to make a textile product...
|
fibers -> yarns -> fabrics
|
|
|
textile supply change
|
fibers, yarns, fabrics, end product, wholesaler/retailer, consumer/user
|
|
|
fibers
|
pliable, hair-like substance that is very small in diameter in relationship to its length
|
|
|
yarns
|
laid or twisted fibers together to form a strand
|
|
|
fabrics
|
any braided, felted, woven, knotted, or non-woven material
|
|
|
requirements of textile labeling
|
generic content in order, name and/or registered number, and country of origin
|
|
|
melt spinning
|
synthetic & inorganic fibers, chemicals combined to create base substance, flake or bead, faster and more efficient
|
|
|
dry spinning
|
regenerated or synthetic fibers, natural materials dissolved in chemicals, extruded into warm air
|
|
|
wet spinning
|
rayon and some acrylics, chemical reacts with solution, irregular cross section
|
|
|
amorphous
|
cotton, random arrangement, absorbent, weak (no bonds), wrinkles, not very resilient (bounces back)
|
|
|
crystalline
|
nylon & silk, orderly arrangement, not absorbent, strong bonds, not as flexible, more resilient, usually manufactured but not silk
|
|
|
absorbency
|
ability to take in water such as wool and cotton
|
|
|
hydrophilic
|
readily absorbs water or other liquids
|
|
|
hydrophobic
|
does not absorb water readily such as polyester
|
|
|
wicking
|
liquid traveling along surface of the fiber but is not absorbed into the fiber
|
|
|
hydroscopic
|
fiber takes and retains moisture from the air (wool)
|
|
|
oleophilic
|
strong affinity for oil-based substances (polyester)
|
|
|
shape & contour
|
cross section & longitude
|
|
|
luster
|
amount of light reflected by fiber (natural fibers -> more subtle, manufactured fibers -> bright luster)
|
|
|
cellulosic
|
seed hair, bast (stem), leaf
|
|
|
protein
|
animal hair (sheep, etc.), silk
|
|
|
natural cellulosic fibers
|
low resiliency
hydrophobic burns easily attacked by silverfish shrinks in heat |
|
|
natural protein fibers
|
very absorbent
hygroscopic does not burn easily affected by acids and alkalis |
