Polylactic Acid (PLA) fiber (Part Two)
Disadvantages of PLA Fiber Polylactic acid contains a large number of ester bonds that has poor hydrophilicity, reducing its biocompatibility with other substances. Polylactic acid itself is linear polymer, so that the strength of polylactic acid material usually cannot meet the requirements. It...Read more -
Polylactic Acid (PLA) fiber (One)
Characteristics of PLA Fiber 1. Biodegradability PLA fiber has good biodegradability, which can be completely decomposed into CO2 and H2O in nature after being discarded. And through photosynthesis, the CO2 and H2O can be transformed into the raw material of lactic acid, as starch. If PLA fibers ...Read more -
Kapok Fiber
Chemical Composition Kapok fiber contains about 64% cellulose, 13% xylogen, 8.6% water, 1.4~3.5% ash, 4.7~9.7% water-soluble substances, 2.3~2.5% xylan and 0.8% wax. The degree of polymerization of kapok fiber is about 10,000, which is comparable to that of cotton fiber. Chemical Property Kapok ...Read more -
Which Fabrics Both Have Excellent Breathability and Moisture Absorption?
Natural Fiber Fabrics Flax fabric: It is the “breathable king” of summer fabrics. For its unique cavity structure inside the fiber, it can quickly breathe air and drain sweat. Its moisture absorption is much better than that of cotton. And it is quick-drying, which can keep the skin ...Read more -
What Are the Differences in the Raw Material Sources of Artificial Fibers and Synthetic Fibers?
The raw material of artificial fiber is natural cellulose or protein, which is obtained through chemical processing and remolding of natural polymer compounds. The raw material of synthetic fiber is polymer compounds industrially synthesized, such as in petrochemicals. It is made entirely through...Read more -
The Common Artificial Fiber
Artifical fiber is made of high-molecular substances, as natural cellulose or natural protein which can be made into chemical fibers by chemical treatment and mechanical processing. It is also called regenerated fiber. Viscose fiber fabric: It is a type of artificial fiber fabric made from natu...Read more -
What Is Hemp Fiber?
1. Hemp fiber is the softest and finest one among all fibrilia. Its fineness is only one third of that of ramie, which is close to that of cotton. The hemp fiber top is obtuse, which is not so keen-edged as ramie or flax. Thus hemp fabric is very soft and comfortable without itchy handle. 2. Th...Read more -
Polyester Four-sided Elastic Fabric

It is a popular fabric that combines functionality and practicality in the textile industry, which is widely applied in garments, home textile and industries, etc. Advantages Excellent and even elasti...Read more -
Air Conditioning Fiber fabric
At the very beginning, air conditioning fiber was developed for manufacturing spacesuits. Its most distinctive feature is that it can actively adjust the temperature of clothes based on people’s body temperature. The secret lies in the fact that this kind of fiber contains millions of phase...Read more -
The Action Principle of Dispersing Agent
The Function of Dispersing Agent The functions of dispersing agent is to use wetting dispersing agent to reduce the time and energy required to complete the dispersing process, stabilize the dispersed dye dispersion, modify the surface properties of dye particles and adjust the mobility of dye pa...Read more -
Modal Lycra
Modal Lycra is a textile fabric combining modal fiber with lycra elastic fiber. Modal fiber has good skin-friendliness, softness, moisture absorption and breathability. Its luster, dyeing performance and color fastness all are better than those of cotton. Lycra is a kind of polyester elastic fibe...Read more -
The Influence of Moisture Regain on the Comfort of Clothes
The moisture regain of fabrics directly determines the wearing comfort of the clothing. The core influences are mainly on three factors: moisture absorption and breathability, body sensible temperature and fabric handle. Moisture absorption and breathability Moderate moisture regain (such as cot...Read more
