Golf fabric-velveteen fabric characteristics and applications
Velveteen fabric is a kind of wool fabric, which is a higher-end product among cotton fabrics. The surface of this fabric is covered with upright piles, and the pile height is generally about 1.2mm, forming a flat pile surface, so it is called velveteen. Before the emergence of chenille home textile fabrics, velveteen fabrics were the main material for sofa cloths and curtain fabrics. However, because they were relatively expensive, their sales were not widespread. Due to the demand in the high-end home textile market in the past two years, velveteen fabrics have experienced a small upsurge among ordinary home textile fabrics in the international market. Velveteen fabrics are divided into two varieties: plain woven and jacquard. The shedding equipment uses dobby machines and jacquard machines respectively. There are many varieties of velveteen fabrics, which can be made into various styles. For example, velveteen fabrics with Italian weave can be made with both jacquard suede effect and jacquard plain weave effect. At present, there are very few home textile companies in my country that own velveteen looms. Recently, some companies have shown strong interest in this product.
Velveteen fabric has the following characteristics:
1. The wear resistance is 4-5 times higher than that of ordinary fabrics. Because the surface of the velvet fabric is the fiber cross section in contact with the outside world, friction on the bottom of the cloth is avoided.
2. The surface of velveteen is densely covered with towering piles, so it feels soft, has good elasticity, has a soft luster, and the surface is not easy to wrinkle.
3. The cloth body is thick, and the fluff on the surface can form an air layer, so it has good warmth retention.
Therefore, velveteen fabric is very popular among people and is often used in daily life and architectural decoration.
Velveteen fabrics can be divided into two categories: warp velvet and weft velvet according to the formation method of fluff. Warp velvet is made by cutting the double layers of the fabric from the middle to form a single layer of fabric, which is processed by brushing and other post-processing; weft velvet is made by cutting the weft and weft and is processed by brushing and other post-processing. Warp velvet generally has a longer pile, complex weaving process, and more weaving defects, but it is more efficient and has a simple weaving process; weft velvet has a thin texture, good hand feel and gloss, but the finishing process is more complicated. At present, most of the velveteen fabrics produced in China are warp velveteen. Only a few factories have velveteen products.
(1) Appearance
The appearance of excellent velveteen fabric products should meet the requirements of plump and upright piles, even and even density, smooth and smooth suede surface, soft color, small directionality, soft and smooth feel, and elasticity.
(2) Characteristic indicators of velvet fabrics
1. Velvet cross-sectional coverage
Velvet cross-sectional coverage is the percentage of the sum of the villi cross-sectional areas and the total area of the ground cloth. High pile cross-section coverage indicates good fullness of the pile.
2. Suede pile height
Suede pile height refers to the average height of a single pile standing upright on the surface of the fabric after cutting. When the height of the pile is higher, the suede surface is straighter and less elastic, but the suede surface is plumper.
3. Suede fullness
The suede fullness refers to the volume of pile on the ground cloth per unit area. It includes two factors: villi coverage and villi height. The unit of suede fullness is “density”. The higher the “density” number, the plumper the suede. The common suede fullness of weft velveteen is about 11 dens, and the suede fullness of warp velveteen is about 15 dens.
4. The tightness of pile consolidation
The tightness of pile consolidation indicates the degree to which the pile yarns are squeezed by the arrangement of ground warp yarns and pressed pile warp yarns in the fabric structure. The greater the consolidation tightness, the better the fluff consolidation fastness and the less likely it is to remove hair. The consolidation tightness of weft velveteen is expressed by the tissue tightness in the direction of pile and weft yarns. Its value is equal to the sum of the warp tightness of the fabric plus the tightness of the interweaving points of pile yarns and warp yarns. The pile consolidation tightness of warp velvet represents the degree to which the pile warp yarns are squeezed by the weft yarn arrangement in the fabric structure.
5. Suede coverage uniformity
Suede coverage uniformity is expressed by the ratio of the warp and weft spacing of the suede piles. It is an important indicator of whether you can get a good velveteen style. The closer to 100% uniformity of pile coverage, the better. When this indicator is equal to 100%, it means that the distance between the warp and weft directions of the pile is equal. At this time, the pile on the suede surface is evenly distributed, plump, without streaks, and has a good velveteen style.
(3) Application of velvet fabrics
Velveteen fabrics are mainly used for interior decoration, covering walls or columns and furniture cushions. In recent years, it has been mainly used for the decoration of high-end cars. Real high-end cars do not use genuine leather for decoration, but use velveteen.
