Fabric Knowledge -- Soft And Warm Kapok Fiber Fabric

Kapok fiber has an unparalleled "soft and warm" feature, making it widely used in underwear, sweaters, T-Shirts, shirts, denim, and woolen fabrics. clothing Ski shirts, socks and bedding, mattresses, sheets, bedspreads, linen blankets, blankets, pillowcases, cushions, face towels, bath towels, bathrobes and other home textiles products. The kapok fiber fabric has good affinity to human skin and delicate touch. After exposure to sunlight, it is not only soft and fluffy, but also natural fragrance. In addition, this material cloth And degradable, favorable environment is the best choice for modern social life.

Kapok fiber is a natural plant fiber. It is not easy to be soaked by water. It has good air permeability, natural antibacterial and no moth. This fiber is short and soft, without twisting. It is a lightweight and hollow fiber material, far exceeding artificial fibers and any other natural materials. It has high pressure resistance, high thermal insulation, light weight and no burden. Kapok fibers have poor spinnability and are generally difficult to spin. It can be used to blend fabrics with cotton, viscose or other cellulose fibers, and can make fabrics with good gloss and good feel. Like a famous Japanese company. Spin The company launched in 2003 the kapok and cotton blended fabrics, the kapok content is 30% to 50%, and the blended yarn has 73 tex, 58.3 tex and 29 tex three kinds. The company also developed a mixture of polyester filament and nylon filament for warp, kapok and cotton blended yarns. These cotton fabrics are mainly used for making women's lightweight short coat, shirts and dresses, and men's tops. At present, a company in Shanghai uses its patented technology to spin 18.2 to 27.8 tex kapok blended yarn, and kapok fiber content can reach 70%. It can make kapok fiber widely used in knitted underwear, sweater, sweater, woven casual wear, socks and other clothing manufacturing areas.

In the past, kapok fibers failed to be widely used in these fields due to the fact that kapok fiber is too thin, bending stiffness is low, compression elasticity is poor, and the filling material is easily flattened and felt. With the passing of time, the softness and warmth of the products will decay rapidly, and the holes will be broken partially when the sheets are low. In recent years, the manufacturing technology of durable soft and warm kapok flakes has been developed successfully, that is, the strength, compression elasticity and durability of the kapok flakes produced by this technology can be comparable to the current seven hole and eight hole polyester floc, but it has the advantages of softness, moisture absorption, moisture permeability, air permeability and green environmental protection.
