What are functional fabrics and what are the common categories?

Functional fabrics refer to in addition to the characteristics of the fabric itself, but also have the functions of water repellency, static electricity and so on, generally in order to adapt to some extraordinary environments and finishing, there are many types of functional fabrics, the following will introduce you to several common functional fabrics.

Author:

Water-blocking fabric: It is usually made of PTFE membrane and laminating fabric, the new water-blocking fabric in addition to water resistance, it can also say that the internal moisture is discharged to the outside and evaporates, the air permeability has been greatly improved compared to before, and the occurrence of mildew has been greatly reduced.

Color-changing fabrics: This is a fabric that will change color with the change of the external environment (heating temperature, etc.), and the discolored material can be coated on the cloth surface when finishing, and the color-changing fabric is mainly used in transportation uniforms, swimsuits and other clothing, and some performance costumes will also use color-changing fabrics.

Fireproof fabrics: fireproof fabrics are also a new type of functional fabrics, which are made of polyester/cotton after fireproof agent treatment, the fabric is non-toxic, safe and washable, and fireproof fabrics will be used in metallurgy, chemical industry and fire-fighting protective clothing.

Thermal insulation fabric: As the name suggests, it is a fabric with an insulating effect, which is achieved by converting solar energy into heat.

Antistatic fabric: This fabric can survive static electricity to a large extent, and the dust in the air is not simply attached to the work clothes, and will be used in the production of dustproof clothing and carpet and other fabrics.

Anti-radiation fabric: The metal is infiltrated into the cloth by electrolysis, so as to achieve the effect of anti-radiation, which is used more in the telecommunication transmitter room. Another type of radiation-resistant fabric is a chemical fiber fabric that draws metal into filaments and blends it with fabric, but the radiation protection effect is not as good as that of other species.

Antibacterial and deodorant fabrics: With the upgrading of technology, the antibacterial properties of fabrics have been particularly perfect, and have been gradually applied to the field of workwear and home textiles.

Electromagnetic wave shielding fabric: This kind of fabric is mainly used to reduce the impact of electromagnetic waves emitted by televisions, computers and other equipment on the human body, but it is not used much in home work clothes.
