A guide to the most functional clothing fabrics in history

What is functional clothing fabric? Today, let’s talk about this topic. With the improvement of people’s living standards, great demand changes have taken place in the field of clothing fabrics. These demand changes have also brought about the spring of functional fabrics.

Functional fabrics: Simply put, they solve the various functional needs of customers at the fabric level. These needs include: antibacterial, anti-mite, three-proof, anti-UV, etc. These fabrics are mostly used in outdoor clothing, maternal and infant clothing, home textiles, etc. fabric field.

Let me first explain to you the solution functions of functional fabrics. As a supplement, most of the functional fabric solutions are achieved after finishing.

Antibacterial protection technology is a very common technology on the market, but it is not ordinary when it is of high quality and superb. We use Dow’s Silvadur antibacterial technology to explain as follows:

Silvadur Antimicrobial Technology:

Odor control

Intelligent Fresh Antibacterial Technology provides an all-day fresh feeling, inhibiting bacteria that cause unpleasant odors on the surface of fabrics. When odor-causing bacteria come into contact with treated fabrics, Silvadur’s intelligent delivery system delivers silver ions to the fabric surface, keeping treated items fresher longer, even after washing.

Long-lasting antibacterial

It still maintains ideal activity after more than 50 washes, with an antibacterial rate of >99%. It will not fall off or degrade from the fabric surface at high temperatures or use bleach, and will not fade.

Fabric Protection

Silvadur provides an extraordinary clean protective layer for fabrics, is non-leaching, will not cause irritation to human skin, and achieves comprehensive protection of fabrics from bacteria and odors without excessive washing, delaying the formation of biofilm on fabrics, thus Extend the life of fabrics. For fabrics, safety requirements are relatively high, so the access to technology is still relatively strict. Silvadurtm’s unique five major safety certifications ensure that antibacterial fabrics can meet stringent requirements no matter when and where they are sold. regulatory requirements. Everyone must understand safety when choosing functional fabric solutions, which is the life of the product.

Clothes often become inadvertently stained with stains that are difficult to remove. Easy decontamination finishing reduces the adsorption of stains on textiles and reduces traces of stains. The decontamination performance is improved and lasts longer, making the clothes look new for a long time.

For fabrics that wrinkle easily during use or after washing, repeated ironing is troublesome and reduces the service life of the clothing. Why not opt for a contact-free, formaldehyde-free anti-wrinkle resin that allows fabrics to return to crispness after home laundering without the need for ironing, making them simple and easy to care for.

The cutting-edge technology of formaldehyde-free anti-wrinkle resin can not only meet the anti-wrinkle needs, but also take into account environmental protection and health. It allows consumers to see and touch it, while enjoying the beautiful touch brought by fabrics, while avoiding the trouble of fabric care.

Under dry climate conditions in autumn and winter, the body is prone to generate frictional static electricity with close-fitting clothing, especially when it comes into contact with polyester-containing textile fabrics. Antistatic finishing of polyester fabrics can reduce the volume resistance or surface resistivity of the fabric to accelerate the leakage of static electricity, eliminate the problem of static electricity, and enhance consumers’ reputation experience of the product.

The climate in spring and summer is humid and hot, and people are prone to sweating. Close-fitting clothing needs to meet the needs of rapid evaporation of sweat and quick drying of the skin. Moisture wicking is a good choice for finishing functions.

Moisture wicking technology:

Textiles treated with three-proof technology are waterproof, oil-proof, anti-fouling and easy to decontaminate. For outdoor clothing, awnings, umbrellas, shoes, etc., it is inconvenient to disassemble and clean in time during use, and once they are Sweat stains, water stains, oil stains, stains, etc. invade the fabric and eventually penetrate into the inner layer, affecting the comfort of use. Therefore, three-proof finishing in this type of fabric can greatly improve the comfort of use.

Non-durable flame retardant finishing:

We have very efficient and economical flame retardants. The process is simple and versatile and suitable for various fiber types. The flame retardant effect is not durable, but it is resistant to dry cleaning.

Semi-durable flame retardant finish:

Semi-durable flame retardant, capable of meeting British furniture legislation standards BS5852 PART0, 1&5, or equivalent to BSEN1021.

Durable flame retardant finishing:

Cotton or cellulose fibers that need to be washed frequently can be treated with a durable flame-retardant finish, which can retain the flame-retardant effect even after repeated washing at boiling temperatures.

The above are several major categories of functional fabrics. Next, we recommend several practical applications of functional fabrics:

Business men’s clothing

Recommended solution:

Antibacterial, easy-to-remove, and anti-wrinkle business clothing make life simpler because they combine comfort with ease of care. They are less likely to produce odor even if you sweat, and sweat stains on the collar are easy to remove while wearing them.�Keeps clothes looking as smooth as new all day long.

Underwear/Homewear

Recommended solution:

Underwear and home clothes are worn close to the body every day. A lot of sweat stains and oils come into direct contact with the underwear. Moisture wicking helps reduce the feeling of stuffiness. Underwear can also easily breed harmful bacteria such as Candida albicans. It uses silvadur antibacterial agent, which is broad-spectrum antibacterial, has no dissolution, and has good durability. It can effectively inhibit harmful bacteria, control odor, and maintain long-lasting freshness.

Denim clothing

Recommended solution:

It is estimated that nearly 800 million pairs of jeans are produced every year. The complicated washing and finishing process of jeans has led many brands to recommend minimizing the number of times they are washed. It is recommended to use silvadur antibacterial agent and easy stain removal treatment on jeans, which can reduce the number of washing times of jeans, control odor, and keep them fresh for a long time.

Sports categories: shoes, socks, outdoor hiking

Recommended solution:

An athlete or mountain climber can only perform optimally if he wears the right clothing, and this is inseparable from the excellent functional design of the fabrics used.

Special requirements for sports shoes: antibacterial, three-proof/waterproof, moisture wicking

Special requirements for socks: antibacterial, moisture wicking

Special requirements for sportswear: UV resistance, moisture wicking, easy to remove dirt, three-proof/waterproof, antibacterial

Workwear

Recommended solution:

Various industries and various jobs have their own requirements, especially the health care industry, which has high standards for hygiene, and clothing in the machinery industry requires oil- and diesel-proof functions.

Special requirements for medical and health industry: easy to remove stains, waterproof, antibacterial, anti-alcohol, anti-blood stain, anti-static

Catering and food industry special requirements: easy decontamination

Special requirements for garage work clothes: easy to remove stains, waterproof, oil-proof, diesel-proof

Special requirements for electrician work clothes: easy to remove dirt and anti-static

Beijing has applied for the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. The market for functional clothing fabrics is bound to become popular again, and clothing fabrics have undergone tremendous changes.
