In daily sock production, the following raw materials are used to introduce each consumer one by one.
It can be roughly divided into the following categories: a: plant fibers; b: animal fibers; c: synthetic fibers and regenerated fibers. Plants include: cotton, hemp, kapok, and other animal species include: wool, free hair, camel hair, silk, etc. Synthetic fibers include: polyester, polypropylene, acrylic, nylon, etc. Synthetic fibers refer to raw materials that combine two types of materials, including cotton fiber, cotton polyester, wool fiber, cotton linen, etc. Introduction to commonly used raw materials:
Combed cotton (all cotton):
A. Combed cotton: Use a combing machine to remove shorter fibers (about 1cm or less) from cotton fibers, leaving behind longer and more neat fibers. The yarn spun from combed cotton is finer and of better quality. The fabric made of combed cotton yarn has a high quality level in texture, washing resistance, and durability. Combing and regular combing are processes that only cover the veil. Combed cotton yarn is smoother, and the resulting fabric has a smooth surface without any knots. The effect of dyeing is also good.So,a pair of cotton socks is already produced.
b. Recycled cotton (cotton fabric processed into cotton)
C. Modiel (regenerated cellulose fiber Modiel 50 mixed with combed cotton 50) Modiel socks: Material: Modiel mixed with combed cotton. Modal fiber is made from beech wood, a European type of high moisture modulus regenerated cellulose fiber. It is first made into wood pulp and then processed into fibers through specialized spinning processes. The entire production process of the fiber is pollution-free,
Features: It has a pleasant soft touch and drape, as well as excellent durability
d. Bamboo fiber (bamboo fiber 50 and 50 fine Hangzhou cotton blend)
Bamboo fiber socks: Material: Bamboo fiber mixed with combed cotton. Bamboo fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from high-quality natural bamboo as raw material, processed by special high-tech processes such as bamboo and spinning to extract cellulose from the bamboo, and then processed into glue. Not containing any chemical additives. Features: good breathability, instant water absorption, strong wear resistance, hand withered and rough color stove; Soft: bright colors; Strong toughness and wear resistance, with unique resilience.
e. Mercerized cotton (all cotton)
Mercerized cotton socks: Material: combed cotton
Mercerized cotton is made from cotton as raw material, which is finely spun into high woven yarn. It is then processed through special processes such as singeing and mercerizing to produce high-quality, smooth, bright, soft, and wrinkle resistant mercerized yarn.
Features: It retains the excellent natural characteristics of raw cotton and has a silky luster, with a soft hand feel, moisture absorption and breathability, and excellent elasticity and drape.
f. Wool (blend of wool and combed cotton)
Wool cotton socks: Material: a blend of wool and combed cotton. Features: Good elasticity, strong moisture absorption, good warmth retention, and other advantages
G
g. Rabbit wool (rabbit wool+wool+acrylic blend)
h. Milk fiber: 32S/1, 40S/1 (milk fiber 50 mixed with 50 combed cotton)
Milk fiber socks: Material: a blend of milk fiber and combed cotton. Milk fiber is extracted from the milk meal made from liquid milk and processed into milk filament or short fiber through special processes.
Features: Lightweight, soft, smooth, able to maintain and improve skin texture, with special biological health functions. i. Bamboo carbon and Ya carbon: 32S/1, 40S/1 (bamboo carbon 50 and 50 combed cotton blend)
Bamboo charcoal socks: Material: Bamboo charcoal mixed with combed cotton. Blended Yarn Carbon and Fine Cotton
Bamboo charcoal is made from bamboo as raw material, using a new calcination process and technology of pure oxygen, high temperature, and nitrogen barrier delay, which refines and honeycomb the inherent micropores of bamboo charcoal. Then, it is melted and spun with polyester modified chips with a honeycomb like microporous structure trend. Features: Comfortable touch, heat storage and warmth preservation, strong health function, and the ability to decompose odors and eliminate odors.
j. (Lyocell fiber) commonly known as Tencel: (natural reconstituted fiber)
32S/1, 40S/1
Tencel: is a new type of artificial cellulose fiber, named “LYOCELL” by the International Bureau of Artificial Fibers in 1989. It is produced by using organic solvents to spin cellulose from trees, which is achieved through physical action. The entire manufacturing process is non-toxic and pollution-free. Therefore, “Tian Si” is known as the green fiber of the 21st century, which has the characteristics of soft and hanging, unique touch, graceful and dynamic feeling, breathability and breathability. Qin Yaohao’s egg head produces a large amount of natural water, which is deeply used to provide people with satisfaction, safety, and elegant luster. The pure cotton fabric filled with Tian Si fiber is comfortable and breathable, anti mite and anti-static, and has the advantages of strong durability, good elasticity, wrinkle resistance, and easy cleaning. The new generation of nanowires has become a focus of attention and promotion in the market.
k. Air conditioning fiber, also known as Siwei air conditioning fiber, is a new type of “smart” fiber that can also be understood literally, with the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer. Air conditioning fiber: The key technology is to use microcapsules to wrap (microcapsules refer to a type of thermal sensitive phase change material with a polymer wall shell and micro containers or packaging. Microcapsule granulation technology is the technology of embedding, sealing solid, liquid or gas in a micro capsule to become a solid particle product.) This material has the function of absorbing, storing, and releasing heat in the form of latent heat. It can transform between solid and liquid states during temperature changes, achieving the effect of absorbing and releasing heat.
m. Alloy germanium:
Gold germanium is a type of health fiber that has functions such as negative ion, far-infrared, four shell health preservation, and promoting blood circulation. By utilizing the characteristics of the original material of alloy germanium: semiconductor properties, it can be placed into fine yarns to improve the previously easy to produce static nanoparticle formation! The chemical fibers of electricity give it an anti-static effect.
Mica Ice Cool Fiber Mother Ice Cool Fiber is a new generation of cooling and heat dissipation material that combines polyester and nylon as carriers with nano mica. It has a natural layered structure and a dual effect of “thermal conductivity and water content”, and its chemical properties are stable. It has a pearl luster, UV resistance, high temperature resistance, strong hydration, and high brightness, making it a truly natural cooling effect.
nylon
70D/2
Nylon (nylon) is a general term for all the acrylic fibers used in the production of Yuwei Yun Cup. Good performance, nylon is generally used to make jacquard thread. 1. It can be better dyed with good light and refractive index. 2. Nylon has good elasticity and can be woven on socks to better adsorb woven fabrics
dacron
75D/1
Polyester is an important variety of synthetic fibers and is the trade name for polyester fibers in China. The surface of polyester is smooth, heat-resistant, wear-resistant, and second only to the best wear-resistant nylon, with poor beam color resistance.
spandex
Spandex fiber is the abbreviation for polyurethane fiber, with the trade name Lecla. Spandex is a synthetic fiber that contains over 85% of the components of polyurethane
There are two types of spandex fibers, one is a mosaic copolymer of aromatic diisocyanase and hydroxyl containing polyester segments (referred to as polyester spandex), and the other is a mosaic copolymer of aromatic diisocyanate and hydroxyl containing polyether segments (referred to as polyether spandex). Spandex fibers, elastic polyolefin fibers, and elastic composite fibers are collectively referred to as elastic fibers, Shuwu Wei uses a type of fiber that has both rubber and fiber properties. The core yarn made of spandex is called elastic core yarn. The main feature of this yarn is that it can achieve good hand feel and appearance, and the outer fiber composed of natural fibers has good moisture absorption.
The above are basically the basic production materials for socks. How about it? Did it shock you? It turns out that there is so much knowledge hidden inside these small socks. In the next issue, we will share with you some relevant characteristics of these sock materials.
