Difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover

Difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover

Chemical fiber quilt cover is different from pure cotton quilt cover. Chemical fiber quilt cover is generally polyester fiber, and some of it is modified fiber. As a traditional natural warm-keeping material, cotton is affordable, skin-friendly and suitable for all ages. Let's look at the difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover.

The difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover is 1. In most people's impression, pure cotton absorbs sweat. As long as it involves buying clothes and quilts, pure cotton is the first choice. In contrast, chemical fiber fabrics are less valued.

PK of pure cotton fabric and chemical fiber fabric has never stopped. In fact, over the years, there have been many technical improvements in the fabric materials of clothes. Today I will tell you one thing: chemical fiber clothes are not as bad as you think, and even in some respects, they are far better than pure cotton!

What is the truth?

Looking at the original characteristics of fiber, cotton is really skin-friendly.

The primary factor affecting the "skin-friendliness" is that the fabric should be hygroscopic, and the hygroscopicity can refer to the "specified moisture regain" of the fiber. The higher the moisture regain, the better the hygroscopicity.

Because people's skin is comfortable when it is wet, for example, when it is dry in winter, it should be oiled, and so should clothes. Fabrics with high moisture regain can absorb more moisture in the air and make the skin feel more comfortable.

Looking at the moisture regain in the initial state alone, it really verifies everyone's impression that cotton and silk are more hygroscopic and skin-friendly than polyester and other chemical fibers. (But viscose, as a chemical fiber, has a good moisture regain. )

But after treatment, the chemical fiber is as good as skin-friendliness.

With the rapid development of textile processing technology, we can now improve the moisture regain and other indicators of chemical fiber through more diverse clothing processing and finishing methods, making it more and more skin-friendly, even surpassing cotton.

This is due to the biggest feature of chemical fiber-very strong processability. From synthetic formula to spinning preparation to dyeing and finishing, its performance can be changed according to our needs, providing a variety of functions.

For example, decades ago, traditional polyester was not a hydrophilic plastic thread, but modern textile industry can introduce hydrophilic chemical groups into polyester synthesis to improve its hygroscopicity; Polyester acrylic fiber itself is easy to generate static electricity, but regular manufacturers will do antistatic finishing, with low additional cost and immediate effect; You can also use the false twist textured yarn process in spinning to make the polyester fiber with poor elasticity become fluffy and elastic.

In other words, if we only look at the fiber composition of modern textiles, we can't fully reflect the skin-friendly characteristics of fabrics. Pure cotton is skin-friendly, and so is chemical fiber.

When you sweat a lot, chemical fiber is actually better than cotton

Pure cotton is breathable, hygroscopic and cool, but there is a premise: when you don't sweat a lot, everything is fine.

When sweating a lot, such as when exercising or when the weather is very hot, the biggest disadvantage of pure cotton appears: poor moisture conductivity, and sweat is difficult to evaporate.

Because cotton fiber will absorb moisture and expand after contacting a large amount of water, coupled with the barrier of sweat, the pores that could have been breathable are blocked, and the breathability is not good.

If you wear a cotton T-shirt to play basketball, football, or other strenuous exercise, you should have a deep understanding: if you sweat too much, your clothes will stick to your skin, and your figure will be exposed in an instant, which will make you feel sticky.

Cotton fiber is a hollow structure, like a straw, and it is difficult for water to evaporate after being sucked in.

On the other hand, special-shaped spinnerets can be used to spin chemical fiber, and the surface of this fiber has grooves, which can improve moisture conductivity and accelerate sweat discharge.

Just like a road with many drainage pipes, sweat does not enter the fiber, but is directly discharged from the fiber pores and fiber surfaces.

There are various grooves on the surface of these different shaped fibers, which is convenient for drainage.

More advanced chemical fiber fabrics can also achieve "single-sided moisture conduction"

In other words, water will only flow from the skin surface to the clothes surface, and will not stay on the skin. Even if water is splashed on the surface of clothes, no water will flow into the skin from the surface of clothes.

If you want to exercise regularly and go to love sweating, chemical fiber is actually a more suitable choice for you than pure cotton.

The difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover II. Detailed explanation of cloth knowledge

Yarn count and density yarn count: refers to the thickness of yarn, and the length of yarn weight 1 g is called yarn count. For example, if 1 g yarn is made to be 30 meters long, it means 30 pieces, or 30 seconds; Density: refers to the total number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch (2.54*2.54 square centimeters). For example, 12868 is 128*68, which means that there are 1 28 warp yarns and 68 weft yarns in1square inch, and the density is = 128+68 =196. The quality of fabric lies in density, which is usually called yarn count and warp and weft density. The finer the yarn count, the higher the density. Relatively speaking, the better the fastness, the better the fabric quality.

High count, high density and high count: refers to the number of yarns in the fabric ≥40; High density: refers to the sum of warp and weft yarns per square inch of fabric ≥ 180. The concepts of yarn count and density were introduced yesterday! Width: refers to the effective width of the fabric and the width between the outermost warp yarns on both lateral sides of the fabric. Then, we will test everyone. What does110 ÷ 60× 40/173×120 mean? Description: A. 1 10 "refers to the fabric width,110 inch (10× 2.54 = 279.4cm); B .60×40 refers to the yarn used in the fabric, the warp yarn is 60s yarn and the weft yarn is 40s yarn; C. 173x 120 refers to the fabric density, the first number refers to the warp density 173/ inch, and the second number refers to the weft density 120/ inch.

Fabric weave in the classification of fabric weave, there are three basic weaves, namely plain weave, twill weave and satin weave. Plain weave: it is made of warp yarns and weft yarns alternately interwoven up and down. The fabric is strong and firm, but it feels hard, and the vision on both sides is the same. Twill weave: warp weave points (or weft weave points) form diagonal lines continuously, forming diagonal lines. Warp and weft can only be interwoven once every two yarns at least. There are positive and negative points, soft to the touch and thick twill fabric products.

Satin weave: Separate and discontinuous warp weave points (or weft weave points) are regularly and evenly distributed. Warp and weft are interwoven at least once every three. Because the floating thread is long and easy to wear, the texture is soft, the fabric is smooth and the gloss is high.

Plain cloth: woven first and then called plain, and the color is generally single. Yarn-dyed fabric: dyeing before weaving is called yarn-dyed fabric, which can get fine straight and plaid patterns. Because the yarn is dyed first, the color fastness is high. Printed cloth: The common printing method is to make transfer printing paper by printing with water-soluble reactive dyes. By applying certain pressure, the dye is transferred to the fabric, which has strong color fastness and excellent texture.

Jacquard: refers to the pattern formed by the change of warp and weft weave in the process of fabric weaving. There are monochrome printing and yarn-dyed printing. Jacquard fabric has soft texture, good drape, good gloss and is not easy to fade. Divided into large jacquard and small jacquard. Jacquard patterns are generally flowers and various patterns, while small jacquard patterns are limited to weaving geometric patterns such as stripes and plaids.

Fiber fineness Fiber fineness is used to indicate the thickness of fiber. Fiber fineness and its dispersion are related to fiber strength, elongation, rigidity, elasticity and deformation uniformity, and also affect the handle and style of fabric and the processing of yarn and fabric. The fineness of yarns and textile fibers is expressed in tex, that is, a yarn with a length of l000 meters (m) is as many tex as it weighs in grams. The fiber fineness of chemical fiber filament and silk is generally expressed by D, that is, how many grams a 9000-meter (m) long yarn weighs is how many denier.

The lower the "D" value, the better the fiber length and fineness, the better the warmth retention, bulkiness and thickness, and the filling cotton below 7D is the best. Wool-type chemical fiber: the length and fineness of the fiber are similar to those of wool fiber, with the length of 76- 102mm and the fineness of 0.33-0.55 tex. Cotton-type chemical fiber: the length and fineness of fiber are equivalent to cotton fiber, with the length of 33-38mm and the fineness of 0. 132-0. 165 tex. Medium-long chemical fiber: the length and fineness of the fiber are between wool type and cotton type, the length is 5 1-76mm, and the fineness is 0.22-0.33 tex.

The difference between chemical fiber quilt cover and pure cotton quilt cover 3 How to choose a quilt?

(1) quilt-the most common quilt

As the most common quilt, quilts are generally filled with cotton.

The product standard is GB/T 22796-2009 quilt cover and quilt cover. This standard is applicable to quilts and quilt products (excluding down and silk) with woven fabric as the surface layer and lining and wadding fiber as the filler.

