Introduction to functional fabrics

Functional fabrics refer to fabrics with certain special properties and uses, such as waterproof, windproof, breathable, moisture-permeable, warmth, oil-proof, easy to decontaminate, anti-bacterial and deodorant, anti-ultraviolet, anti-static, anti-radiation, anti-block Fire resistance, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance and other functions. The functional fabrics on the market are mainly apparel fabrics, which are mostly used in outdoor sportswear and high-end casual wear. Among the new functional textile materials, polyester fiber is the most developed synthetic fiber.

Functional fabrics are mainly obtained by two methods: functional fiber weaving method and functional auxiliary agent padding method. The functional fiber manufacturing method refers to the use of high-performance fibers with special functions in the yarn spinning stage, such as "carbon fiber, aramid, aramid, high-strength vinylon, High-strength and high-modulus polyethylene, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polybenzobisoxazole (PBO) and other high-performance fibers", among which aramid fiber has high temperature resistance, flame retardancy and high toughness, and can be made into various protective clothing, fire protection Clothing and bulletproof clothing, etc. Functional additives padding method refers to the use of advanced coating technology to coat different chemical raw materials on the cloth surface to make it have special functions such as waterproof, flame retardant, antistatic, and strength enhancement. Commonly used coating materials include PU (polyurethane) coating, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating and PA (polyacrylate) coating.
