An easy way to teach you how to identify fabric components
The first is the sensory identification method: The sensory method requires a certain amount of experience, but it is not difficult to do it. As long as you go shopping in the mall, you will deliberately touch various fabrics, and you will gain something over time. The fibers can be roughly separated from the following four aspects Feel: very soft is silk, viscose, nylon. Weight: Lighter than nylon, acrylic, polypropylene; heavy silk is cotton, hemp, viscose, rich fiber; similar to the weight of silk is vinylon, wool, vinegar fiber, polyester. Strength: stretched by hand to break, weaker is glue, vinegar fiber, hair; strong is silk, cotton, hemp, synthetic fiber, etc.; after wetting, the strength is significantly reduced is protein fiber, viscose, Copper ammonia fiber. Elongation charge: When stretching by hand, it feels hair and vinegar fiber; the smaller one is cotton and hemp; the moderate one is silk, viscose, fiber and most synthetic fiber. Identification of silk and rayon by hand â— Silk feels soft and elastic. When it is light, it has a silky sound and a cool feeling. The rayon has a rough feel and a damp cold feeling. â— Silk is softer, brighter and less glaring; rayon is similar to metal. â— Grab the fabric and let it go. The silk wrinkles are less than the rayon. â— Put the water droplets on the fabric, and the rayon is easy to break by hand, and the silk is firmer. Distinguish various fibers through sensory characteristics Fiber name feel characteristics The cotton is soft and soft, with small elasticity and easy to wrinkle. Hemp feels rough and often has a flaw. The silk is shiny, soft and light, and there is a rustling sound when it is pinched, which has a cool feeling. The wool is elastic, soft and lustrous, and feels warm and not wrinkled. Polyester has good elasticity, smoothness, high strength, stiffness and coolness. Nylon is not easy to break, elastic, smooth, light texture, not as soft as silk. Velon is similar to cotton, and its gloss is dark, not as soft as cotton, and its resilience is not good and it is easy to wrinkle. Acrylic fiber has good thermal insulation, high strength, lighter than cotton, and has a soft and fluffy feel. Viscose fibers are softer than cotton and have a stronger surface gloss than cotton but have poor fastness. The second is the signage identification method: The limitations of the sensory method are relatively coarse, and the application is not wide, and there is nothing to do with synthetic fibers and blended fabrics. For some reputable shopping malls or underwear brands, you can directly identify the fabric components by identifying the identification plates. These signs can only be hung by the inspection of the textile quality inspection agency and have a strong authority. Generally, there are two contents on the label, one is the fiber name, and the other is the fiber content (generally expressed as a percentage). Sometimes you will find that the fiber name on the sign is in English and it seems very laborious. The Chinese and English names of some common fibers are listed below.
