The invention of ultrafiber cloth
Ultrasuede, a microfiber cloth, was invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto. It is called a man-made alternative to suede. And the fabric is versatile: it can be used in fashion, interior upholstery, automotive and other vehicle upholstery, as well as industrial applications such as protective fabric for electronic devices.
About the characteristics of super fiber
Principle of superfine fiber
Because the diameter of superfine fiber is very small, its bending stiffness is very small, and the fiber feels particularly soft , with strong cleaning function and waterproof and breathable effect. Microfiber has many tiny pores between microfibers, forming a capillary structure. If processed into towel-like fabric, it has high water absorption. After washing the car, a large amount of remaining water can be quickly dried using a microfiber towel.
Gram weight
The higher the gram weight of the fabric, the better the quality and the more expensive the price; on the contrary, the lower gram weight of the fabric is cheaper and the quality will be worse. The unit of gram weight is “gram/square meter” (g/m2), abbreviated as FAW. The gram weight of the fabric is generally the number of grams of fabric weight per square meter. The gram weight is an important technical indicator of superfiber fabrics.
Texture type
In the car beauty industry, microfiber cloth is mainly divided into three types: long hair, short hair and Waffle. Long hair is mainly used for large-area water collection steps; short hair is used for detail processing, crystal wiping and other steps; and waffle is mainly used for cleaning and wiping glass.
Other judgment criteria
Softness
Thanks to the small diameter of the microfiber fabric, it is easy to get a very soft feel. However, the softness of towels produced by different manufacturers is different. Towels with better softness are less likely to leave scratches when wiping. Recommended Use softer towels.
Sewing process
There are processes such as satin hemming and laser seamless hemming, which can generally hide the stitching. The advanced seaming process can reduce the possibility of scratching the paint surface.
Durability
The better the quality of the microfiber cloth, the less likely it will shed lint, and it will not become hard after several cleanings. The durability of this type of microfiber cloth longer.
