Functional home textile fabric

Anti-static home textile fabric

In the field of home textiles, synthetic fibers make up for the shortage of natural fibers and are used in large quantities. However, their poor moisture absorption, easy to accumulate static electricity, and textiles made from synthetic fibers are easy to absorb dust and get staining. Besides this, they have poor breathability, and in serious cases can cause electric shock, and even cause a fire. Therefore, people hope that textiles can have antistatic properties, that is, the fabric itself can eliminate static electricity.

What Is Transfer Printing?

Transfer printing refers to a printing system in which dye is first printed on a paper substrate and then transferred from paper to cloth. Most of the dyes used in transfer printing belong to disperse dyes and a few are solvent dyes. Therefore, heat transfer printing is most commonly used in nylon and polyester. It is also used in acrylic, triacetate, and polyester-cotton blended fabrics with a high content of polyester. Although there is a lot of research on heat transfer printing for other fibers, there is no feasible process for actual production.

The knowledge of T-shirt Fabric that Clothing Maker must Know

Terms

What is gram weight?

Gram weight is generally used to indicate the thickness of the fabric. The bigger the gram, the thicker the clothes. T-shirt weight is generally between 160 grams to 220 grams, too thin will be very transparent, and too thick will be muggy, it is better to choose between 180 and 280 grams. (t-shirts with short sleeves are usually 180-220 grams in thickness, while long-sleeved T-shirts generally choose 260 grams of fabric.

What is count?

The number of yards of the length of cotton yarn with a definite weight of one pound. The higher the count, the softer. The T-shirts are usually 21 and 32.
Coarse yarn: Cotton yarn of 18 or less, mainly used for weaving thick fabrics or cotton fabric with pile and loop.
Medium count yarn: pure cotton yarn of 19 to 29 counts. Mainly used for general requirements of knitted clothing.
Fine count yarn: Cotton yarn of 30 to 60 counts. Mainly used for high-grade knitwear.

Factors to consider when choosing infant and toddler clothing

1, Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a volatile compound, usually used as a synthetic reagent for textile anti-wrinkle and anti-shrinkage finishing agents. It can also be used as color fixing agent, water repellent, softener, adhesive, etc. It is also an irritant compound that can cause allergic skin reactions and human respiratory diseases. A small amount of formaldehyde can have an irritating effect on human eyes, skin and mucous membranes, excessive formaldehyde will cause serious inflammation of mucous membrane and respiratory tract, and can also lead to dermatitis. Formaldehyde content ≤ 20mg/kg is required in infant clothing.

Clothing Technology: the Basic Way of Printing

The basic ways of printing include direct printing, discharge printing and resist printing.

Direct Printing

Direct printing is a kind of printing directly on white fabric or on pre-dyed fabric. The latter is called overprint. Of course the color of the printing pattern is much darker than the background color. A large number of common printing methods are direct printing.

If the background color of the fabric is white or mostly white, and the printing pattern looks lighter from the back than from the front, then we can determine that this is a directly printed fabric (note: this method coul dnot be used for light and thin fabric for the strong penertration of the printing paste.)

If the background color of the fabric is the same (due to matching dyeing), and the printing pattern is much darker than the background color, then this is the overprint fabric.
