The clothes we usually buy will have labels on them. If you look at the labels carefully, you will I found that the fabric ingredients column includes cotton, wool, polyester fiber, nylon, etc. What do they represent?
In fact, there are two types of fibers used to weave clothes. One is natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool, and the other is chemical fiber.
Chemical fibers are divided into two categories: one It is a regenerated fiber made from chemically processed fibers such as wood and grass. The second is synthetic fiber, which is a fiber made through a series of chemical reactions using some substances that do not contain cellulose or protein. Most of the raw materials for this synthetic fiber come from dark petroleum.
Our common synthetic fibers include polyester fiber, nylon, spandex, acrylic and other varieties.
Polyester fiber, commonly known as “polyester”, is Currently the largest variety of synthetic fibers. Its biggest advantage is that it has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, the fabric is easy to wash and quick-drying, and it does not stick to wool. However, compared with natural fibers, polyester has low moisture content, poor air permeability, and poor dyeability. In order to improve these shortcomings, people add some other compounds when producing polyester, or mix and spin it with natural fibers to produce our common blended fabrics.
The abrasion resistance of nylon is the best among textile fibers, and its elasticity, hygroscopicity and dyeability are also good. However, nylon is not light-resistant. It will turn yellow after being exposed to sunlight for a long time and is easily deformed, so Nylon is suitable for blending into various beautiful and comfortable socks and various knitted products.
The most elastic textile fiber is spandex, which is widely used in textile and medical fields such as underwear, sportswear, stockings, and bandages.
Acrylic is a short fiber that resembles wool. It is soft, light, and warm. It is suitable for making a variety of wool, wool, blankets, etc.
Hear Here, you will definitely marvel at the magic of science and technology, and at the same time, you will also find that oil is ubiquitous in our lives. No wonder people say that “oil is the foundation of modern life.”
