Style

It is conceivable that the higher the density of the fabric, the harder the texture, but the hardness is not necessarily a disadvantage, because the hard texture can make the finished product quite wide. If you use fine yarn, low density may cause the fabric to be too loose and collapse, and appear cheap. Therefore, yarn, tissue structure, density and processing methods will affect the final style of the fabric, so it needs to be adjusted according to the target effect.

✦

perspective sense

Perspective, that is, the higher the density, the lower the perspective, and the lower the density, the easier it is to be seen. For example, the fabrics used in products such as pants cannot be penetrated, and * * it is better to use high-density fabrics that are not easy to be seen through even if they move. It is not easy to see through the fabric, relatively speaking, it also has the effect of UV resistance. On the contrary, fabrics with strong perspective can be woven by reducing the density, using fine yarns, or using yarns with high perspective. When making interior items that have a cool appearance and can be seen when folded, use a fabric with a strong sense of perspective.

gram weight

The higher the density, the heavier the fabric, and the lower the density, the lighter the gram weight. High density, heavy fabric in addition to give a person with a calm feeling and high-grade quite broad sense of both. If you want to make a certain thickness of the jacket and other products, in addition to the use of roving yarn can also be achieved by adjusting the density. On the other hand, lightweight fabrics are suitable for making mobile sportswear and everyday wear. In recent years, the popularity of light and easy-to-carry storage clothing has increased greatly, and clothing similar to coats and blouses that can adjust indoor air conditioning and outdoor heat in summer is also highly respected. Because the fabric is light and not easy to fatigue, it has become a popular fabric in many sports such as mountaineering and running.

✦

Cost Price

High density means that the amount of yarn used, so the price will become higher, and high density leads to low production efficiency, resulting in an inevitable increase in costs. On the other hand, the production efficiency of low-density fabrics will be improved, the amount of yarn used will be reduced, and under the premise that there is no problem with fabric style and physical properties, the reduction of density can compress the production cost, thus reducing the price.

✦

Breathability

High density has low air permeability, and low density has large gaps between yarns, making air permeability better. High density fabrics have low air permeability, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage. To a certain extent to prevent ventilation, it can be used to make windproof jacket, down jacket fabric to use. Low density fabric, easy to make down, cotton from the fabric out, so at this time the high density fabric is more useful. The low-density fabric can increase the air permeability, discharge the uncomfortable stuffy feeling, and the advantages of easy drying when damp.

✦

Waterproof

Fabric density high enough to prevent water through the fabric into the interior. If the waterproof treatment, such as coating, composite and other processing, can also avoid the low density of the coating resin, adhesive leakage risk. Therefore, if you want to increase the waterproof performance of the fabric, you need to increase the density to a certain extent.

✦

Tear fastness

Tear strength is one of the physical property test methods for the difficulty of tearing when the fabric is stretched. The strength of the fabric can be tested. And often the higher the density, the worse the tearing fastness, low density fabric is not easy to tear. Tear strength is easily affected by the hardness of the fabric, the fabric with high hardness is easy to be torn, and the soft fabric can disperse the strength, but it is not easy to be torn. High-density fabrics will present a paper-like texture, especially thin and dense, which is more likely to become as fragile as paper and easily torn. If the yarn is thick enough and has a certain strength, there is no need to worry about tearing in daily use, so not all high-density fabrics are easy to tear. However, when outdoor sports and camping supplies need to be used in places with trees such as mountains, high durability fabrics are needed to prevent being hooked and torn.

✦

Joint slip

Slip refers to the seam slip of the fabric (weaving eye, coil movement). When the fabric is stretched, the degree of movement of the weave eye at the seam is used to assess the ease of slippage of the fabric. When the numerical value is poor, it means that deformation and collapse are easy. The high-density fabric has good seam sliding stability, while there are gaps between the yarns of the low-density fabric, and the weaving eyes are easy to slide, so it is easy to cause deformation and collapse of the clothing when wearing, and the yarns will also move askew.

✦

Elasticity

The voids of high-density fabrics are filled with yarns, so the elasticity is low, while there are voids between yarns of low-density fabrics, so the elasticity is better. Even in the case of using a fiber having elasticity such as spandex, the elasticity is lowered due to the high density. Therefore, if you want to improve the elasticity, low density fabric may be more suitable, of course, this may also lead to the risk of seam slip and other physical properties.

✦

Wear resistance

High-density fabrics have better abrasion resistance. The gaps between the yarns are less likely to be affected by friction. Generally, high-density fabrics are not easy to produce fluffing and pilling (hair balls formed on the cloth surface when the fibers are entangled). Because fluffing and pilling easily affect the sense of cleanliness, the use of wear-resistant fabrics can extend the life of the product.

Weaving mills, fabric manufacturers in accordance with the use of fabrics and processing methods to consider and design density. Density has an important influence on the finished product. High density and low density fabrics also have their own advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the type of yarn used, the structure, and the processing method, different styles of fabrics will be presented. Therefore, this is not only the fun of fiber technology, but also the difficulty.
