The difference between functional coated fabrics and functional textile flame retardant fabrics


2021-11-30

What is the difference between functional coated fabric and functional textile flame-retardant fabric? Both functional coated fabrics and functional textile flame-retardant fabrics have their special functions, but their definitions, manufacturing, protective properties, and washing methods are completely different. The difference between these two fabrics will be explained in detail below.

  What is the difference between functional coated fabric and functional textile flame-retardant fabric? Both functional coated fabrics and functional textile flame-retardant fabrics have their special functions, but their definitions, manufacturing, protective properties, and washing methods are completely different. The difference between these two fabrics will be explained in detail below.

  1. In terms of definition

  Functional coating fabrics are mainly coated with a special functional material based on the fabric using a special process (such as anti-static coatings, fire-retardant coatings, processed and coated to produce anti-static fabrics, flame-retardant fabrics). Make the fabric have a special function, which is called functional coated fabric.

  Functional textile fabrics are blended with special fibers during weaving. (For example, the anti-static fabric is mixed with new conductive yarn or metal fiber, and the high-tech fiber aramid 1313/aramid 1414/conductive fiber is blended according to a certain ratio in the high-temperature flame-retardant fabric). Weave according to different fibers. The fabric woven by the entrance has various functions.

  2, in terms of protective performance

  Products made of functional coated fabrics have unique protective properties, such as anti-static fabrics. After the surface of the fabric is treated with anti-static coatings, the fabric has anti-static properties. This kind of fabric has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is low cost and easy weaving. , The disadvantage is that the functionality is only limited to anti-static, and the use of coating treatment, anti-static performance is not long, external factors are likely to attenuate or even disappear the anti-static performance, thereby affecting the safety performance. Products woven from functional textile flame-retardant fabrics also have protective properties. For example, anti-static fabrics. Anti-static fabrics woven with new conductive yarns or metal fiber blended yarns are divided into three categories: pure cotton, polyester cotton, and chemical fiber. Because the fabric is a yarn added during weaving, it has strong anti-static properties. But there are also advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has excellent anti-static performance, is not easily affected by the outside world, and is not limited to anti-static. After special processing, it can also have more functions such as fire retardant, oil and water repellent. The disadvantage is that the cost is too high, and daily maintenance needs to be paid attention to, and the performance of the conductive wire should be carefully checked when selecting.

  3. From the perspective of maintenance and washing methods

  Functional coated fabrics are processed by coating, so it is strictly forbidden to touch any chemical detergent during washing to prevent reaction with surface functional coatings, thereby reducing the protective performance and even damaging the fabric. And in daily wear, it is easy to absorb dust, and it is difficult to maintain cleanliness.

  Functional textiles are added with various functional fibers and do not involve chemical coating. Therefore, it not only has the unique protective performance, but also has the performance of dustproof, washable, dry cleaning and so on.

  After the above detailed explanation, I believe you have a better understanding of these two different types of fabrics, but the editor finally reminds that although the price of functional coated fabrics is low, the protection performance provided is really not high, and it is difficult to maintain and wash. It is not recommended for everyone.

  Although functional textile flame-retardant fabrics are slightly expensive, they are better than coated fabrics in terms of protection performance, versatility, and maintenance and washing. In any case, safety is the first priority, so choose functional Textile flame-retardant fabrics add a piece of safety to your life.
