"How to distinguish the fabric of clothes"
Which fabrics are easy to pilling, static electricity? Why is cotton comfortable to wear? Why do people like to wear linen in summer? What is the difference between polyester, acrylic and nylon? Today we teach you how to distinguish the fabric of clothes!
01 Characteristics of common chemical fibers
Polyester: Good strength, easy static electricity
Polyester feels like cotton, but the material is crisp, wrinkle resistant and washable. In terms of output, polyester is definitely the big brother in chemical fiber, when China's early chemical industry was underdeveloped, there was a shirt very hot, in fact, polyester shirt. Polyester products are very lack of affinity with the human body, and at present, polyester fabrics are often used to make a variety of feel blankets and carpets.
Nylon: strong and wear-resistant, easy static electricity
Nylon is a relatively early chemical fiber in the world, and it is a relatively strong and wear-resistant variety of chemical fiber. According to its characteristics, women's leggings are used more, generally mixed with spandex (elastic fiber). The disadvantage is that it is easy to deform under small external force, so its fabric is easy to wrinkle during wearing; Poor ventilation, easy to produce static electricity.
Acrylic: the "wool" of chemical fibers
Acrylic fabric, known as synthetic wool, is a high-grade fiber in chemical fibers. Its performance is very similar to wool, good elasticity, elongation of 20% when the rebound rate can still maintain 65%, fluffy curly and soft, warm 15% higher than wool, but the cost is far lower than wool.
Many wool fabrics are now made of acrylic fibers. Acrylic fiber is generally used as a knitted sweater more, can be pure spinning can also be blended, made into a variety of wool, blankets, sportswear.
Vinylon: the "cotton" in chemical fiber
Vinylon is known as "synthetic cotton", which is a relatively large variety of hygroscopicity in synthetic fibers, with a hygroscopicity of 4.5% to 5%, close to cotton (8%). Now the popular silk fillings are often vinylon.
Polypropylene: light and warm, non-moisture absorption
Polypropylene fiber is the lighter fiber in the common chemical fiber. Because it does not absorb moisture, it can be used to make diapers and mosquito nets.
Spandex: Built for elasticity
Spandex, commonly known as Lycra cotton, is a chemical fiber with good elasticity and poor strength. Spandex is a high elastic fiber that is necessary for the pursuit of dynamic and convenient high-performance clothing. It is comfortable to wear, feels soft, and does not wrinkle, and can always maintain the original outline. Spandex uses its characteristics to be widely used in underwear, underwear, casual wear, sportswear, socks and other textile fields.
02 How to distinguish the fabric of clothes
(1) By observation and touch:
1, pure cotton: cloth luster soft, soft feel, poor elasticity, easy to wrinkle. Pinch the cloth tightly with the hand after loosening, visible creases, and the crease is not easy to restore the original state. Pull out a few warp and weft yarn from the edge of the cloth and twist it to see that the length of the fiber is different.
2, viscose cotton (including artificial cotton, rich fiber cloth) : cloth luster soft and bright, bright colors, smooth and smooth, soft feel, poor elasticity. If you loosen the cloth after pinching it by hand, you can see obvious creases, and the creases are not easy to recover.
3, polyester cotton: the luster is brighter than pure cotton, the cloth surface is flat, clean without yarn head or impurities. Feel smooth, crisp, elasticity is better than pure cotton. Hand pinch the cloth after loosening, the crease is not obvious, and easy to return to the original state.
4. Woollen worsted wool: the surface of the fabric is smooth and smooth, and the weave is fine and clear. Soft and natural luster, pure color. Feel soft and elastic. With the hand pinch the surface to loosen, the crease is not obvious, and can quickly return to the original state. The yarn is mostly double.
5, pure woolen woolen: the face is full, the texture is tight and thick. The surface has fine fluff, and the weave is generally not revealed. Feel warm, plump and elastic. The yarns are mostly thick single yarns.
6, wool-polyester blended wool: appearance with pure wool fabric style. The surface weave is clear, smooth and smooth, and the feel is not as soft as the pure wool fabric, with a stiff and rough feeling, and the elasticity is more than the whole wool and wool viscose. Pinch the cloth surface tightly with your hand and release it, and the crease quickly returns to its original state.
7. Wool-fine blended woollen: mostly worsted. Strong wool feeling, woolen style, warm feeling. Not as elastic as wool polyester.
8. Wool and brocade blended wool: smooth surface, strong wool feeling, waxy luster appearance, stiff feel. Hand pinch cloth after release, there is obvious crease, can slowly return to the original state.
9, pure silk: silk surface is smooth and clean, soft luster, bright and pure color. Feel smooth, soft, light and elegant appearance. Under dry conditions, the silk surface has a sense of holding hands, and "silk chirping" when torn.
10, viscose silk fabric (human silk) : silk luster bright but not soft, bright colors, feel smooth, soft, drape strong, but not as light and elegant as real silk. When the silk is released after hand kneading, there are creases and the recovery is slow. Hoarse when torn. The warp and weft are easy to break when wet with water.
(2) by burning
cotton
Close to the flame, do not shrink or melt. Contact flame, burning quickly, flame orange, blue smoke. Get out of the fire and keep burning. The burnt paper tastes less ash and is linear. The dust is fine and soft, light gray, easy to turn into powder by hand.
hemp
Ibid., less ash, light gray, or gray white, easy to powder by hand.
silk
Close to the flame, crinkling does not melt. Contact the flame and burn slowly. Remove yourself from the flame and extinguish yourself. The flame is orange and small. A small, flavorful dark brown ball that burns feathers or hair and becomes powdery when touched.
Close to the flame, curling without melting. Contact flame, smoke burning, bubbles. Get out of the fire and keep burning. Sometimes self-extinguishing, flame orange.
Burnt feathers or burnt hair have a lot of smelling ash, forming a shiny amorphous black mass that is easy to turn into ash when touched by the hand.
Viscose glue
Close to the flame, burning quickly, orange flame burning paper smell less ash, dark gray or light gray.
terylene
Close to the flame, first shrink, then melt. Contact flame, melt burning. Get out of the fire and keep burning. The flame is yellowish-white and bright, with a line of black smoke at the top. Special aromatic, dark brown amorphous lump or small ball, can be crushed with fingers.
