What are the advantages and disadvantages of chemical fiber fabrics

Chemical fiber fabrics have been widely used in the field of work clothes, and their types are also particularly rich. This type of fabric is made by purifying and finishing chemical fibers. Therefore, the characteristics of the fabric have a great relationship with the production raw materials. So what are the chemical fiber fabrics and what are their advantages and disadvantages.

Polyester: It is what we call polyester. Its raw materials are easy to obtain and the production cost is low. The output is the highest among chemical fibers. This fabric has good elasticity and abrasion resistance, and its chemical stability is relatively stable. It is not easy to be corroded by acid and alkali substances, but the breathability of polyester clothing is not good. It will be more stuffy when worn in summer, and pilling will appear to varying degrees after washing.
Nylon fabric: its scientific name is polyamide fiber, which is more popular as nylon fabric. Like polyester, nylon has good toughness and abrasion resistance, and its elasticity is stronger than polyester. However, nylon fabrics simply generate static electricity and often cause pilling. And the phenomenon of fluffing, the shape stability of the fabric is not good, and the clothing is simply deformed.

Polyacrylonitrile fiber cloth: This kind of cloth looks and feels very similar to wool. Wool fabrics are expensive. Polyacrylonitrile fiber can certainly play a role in substitution. Although it is not as hygroscopic as wool, it is in the chemical fiber dimension. It is a better one, but its abrasion resistance is far inferior to that of polyester and nylon.
Spandex: This kind of fabric is different from the ones mentioned above. Generally, there will be no pure spandex fabric. It will be blended with other chemical fibers or natural fibers to form a fabric. The proportion of spandex in the fabric will be relatively low. , Generally within 10%, just this 10% spandex can greatly increase the elasticity of the fabric, so it is also called elastic fiber.
