Every fabric has its advantages and disadvantages, and nothing is perfect. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of various fabric characteristics I have compiled for you. Welcome to read, I hope you will like it.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of various fabric characteristics?

Cotton: excellent: good comfort, soft feel and strong sweat absorption.

Lack: poor durability, poor elasticity, fading and shrinking, easy to wrinkle.

Hemp: excellent: good comfort, good air permeability and affordable price.

Deficiencies: itchy skin, poor elasticity and fading.

Wool: excellent: good comfort, not easy to wrinkle and good elasticity.

Deficiencies: itchy skin, easy to mold, easy to eat by mistake.

Polyester: silk, good elasticity, high strength and smooth surface;

Excellent: Good comfort and flexibility.

Shortcomings: Strong wrinkling, easy to rot and shrink.

Rayon: metallic luster, rough and difficult to handle.

Silk: The luster is quiet, bright but not dazzling, soft and elastic, and it is not easy to wrinkle.

How to distinguish rayon, silk and polyester?

Rayon is bright, slightly rough and hard to the touch, and wet and cold to the touch. Hold it tightly with your hands, and when you loosen it, there are many wrinkles, and there are still wrinkles after flattening. When pulling out, use the tongue end to wet it, which is easy to break when straightening. The elasticity is different when wet and dry.

Silk is soft in luster, soft to the touch and delicate in texture. When rubbing together, it can make a special sound, commonly known as "silk sound" or "silk sound". If you hold it tightly with your hand, it will be released, and the wrinkles are few and not obvious. Silk products have the same dry and wet elasticity.

Polyester filament has strong reflection, high rigidity, quick rebound, stiffness, good wrinkle resistance, strong strength and not easy to break.

Is cotton/polyester fabric the same as polyester/cotton fabric?

Polyester-cotton and cotton-polyester fabrics are blended from polyester and cotton fibers, but they are by no means the same fabric. Cotton/polyester is a blended fabric with cotton fiber as the main component and polyester as the auxiliary component. Polyester cotton is mainly polyester, supplemented by cotton, and the blending ratio is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. Cotton/polyester/cotton fabric is not as strong, wear-resistant and stiff as polyester/cotton fabric, but it has better moisture absorption performance and the same price as pure cotton fabric.

Extension and continuation

Fabric | A large collection of advantages and disadvantages of common fabrics

I. Cotton

1, pure cotton

All made of cotton, mainly used to make fashion, casual wear, underwear and shirts.

Advantages: easy to keep warm, soft and close-fitting, strong hygroscopicity, good air permeability, heat and alkali resistance, clean and hygienic.

Disadvantages: easy to shrink, wrinkle and pilling, and the appearance is not stiff and unsightly. It must be ironed frequently.

2. Polyester cotton

Compared with pure cotton, it is blended, that is, polyester and pure cotton blended.

Advantages: soft and not easy to wrinkle.

Disadvantages: Poor hygroscopicity, and easier pilling compared with "worsted cotton".

3. Ice cotton

Excellent summer fabrics. It adds a layer of coating on cotton cloth, and the color is mainly monochromatic, including white, military green, light pink, light brown and so on. Suitable for ladies to make dresses, cropped trousers, shirts, etc.

Advantages: smooth and cool feel, light and waterproof fabric, cool and comfortable, soft and breathable, non-shrinking, naturally wrinkled surface and unique wearing style.

Disadvantages: Ice cotton is as afraid of insects as pure cotton, and it is easy to get moldy in humid environment, which will seriously affect the beauty of fabrics, so we should pay attention to the daily care and maintenance of ice cotton fabrics.

4. Combed cotton

Pure cotton products are easier to weave and handle.

Advantages: the fabric can prevent pilling to the maximum extent.

Disadvantages: Dark combed cotton may fade after washing. Another disadvantage is that its price will be much higher than that of pure cotton.

5, washed cotton

This is made of cotton, and the quality is very good. The washed cotton cloth has a uniform layer of plush on its surface, which has a unique style.

Advantages: soft to the touch, soft in luster and tone, non-ironing, not easy to deform and fade after washing, and slight wrinkles add a little old material.

Disadvantages: products made of washed cotton are easy to be scattered and deformed after a long time.

6. Lycra cotton

Lycra was added to the cotton cloth. Lycra is an artificial elastic fiber exclusively invented and produced by DuPont. Lycra can stretch 4 to 7 times freely, and can quickly return to its original length after external force is released. It cannot be used alone, but it can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fiber. Its extraordinary stretching and recovery performance greatly increases the color of all fabrics.