Advantages:

As a traditional natural warm-keeping material, cotton is often the first choice of the broad masses of the people because of its moderate price, good skin-friendliness and suitability for all ages.

Disadvantages:

In order to achieve better warmth retention, it is usually necessary to increase the filling amount of cotton, so it is thicker and will make people feel oppressive when sleeping.

(2) Chemical fiber quilt-the most favorable quilt

The chemical fiber quilt is usually composed of polyester fibers, and some of them are modified fibers, such as soybean protein fiber (protein modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber) and milk protein modified polyacrylonitrile fiber.

Among them, polyester fiber can be divided into ordinary solid, single hole and seven holes according to its morphological characteristics. The more holes in the fiber, the better the warmth retention. )

(3) duvet-the lightest quilt

A duvet can only be called a duvet if its filling composition is 100% down and its down content is ≥50%.

The product standard is QB/T1193-2012 down and feather quilt. This standard is applicable to duvets with down as the main filler and various textile fabrics as the shell.

Duvet fillers can be divided into goose down and duck down, of which goose down is better than duck down. But no matter what kind of duvet it is, its main quality index is the cashmere content. The higher the cashmere content, the better the warmth retention.

Advantages:

Not only is it light in weight, soft in texture, high in bulkiness and excellent in thermal insulation, but also it has a certain temperature regulation function because there are thousands of triangular micropores on the down spherical fiber, which can contract and expand with the change of air temperature, so it can absorb the flowing hot air emitted by the human body and isolate the invasion of external cold air.

Disadvantages:

The price is expensive! Duvets generally use coated high-density chemical fiber fabrics as quilts, so in the dry season of autumn and winter, it is easy to generate static electricity; If the process quality is not good, there will be a phenomenon of drilling wool; The resistance to moth and mildew is poor, so it needs to be kept cool, dry and well ventilated during storage, and attention should be paid to moth and mildew prevention.

(4) Wool and cashmere quilts-quilts that are not easily deformed.

Wool quilt refers to the quilt filled with wool: the quilt containing 50% or more wool is wool quilt; 100% wool is pure wool quilt. Cashmere quilt refers to the quilt filled with cashmere: the quilt containing 30% or more cashmere is cashmere; More than 95% cashmere is pure cashmere quilt.

The product standard is GB/T 32605-20 16 wool cashmere quilt, which is suitable for making tires with pure wool, pure cashmere or fillers mixed with wool and cashmere, and quilting (including machine sewing and hand sewing) wool cashmere quilt with tire covers.

Advantages:

Wool (cashmere) is not only excellent in drape, warmth retention and skin friendliness, but also fluffy and soft, not hardened, and has strong moisture absorption and perspiration ability, which is especially suitable for people who like to kick quilts or sweat easily when sleeping. In addition, wool (cashmere) is dust-proof, electricity-proof, antibacterial and mite-inhibiting, and more importantly, it is natural flame retardant, safe and reliable.

Disadvantages:

Wool (velvet) quilts are hard and easy to absorb moisture and get wet. Like silk quilt, it has poor moth-proof and mildew-proof performance, so it needs to be kept cool, dry and well ventilated when stored, and attention should be paid to moth-proof and mildew-proof.

(5) Silk quilt-the most skin-friendly quilt

Silk quilt is a product filled with more than 50% silk.

The product standard is GB/T 24252-20 19 "Silk Quilt", which is suitable for silk quilts made of mulberry silk cotton and tussah silk cotton as the main raw materials, made into tires and fixed with the tire cover (including machine sewing and hand sewing).

Silk can be divided into mulberry silk and tussah silk, of which mulberry silk is better than tussah silk. Consumers should pay attention to that silk floss can be divided into filament floss, medium filament floss, short filament floss and silk floss according to its length.

Advantages:

Silk is a natural filament fiber, known as the "queen of fiber", which is rich in amino acids, so it has the best skin-friendliness. But also can prevent mites and bacteria. It is a good choice for some people with allergies.

Disadvantages:

Expensive, friction-resistant, and bulky; The resistance to moth and mildew is poor, so it needs moisture-proof, mildew-proof, light pressure and heavy pressure when storing.
