Unveiling Unidirectional Moisture Conductive Fabrics: Principles, Manufacturing Processes, Testing Methods

Unidirectional moisture-conducting fabric

Unidirectional moisture-conducting fabrics can effectively export sweat in one direction. They help keep the body dry and cool, especially when playing outdoor sports in autumn and winter. This avoids heat loss from sweating. 1 What is unidirectional moisture transfer? Unidirectional moisture transfer is a process. It lets the inner fabric, in contact with the body,…

Quick-drying performance test for high-performance textiles

Quick-drying performance test for high-performance textiles

The drying rate of performance textiles is usually defined as the ability of a fabric to dry quickly by air circulation or other means after absorbing moisture in a humid environment. This indicator is often used to measure the moisture absorption and quick drying performance of fabrics to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Common…

Fabric shrinkage: different process test methods, common fabric shrinkage data

Fabric shrinkage

Fabric shrinkage, or elastic elongation, is the ratio of its length increase to its original length. Under certain conditions, we apply a tensile force at this point. It measures a fabric’s elasticity. It often describes its ability to deform under an external force. The stretch of a fabric has a significant impact on the fit,…

Textile dyeing strategy: methods, processes, equipment, influencing factors

Textile dyeing changes the color of fibres or fabrics. It happens by immersing them in a dye solution. It is widely used. Dyeing adds color to fabrics or yarns. It makes textiles more valuable. Textile Dyeing Methods Different methods of dyeing classify dyeing as dip-dyeing and tie-dyeing. Dip-dyeing Principle Dip-dyeing is a dyeing method. Fabrics…

For shrinkage rates! You need to understand these…

In the global or local market, consumers want garments to be more stable. This is especially true in the international market. Fabrics there constantly face special requirements for anti-shrinkage. This is a nuisance to dyeing and printing. 01 Mechanical pre-shrinkage finishing It uses physical methods to reduce fabric shrinkage. This shrinkage happens after immersion in…
