Knowledge of Fabrics with Different Composition and Construction

TENCEL fabric

Tencel, a new type of viscose fiber, also known as LYOCELL viscose fiber, is marketed as Tencel. Tencel is produced by solvent spinning technology based on ammonium oxide, which is completely different from the previous viscose fiber production method. Because the solvent can be recycled and is ecologically sound, it is also known as the viscose fiber of the 21st century. Tencel is composed of fiber diesel, which is produced from trees in nature.

The main characteristics of Tencel are that its wet strength is higher than that of cotton fibers, and its wet modulus is also higher than that of cotton. It has good moisture absorption of viscose fibers and high strength like synthetic fibers. Tencel fabric has good dimensional stability, low shrinkage after washing, and is soft with a silky luster. When there is temperature, tencel fabric will expand. It is like a barrier, which can prevent the intrusion of rain, water, and snow while still maintaining its breathability. Clothing made of Tencel is soft and comfortable to wear, and can be cleaned in various ways. It remains soft and does not deform. Hand wash, do not use bleach, air dry, do not wring.

Composite fabric

Composite fabric is a kind of ultra-fine fiber in a specific textile processing and unique dyeing and finishing, and then processed by the "composite" equipment. Composite fabrics use high-tech and new materials from "new synthetic fibers", which have many excellent properties (compared to ordinary synthetic fibers), such as fine, delicate, elegant, and warm fabric performance, full and windproof appearance, breathability, and certain waterproof functions, and good warmth retention of the fabric.

Due to the use of ultra-fine fibers in the composite fabric, it has high cleaning ability. Another characteristic of this fabric is its good wear resistance. The ultra-fine fiber fabric has a soft, breathable, and moisture permeable feel, so it has obvious advantages in terms of tactile and physiological comfort. The wrinkle resistance of ultrafine fiber fabrics is poor. In order to overcome this disadvantage, a "composite" process was adopted, which greatly improved the poor wrinkle resistance of ultrafine fiber fabrics. Composite fabric is currently a popular outerwear fabric in Europe and America.

T/R fabric

T/R fabric is a polyester viscose blend fabric. Polyester viscose blend is a highly complementary blend. Polyester adhesive not only has cotton and wool types, but also medium length types. When polyester is not less than 50%, this blended fabric can maintain the firmness, wrinkle resistance, size stability, and strong washability and wearability of polyester. The addition of adhesive fibers improves the breathability of the fabric and enhances its resistance to melt holes; Reduced the pilling and anti-static properties of the fabric.

Polyester/viscose blend ratio is commonly used at 65/35 or 67/33. Polyester/rich blend is the same as polyester/viscose. The characteristics of this type of blended fabric are smooth and smooth fabric, bright colors, strong woolen texture, good hand elasticity, and good moisture absorption; But the heat resistance is poor.

High density NC fabric

High density NC fabric is a type of fabric that uses a blend or interweaving of nylon and cotton yarn, with a high warp and weft density and generally adopts a flat weave. This product combines the advantages of nylon and cotton yarn. Nylon ranks first in terms of wear resistance among natural fibers and chemical fibers. Nylon has good moisture absorption, and its wearing comfort and dyeing performance are better than polyester. Therefore, blending or interweaving nylon with cotton yarn will not reduce the moisture absorption and wearing comfort of cotton yarn. Nylon is lighter, while cotton yarn is heavier. When interwoven or blended, the weight of the fabric can be reduced. Nylon has excellent elasticity, and when mixed or interwoven with cotton yarn, it enhances the elasticity of the fabric.

The disadvantage of NC fabric is that due to the involvement of nylon in interweaving or blending, the fabric has poor heat and light resistance. During use, attention should be paid to washing and ironing to meet the conditions to avoid damage. Its prominent style features are: not easily worn, soft and comfortable, and easy to clean. Do not expose to direct sunlight or wring dry.

TNC fabric

This fabric uses high-tech fibers, namely super fibers (nylon, polyester) and high count cotton yarn composite, which is a new popular fabric woven with three in one composite fibers. This fabric combines the characteristics of polyester, nylon, and cotton yarn, combining the advantages of the three fibers. It has good wear resistance, good elasticity recovery rate, good strength, delicate and smooth hand feel, comfortable and breathable, novel style, and uniqueness, making it an ideal clothing fabric. Can be dry cleaned, not wrung dry.
