted fabrics. Pure spun, blended yarn (with tencel, modal, sweat polyester, negative oxygen ion polyester, corn fiber, cotton, acrylic fiber and other fibers for different kinds of different proportions of blending), is the first choice of knitted fabrics, in the fashion, bamboo fiber fabric spring and summer wear effect is better.
