Whether you are selling clothing or a fabric supplier, understanding fabrics is the foundation of a textile person. Today, let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of common clothing fabrics.
1 .Pure wool
Advantages: warm, breathable, hygroscopic, good elasticity, good plasticity, shiny, soft to the touch and good drape!
Disadvantages: prone to shrinkage, intolerance Resistant to alkali and acid, afraid of sunlight, and prone to moths.
2. Cashmere
Advantages: The best kind of animal fiber, good toughness, light, soft, warm, elastic, good hygroscopicity, and good perspiration wicking .
Disadvantages: pilling, static electricity, poor wrinkle resistance
3. Silk
Advantages: good moisture absorption and breathability, good acid resistance and heat resistance, Good dyeability, soft texture, smooth and layered.
Disadvantages: poor wrinkle resistance, afraid of sun exposure, shrinkage
4. Cotton
Advantages: resistance to sunlight, heat resistance, alkali resistance, dyeability, moisture absorption Good, soft and dyeable.
Disadvantages: poor elasticity, shrinkage, and poor wrinkle resistance.
5. Linen
Advantages: better acid resistance than cotton, good moisture absorption and dyeability, and fast moisture dispersion
Disadvantages: alkali resistance, easy to wrinkle, Shrinkage
6. Cotton (nylon)
Advantages: elasticity, hygroscopicity, good dyeability, easy to wash and quick dry, alkali-resistant but not acid-resistant, sanitary balls should not be placed during storage. The abrasion resistance is the best among all fibers currently.
Disadvantages: yellowing in the sun, easy to pill, poor light resistance
7. Polyester (polyester fiber)
Advantages: wear-resistant, good elasticity, It has good resistance to degeneration, is easy to wash and dries quickly, and does not require ironing.
Disadvantages: Pilling, poor hygroscopicity. Commonly used blended fabrics include: polyester-cotton, wool-polyester.
8. Acrylic fiber (polyacrylonitrile fiber)
Advantages: good elasticity and warmth, soft and fluffy, easy to dye, resistant to sunlight, mildew and moth, good corrosion resistance, easy to wash Quick drying
Disadvantages: poor wear resistance and poor hygroscopicity.
9. Spandex (Lycra)
Advantages: good elasticity, sweat and acid and alkali resistance, dry cleaning and abrasion resistance, light weight, soft.
Disadvantages: easy to generate static electricity
10. Viscose fiber
Advantages: soft, good drape, good dyeing and hygroscopicity, easy to wash and quick to dry.
Disadvantages: shrinkage, deformation, not wear-resistant, afraid of sunlight.
