The characteristics of sports fabrics mainly include the following aspects:
● Functional characteristics:
Warmth: Sportswear needs to be light and warm. Nano-ceramic powders such as chromium oxide and magnesium oxide are often added to synthetic fibers. These powders can absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy, while reflecting far infrared rays emitted by the human body, and have good heat preservation and heat storage performance.
Waterproof and breathable: You will sweat a lot during exercise, and you will also encounter wind and rain. Through special coating treatment, the surface of the fabric and the yarn can be waterproof and breathable, ensuring that sweat and rain will not penetrate the clothes.
Antibacterial and deodorant: Exercise causes a large amount of sweat and sebaceous glands to secrete, which is easy to breed microorganisms and produce odor. Antibacterial and deodorant chemical finishing can effectively reduce odor and itching.
Anti-fouling and easy to remove stains: Sportswear is easy to stain, but it also needs to be easy to wash. Through special finishing agent treatment, the surface of the fabric can be made not easy to stain, and easy to wash and remove stains.
Antistatic and radiation-proof finishing: The static problem of chemical fiber fabrics is more prominent. Through special antistatic finishing agent treatment, the generation and accumulation of static electricity can be effectively reduced .
● Common materials and their characteristics:
Nylon: Lightweight, wear-resistant, tear-resistant, often used to make outdoor clothing and backpacks, etc. Its advantages include high strength, high wear resistance, good chemical resistance and deformation resistance, but it feels harder .
Polyester: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, widely used in outdoor clothing. Its advantages include good air permeability and moisture discharge, strong acid and alkali resistance and UV resistance, but poor moisture absorption .
Spandex: High elasticity and high stretchability, often used to improve the movement and drape of fabrics. Its weakness is that it has weak alkali resistance and is prone to yellowing and brittleness when exposed to chlorine or ultraviolet rays .
Knitted cotton: light, breathable, elastic and easy to stretch, it is a commonly used sports fabric .
Pure cotton cloth: sweat-absorbent and breathable, but easy to wrinkle and poor drape .
Nano fabric: light, wear-resistant, breathable, suitable for various sports occasions .
3D spacer fabric: 3D technology is used to create a texture effect, which is light, breathable and flexible .
Mechanical mesh fabric: helps the body recover faster after stress, reducing muscle fatigue and swelling .
Seersucker: light and soft, with good warmth retention performance
