So spoiled for choice! Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of functional home textile materials

The finer the fiber

Generally, fibers with a fineness of 0.3 denier (5 microns in diameter) or less are called ultrafine fibers.

Advantages: The fabric feels extremely soft: fine fibers can increase the layered structure of the silk, increase the specific surface area and capillary effect, and make the reflected light inside the fiber more delicately distributed on the surface, giving it an elegant silk-like luster and good Hygroscopic and hygroscopic. Strong cleaning power: Microfiber can absorb dust, particles and liquids 7 times its own weight.

Disadvantages: Due to strong adsorption, microfiber products cannot be mixed with other items, otherwise they will be stained with a lot of hair and bloating. Microfiber towels cannot be ironed with an iron and cannot be exposed to hot water above 60 degrees.

Milk fiber

Milk fiber is refined from milk as the basic raw material through high-tech production technology. It is a new type of animal protein fiber that is different from natural fiber, regenerated fiber and synthetic fiber. It is also called milk silk and milk protein fiber.

Advantages: Compared with traditional cashmere: softness is equal to or better than cashmere; breathable, moisture conductive, and refreshing; warmth retention is close to cashmere, good warmth retention; milk wool has the same wear resistance, pilling resistance, coloring, and strength Better than cashmere; Unique skin-friendliness: Since milk protein contains amino acids, the skin will not reject this fabric, which is equivalent to a layer of human skin, and has a protective effect on the skin.

Disadvantages: The price of raw materials is relatively high; milk fiber has two types: filament and short fiber. Currently, the output of filament is small and the price is expensive. Due to the higher cost, the price of milk fiber products is naturally higher.

Bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber is a green, ecological and environmentally friendly fiber extracted from bamboo through high-tech means. The main component of bamboo (lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose) is type A cellulose. It is mainly used for high-end fabrics. middle.

Advantages: Bamboo fiber products have antibacterial and antibacterial functions: they can inhibit harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus; health care functions: no mold, no smell, no stickiness; moisture absorption and release functions: water absorption and breathability to automatically adjust human body humidity Balanced, always keeping soft, refreshing and bright; Deodorizing adsorption function: can absorb formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ammonia and other harmful substances, and eliminate bad odors; Heat storage and warmth function: Bamboo fiber far infrared emissivity is as high as 0.87, heat storage and warmth Much better than traditional home textile fabrics.

Disadvantages: Bamboo fiber is not very strong due to its inherent fiber characteristics, so its fastness is not very good.

Wood fiber

Wood fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from high-quality natural trees as raw materials. It is processed through a special high-tech process to extract the cellulose in the trees, and then goes through processes such as glue making and spinning.

Advantages: Both wood fiber and bamboo fiber products have antibacterial, antibacterial and deodorant effects, but compared to bamboo fiber, wood fiber has stronger antibacterial properties because the characteristics of adult cork are not conducive to bacterial growth, plus irregular The natural gaps have super hydrophilic properties, which can quickly absorb the water on the surface of the fabric into the interior of the fiber, effectively competing with bacteria for water, and because of its super breathable properties, the water can quickly evaporate, drying the surface of the fabric and causing bacteria to grow. The surface of the fabric does not get the moisture needed for survival and reproduction, and the conditions for survival and reproduction are lost.

Disadvantages: Due to the relatively hard fiber properties of wood fiber, it is easy to twist the wood fibers inside when using wood fiber products, which will greatly reduce its lifespan.

Silk and linen fiber

It combines the styles of silk and linen. Delayed molding technology gives the fiber cross-section a cavity structure, which changes the softness of ordinary viscose, improves the body feel of the fiber, gives the fabric good crispness, and reflects the style characteristics of some linen fabrics. The embedding of silk protein and the formation of rounded “petal” cross-sections give silk and linen fabrics a good gloss effect, reflecting a silk-like luster. The silk protein is evenly distributed on the fiber surface, making the fabric silky and smooth.

The advantages are: the fabric is relatively high-end, has the appearance of natural linen fabric, and has the advantage of being crisp. Due to the addition of mulberry silk, it has better breathability.

Disadvantages are: color difference is prone to occur, shrinkage is unstable, color fastness is poor, and dry cleaning is required.
