Polar fleece is a kind of knitted fabric. It was first produced in Taiwan, China in the early 1990s. It is called Xiao Yuanbao. The knitted structure is knitted on a circular knitting machine. After being knitted, the gray fabric is first dyed, and then processed through various complex finishing processes such as napping, carding, shearing, and shaking. The front of the fabric is brushed, and the graining is fluffy, dense, and not easy to fall off. The hair and pilling are sparse and even on the reverse side, the fluff is short, the texture is clear, and the fluffy elasticity is very good. Its ingredients are generally polyester and soft to the touch.
It has been the first choice product to keep out the cold in winter in China in the past two years. In addition, polar fleece can also be combined with all fabrics to make it more effective in keeping out the cold. For example: cashmere and cashmere composite, cashmere and denim composite, cashmere and lambswool composite, cashmere and mesh composite with a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle, etc.
Classification
In the mid-1990s, the Quanzhou area of Fujian Province also began to produce cashmere. They were generally produced in Taiwan. Technology. The price was relatively high at that time. Later, cashmere production also began in Changshu, Wuxi and Changzhou areas of Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Looking at our domestic cashmere production level, the quality of cashmere in Jiangsu is better, and the price of cashmere in Zhejiang is better. In addition, cashmere can be divided into plain color and printed color. According to different personal requirements, plain cashmere can be divided into drop-needle cashmere.
polar fleece), emboss polar fleece, jacquard polar
fleece) and so on.
Generally, the price of polar fleece is lower than that of woolen fabrics. There are many clothes and scarves made directly from pure polyester 150D96F cashmere. Generally, the quality requirements for cashmere used in clothing are not too high.
Main ingredients
Sheep cashmere: usually 100% polyester.
According to the specifications of polyester, it is subdivided into: long fiber (filament), short fiber (spun), and micro-polar fleece.
Among them, the ultra-fine ones have the best quality and the highest price! In addition, there is drop-needle polar fleece, which also accounts for a larger proportion.
At the same time, there is also cashmere with spandex added. Since the quality is difficult to master, the technology needs to be further improved.
The cashmere from Zhejiang is the cheapest, but the quality is hard to say. The quality of Shanghai’s cashmere is okay, but the price is high; the price and quality of Suzhou are both good. Between the two, somewhere in the middle.
Sheep cashmere is divided into long fiber and short fiber:
Short fiber cashmere is better than long fiber cashmere The price is slightly higher.
Short fiber fleece is generally woven from 32S polyester yarn. Its English name (100% polyester spun polar fleece), among which hemp gray fleece, is also short fiber fleece. Velvet.
Long-fiber cashmere is generally woven from polyester filament, and can be made of full polyester 150D96F
,150D48F,150D144F
, 150D288F, 75D72F, 75D144F, 100D144F, 100D288F and so on. Its English expression (100% polyester
filament polar fleece), in general, the higher the F value, the better the feel of the fabric, and the higher the price of fleece. For example, 100D144F
, 150D144F and other cashmere are already ultra-fine cashmere.
Long-fiber cashmere can be divided into low-elastic cashmere (DTY) and glossy yarn (FDY). Their English expression is (100% polyester Micro-polar fleece). The door width is generally 60 inches, and the weight is generally between 150-450 grams. Under normal circumstances, long-fiber cashmere is mostly used to make blankets.
Cashmere can be made into clothes, and the price ranges from 300 to 2,000 yuan. In addition, cashmere can be used as bedding, carpets, coats, jackets, vests, windbreakers, cheerleading team logos, cashmere gloves, scarves, hats, pillows, cushions, etc.
Mostly exported to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada and other countries.
Difference
[Cashmere and ordinary fabrics]
It is a small ingot knitted structure, knitted on a circular knitting machine. After being knitted, the gray fabric is first dyed, and then processed through various complex finishing processes such as napping, carding, shearing, and shaking. The front of the fabric is brushed and the shaking is fluffy. It is dense and not easy to shed or pill. The nap on the back is sparse and even, with short fluff, clear texture and fluffy elasticity.
It has been the first choice product to keep out the cold in winter in China in the past two years.
Spandex (up to 5%) can be added during the weaving process of polar fleece, T/R polar fleece, the technology needs further improvement.
Special treatment of fabrics, for example, adding antistatic additives, anti-flame retardant additives, infrared additivesagents and so on. For some special polar fleece, for example, antistatic fiber is added to the fabric during the weaving process. There are still not many polar fleece with this fiber in the domestic market.
Polar fleece can also be combined with any fabric to make it more effective in keeping out the cold. For example: polar fleece combined with polar fleece, polar fleece combined with denim, polar fleece combined with lambswool, polar fleece combined with mesh cloth with a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle, etc.
In addition, polar fleece can be divided into plain color and printed color. According to different personal requirements, plain polar fleece can be divided into drop-needle polar fleece.
polar fleece), embossed polar fleece (emboss polar fleece), jacquard polar fleece
fleece) and so on. Depending on the printing slurry, printed polar fleece has more than 200 varieties of colors including penetration printing, glue printing, and transfer printing with color strips. This fabric has novel and unique patterns, rich and colorful colors, and natural and smooth patterns. It is favored by people from all walks of life.
In terms of the price of polar fleece, the width of polar fleece in China is generally around 150CM, and some are as wide as 230CM, and the weight ranges from 180 to 450 grams. . The price should take into account the cost of raw materials, weaving costs, weaving loss costs, dyeing costs, dyeing loss and finishing costs. In terms of fabric prices, the cheapest market is Zhejiang, but Changshu, Jiangsu is also relatively cheap. Polar fleece fabric is already a popular fabric with low price and high taste.
[Composite cashmere and double-sided cashmere]
Composite polar fleece is made of two types of the same quality Or different polar fleeces are processed by a laminating machine and laminated together. Double-sided polar fleece is polar fleece that has been treated with double-sided polar fleece. In terms of price, composite polar fleece is generally relatively higher.
But for general blankets, there are more composite fleece, but some customers need two polar fleeces of the same quality to be sewn together. There is no need to composite, but that It is not very convenient to wash. In addition, generally the polar fleece used for blankets is more long-fiber.
[Sheep wool and woolen]
Polar fleece feels softer and has obvious particles. The ingredients of woolen fabrics generally contain wool, and under normal circumstances, its feel is relatively hard.
Generally, good woolen fabrics are soft and smooth, with a smooth and oily feeling; and the woolen fabrics can also be divided into many types: for example, pure woolen woolen fabrics and chemical fiber woolen fabrics. There are obvious differences: pure wool has a soft and shiny color, while chemical fiber has a darker luster; pure wool has a soft feel, while chemical fiber is stiff and not soft; pure wool has good elasticity and recovery, while chemical fiber has a tight grip. There are obvious wrinkles after relaxing.
Quality identification
First of all, you have to clarify what it is used for. For example: making blankets, clothes, etc. This requires each customer’s needs. Generally, blankets are mostly made of long-fiber polar fleece. Short-fiber polar fleece is slightly more expensive than long-fiber polar fleece.
In general, the higher the F value of long-fiber polar fleece, the better the feel of the fabric, and the higher the price of the polar fleece. For example, 100D/144F, 150D/144F and other polar fleece are already ultra-fine polar fleece. Long-fiber polar fleece can be divided into low-elastic polar fleece (DTY) and optical fiber (FDY). Their English expression is (
100% polyester Micro-polarfleece). In terms of origin, the quality is Shanghai and Jiangsu. Kunshan, Changzhou, Jiangyin, etc. are relatively higher.
FAQ