Advantages: comfortable fit, free movement, unique and super wrinkle recovery ability, durable clothes without deformation.

Disadvantages: harmful to human body. Due to the addition of chemical fiber materials, the air permeability is average.

7. Mercerized cotton cloth

Selected high-grade cotton raw materials and sophisticated technology are the best cotton seeds.

Advantages: soft and comfortable, moisture absorption and air permeability, bright luster, good dyeability, and the fabric is not easy to break.

Disadvantages: it is often stretched and deformed.

8. Mesh cotton

Pure cotton, specially woven.

Advantages: it absorbs sweat and is not easy to deform.

Disadvantages: accompanied by a certain degree of pilling.

Second, hemp

The cloth is made of flax, ramie, jute, sisal, banana and other hemp plant fibers. It is generally used to make casual clothes, work clothes and women's clothes, and is also used to make ordinary summer clothes at present.

Advantages: strong hygroscopicity, alkali resistance and heat resistance, good air permeability, non-stick to hands after sweating, refreshing and fashionable to wear.

Disadvantages: poor wearing comfort and rough appearance.

Cotton and linen blending

Generally, it is a blend of 55% hemp and 45% cotton or 50% hemp and cotton.

Advantages: the appearance is rough and crisp, and the tentacle cotton fabric is soft and not easy to fluff. Cotton and linen interwoven fabrics are firm and smooth, and feel softer than pure linen; Hemp-cotton blended interwoven fabric is light and suitable for summer wear.

Disadvantages: dull luster, weak hand feeling of worsted fabric and loose hand feeling of wool fabric. The elasticity and stiffness of this kind of fabric are not as good as pure wool and wool polyester wool blended fabric.

Third, Mao

1 pure wool

(1), pure wool worsted fabric

Advantages: Most of them are thin in texture, smooth in surface and clear in grain. The luster is naturally soft and bleached. Body bones are crisp, soft and elastic. Loosen the woolen cloth after grasping it firmly, and there is basically no crease, even if there is a slight crease, it can disappear in a short time.

(2) Pure wool woolen fabric

Advantages: Most of them have thick texture, full surface, soft color and sufficient light. Denim and suede do not show grain bottom. Grain texture is clear and rich. Soft, crisp and elastic.

2 wool blending

(1), wool and polyester blended.

Advantages: there are bright spots on the surface in the sun, the fabric is crisp, the elasticity is better than that of pure wool fabric, and it is loose after grasping the wool fabric, and there are almost no creases.

Disadvantages: the hand feel is hard, lacking the soft and moist feeling of pure wool fabric, which is obvious with the increase of polyester content, and the hand feel is not as good as pure wool and wool blended fabric.

(2), wool and viscose blended

Glossy, worsted fabrics feel weak, wool fabrics feel loose. The elasticity and stiffness of this kind of fabrics are not as good as pure wool, wool, polyester and wool blended fabrics. If the viscose content is high, the fabric will wrinkle easily.

(3), artificial fiber wool-like

The traditional wool-like fabric made of viscose and man-made wool fiber has dull luster, weak hand feeling and lack of stiffness. Due to poor elasticity, wrinkles are easy to appear and are not easy to fade. The strength of stretched yarn after wet water is obviously lower than that after drying, which is an effective method to identify viscose fabrics. In addition, this wool-like fabric will become hard and thick after soaking. With the progress of science and technology, wool-like products have also made great progress in color, feel and durability, and the continuous innovation of high-tech textile products has decorated our world more colorful.

(4), pure chemical fiber imitation wool

Advantages: natural style, bright color after dyeing and finishing, good gloss, crisp and elastic, suitable for mass consumption.

The features of knitted outerwear are firm and wear-resistant, beautiful in pattern, bright in color, stiff and wrinkle-resistant, small in shrinkage, easy to wash and dry, but poor in hygroscopicity and breathability. ※.

1. According to the processing methods of formed fabrics, fabrics are divided into woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics and woven cotton fabrics.

2. According to the fabric structure, it is divided into plain cloth, twill cloth and satin cloth.

3. According to printing and dyeing finishing, it is divided into bleached cotton cloth, dyed cotton cloth and printed cotton cloth.

Performance characteristics: strong hygroscopicity, good dyeing performance, shrinkage rate of about 3%; (After washing, the shrinkage rate of the company's clothes is within 65438 0%), with excellent comfort, soft luster and durability; Good hand feeling, poor elasticity and easy wrinkling; Alkali resistance and acid resistance; Light resistance and heat resistance are average; It is not easy to be eaten by insects, but it is easy to be corroded and moldy by microorganisms.

