Introduction
Polar fleece is a kind of knitted fabric. It was produced in Taiwan, China in the early 1990s. It is a small ingot knitted structure, which is woven on a large circular machine. After weaving, the grey fabric is first dyed, and then napped, carded, sheared, A variety of complex finishing processes such as fleece are processed. The front side of the fabric is napped. The fleece is dense and fluffy but not easy to shed or pilling. The back napped is sparse and well-proportioned, with short fuzz, clear texture and excellent fluffy elasticity. Its ingredients are generally polyester, soft to the touch. It is the first choice for domestic winter protection in the past two years. In addition, the polar fleece can also be combined with all fabrics to make the effect of keeping out the cold better. For example: polar fleece and polar fleece composite, polar fleece and denim composite, polar fleece and lamb fleece composite, polar fleece and mesh fabric composite with waterproof and breathable film in the middle, and so on.
classification
In the mid-1990s, the Quanzhou area of Fujian also began to produce polar fleece, which are generally Taiwanese technology. The price was relatively high at that time. Later, the production of polar fleece was also started in Changshu, Wuxi and Changzhou in Zhejiang and Jiangsu. Looking at our domestic production level of polar fleece, the quality of polar fleece in Jiangsu is better, and the price of polar fleece in Zhejiang is better. In addition, polar fleece can be divided into plain and printed. According to individual requirements, plain polar fleece can be divided into drop-needle polar fleece, emboss polar fleece, Jacquard polar fleece and so on.
Under normal circumstances, the price of fleece is lower than that of woolen fabrics. Many clothes and scarves are directly made of polyester 150D96F polar fleece. Generally, the quality requirements of polar fleece in clothing are not too high.
Main ingredients
Polar fleece: generally 100% polyester.
According to the specifications of polyester, it is subdivided into: filament, spun, and micro-polar fleece.
Among them, the superfine quality is the best and the price is the highest! In addition, there is a drop-needle polar fleece (Drop-needle polar fleece), which also accounts for a larger proportion.
At the same place, there is also the polar fleece with spandex (spandex). Because the quality is difficult to master, the technology needs to be further improved.
Zhejiang’s polar fleece is the cheapest, but the quality is difficult to say. Shanghai’s polar fleece is of good quality, but the price is high; Suzhou’s price and quality are in the middle of the two.
Polar fleece is divided into long fiber and short fiber:
The price of short fiber polar fleece is slightly higher than that of long fiber polar fleece.
Staple fiber polar fleece is generally woven from 32S polyester yarn. In English (100% polyester spun polar fleece), hemp gray polar fleece is also a staple fiber polar fleece.
Long-fiber polar fleece is generally woven from polyester filaments, and can be woven into full polyester 150D96F, 150D48F, 150D144F, 150D288F, 75D72F, 75D144F, 100D144F, 100D288F, etc. 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 polar fleece. For example, 100D144F, 150D144F and other polar fleece are already ultra-fine fleece.
Long-fiber polar fleece can be divided into low-stretch silk polar fleece (DTY) and bright silk (FDY). Their English expression is (100% polyester Micro-polar fleece). The width of the door is generally 60 inches, and the weight is average. Between 150-450 grams. In general, long-fiber polar fleece is mostly used to make blankets.
Polar fleece can be used as clothes, and the price ranges from 300 to 2000 yuan. In addition, polar fleece can be used as bedding, carpets, coats, jackets, vests, windbreakers, cheerleader logos, polar fleece gloves, scarves, hats, pillows, cushions, etc.
Most of them are exported to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada and other countries.
Difference
Polar fleece with ordinary fabric
It is a small ingot knitted structure, woven on a large circular machine. After weaving, the grey fabric is first dyed, and then processed by various complex finishing processes such as napping, combing, shearing and polarizing. The front side of the fabric is napped, and the polarizing is dense and fluffy. And it is not easy to shed hair and pilling, the back side is sparse and well-proportioned, the fluff is short, the texture is clear, and the fluffy elasticity is excellent.
It is the first choice for domestic winter protection in the past two years.
Spandex (up to 5%) and T/R polar fleece can be added during the weaving process of polar fleece, and the technology needs to be further improved.
Special treatment of the fabric, for example, adding antistatic additives, anti-flame retardant additives, infrared additives and so on. For some special polar fleece, for example, the antistatic fiber is added to the fabric during the weaving process, and the polar fleece with this kind of fiber is still not much in the domestic market.
Polar fleece can also be compounded with all fabrics to make the effect of keeping out the cold better. For example: polar fleece and polar fleece composite, polar fleece and denim composite, polar fleece and lamb fleece composite, polar fleece and mesh fabric composite with waterproof and breathable film in the middle, and so on.
In addition, polar fleece can be divided into plain and printed. According to individual requirements, plain polar fleece can be divided into drop-needle polar fleece, emboss polar fleece, Jacquard polar fleece and so on. According to different printing paddles, printed polar fleece has more than 200 varieties of colors such as penetration printing, rubber paddle printing, and transfer printing color strips. This fabric has novel and unique patterns, colorful colors, natural and smooth pattern, and is recognized by people from all walks of life.
In terms of the price of polar fleece, in China, the width of polar fleece is generally about 150cm, some are as wide as 230cm, and the weight ranges from 180 to 450g. The price should consider the cost of raw materials, weaving, weaving loss, dyeing, dyeing loss, and finishing costs. In terms of fabric prices, the cheapest is the Zhejiang market, but Changshu in Jiangsu is also relatively cheap. Polar fleece fabric is already a popular fabric with low price and high taste.
Composite polar fleece and double-sided polar fleece
Composite polar fleece is made of two kinds of polar fleece of the same quality or different through the processing of a compound machine, and then they are laminated together. Double-sided polar fleece is a double-sided polar pilling process. The price is generally relatively higher for composite polar fleece.
But for general blankets, there are more composite polar fleece, but some customers need two kinds of polar fleece of the same quality to be sewn together, no composite, but that kind of washing is not very convenient. In addition, there are more polar fleece filaments for blankets.
Polar fleece and woolen cloth
The feel of polar fleece is relatively soft, and there are obvious particles, and the composition of the woolen material generally contains wool, under normal circumstances, its feel is relatively hard.
Generally good woolen cloth is soft and clean, with a smooth and oily feeling; and it can also be divided into many types: for example: pure woolen woolen cloth and chemical fiber woolen cloth, there is a clear difference in appearance: pure wool is soft and shiny, and The chemical fiber has a darker gloss; the pure wool has a soft hand, and the chemical fiber is stiff and not soft; the pure wool has good elasticity and good recovery, while the chemical fiber has obvious creases after grasping and relaxing.
Identify quality methods
First of all, you have to be clear about what it is used for. For example: making blankets, clothes, etc. This requires the needs of each customer. Generally, the long-fiber polar fleece used to make blankets is mostly. The price of short fiber polar fleece is slightly higher than that of 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 fleece. For example, 100D/144F, 150D/144F and other polar fleece are already ultra-fine fleece. Long-fiber polar fleece can be divided into low-stretch silk polar fleece (DTY) and bright silk (FDY). Their English expression is (100% polyester Micro-polar fleece). As far as the place of origin is concerned, the quality is Shanghai and Jiangsu’s Kunshan and Changzhou , Jiangyin, etc. are higher.