Style characteristics:

First, plain cloth

The basic feature of plain weave is that it adopts plain weave, and there are many yarn interweaving points in the fabric, which makes the fabric stiff and firm. Compared with other fabrics of the same specification, plain weave has better wear resistance, high strength, smooth surface and consistent front and back.

B, twill fabric

Various twill weaves are used to make diagonal lines consisting of warp or weft floating lines appear on the fabric surface.

Denim is a kind of low-grade twill with medium thickness. There are two kinds (20-40 tablets): thick and thin. They all adopt 2/ 1 left twill weave, which is slightly thicker and softer than plain cloth and has clear front lines. Khaki high-density fabric woven with 3/ 1 right diagonal or left diagonal. The handle is solid and the fabric has a good luster.

C, satin fabric

Various satin weaves are adopted, and the warp or weft has long floating lines covering the fabric surface, which is smooth and shiny along the floating yarn direction, and the cotton satin is soft, delicate and elastic. Patterns are more stereoscopic than cotton twill fabrics.

D. Other tissues-the honeycomb fabrics of warp and weft are all long floating, presenting a three-dimensional effect of diamond-shaped geometric figures on the cloth surface, with soft texture, good water absorption and softness, and easy to spin when wearing. Corduroy is a kind of weft pile cotton fabric, which is interwoven by a set of warp yarns and two sets of weft yarns. The ground weft yarns interweave with the warp yarns to form consolidated plush, and the wool yarns interweave with the warp yarns to cover the cloth surface, and are arranged to form various velvet strips with different thicknesses. Wick-plain weave, twill weave and plain weave variation are combined in a certain way, so that the fabric appearance has warp, weft or oblique rib effect, the rib surface presents plain weave or twill weave, and there are fine grooves between ribs. Velvet cotton grey cloth is brushed to form fluffy fabric on the fabric surface. Because of the fluff, this kind of flannel increases the air and enhances the warmth. Therefore, flannel is often used as underwear or baby clothes, which makes people feel soft, thick and comfortable. Velvet can be divided into single-sided velvet and double-sided velvet.

4. Knitted cotton fabric

The main difference between woven fabric and knitted fabric is that woven fabric is made of warp and weft yarns interwoven vertically, while knitted fabric is made up of a group of yarns formed by knitting needles and other knitting machines, similar to our knitting.

operating characteristic

Soft feel, high extensibility and elasticity, good air permeability and wrinkle resistance, easy to loosen, curl and snag, not as durable as woven fabric.

Commonly used varieties

Plain weave: continuous unit coils are sleeved together in series along one direction. It has detachability, serious curling and easy warping. Rib: it has great elasticity and ductility in the transverse direction. Not easy to fall off, not curly, good dimensional stability. French rib system is double-sided rib, which has small transverse elastic ductility and poor dimensional stability.

Knitting Jacquard: Change yarn thickness, quantity and color to form fabric pattern.

5, chemical fiber fabric

(1), rayon fabric

Rayon fabric basically refers to viscose filament and staple fabric, which is called rayon, rayon and viscose blended fabric.

Advantages: moisture absorption is the best in chemical fiber; Soft to the touch, bright in color and breathable and comfortable; Its wearing comfort and dyeability are better than those of synthetic fiber fabrics; Good drape; Good acid and alkali resistance and light resistance.

Disadvantages: but the shrinkage rate is large; Stiffness, resilience and wrinkle resistance are poor, and the shape retention of clothing is poor, which is easy to wrinkle;

(2) polyester fabric

Advantages: strong strength and elastic recovery; Durable, iron-free, easy to wash and dry. Good acid and alkali resistance, good light resistance, not afraid of mold and moth.

Weaknesses: However, it has poor hygroscopicity and strong sultry feeling, and it is easy to generate static electricity and dust.

(3) Acrylic fabric

Advantages: it has the reputation of synthetic wool, and its elasticity and bulkiness can be comparable to those of natural wool, with bright color. Wrinkle resistance and good warmth retention are about 15% higher than similar wool fabrics. It is light-resistant, heat-resistant and light-weight.

Disadvantages: poor hygroscopicity, feeling sultry when wearing.

(4), spandex elastic fabric

Advantages: also known as elastic fiber, it has excellent elasticity and is suitable for tights. 100% polyurethane is not used in general products, and 5%-30% polyurethane is mixed in fabrics. Appearance style, moisture absorption and air permeability are close to similar products of natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk and hemp.
