What are 5 types of textile elastic fibers?

Textile elastic fibers can give the human body a good sense of contact, and play an irreplaceable role in the wearing comfort and shape retention of clothing. Therefore, they occupy a stable position in textile fibers. Certain elasticity of textile fabrics made by textile testing equipment has become an inevitable development trend of clothing textiles.There are 5 types of textile elastic fibers:

 

1. Polyurethane fiber (spandex)

 

Polyurethane textile elastic fiber refers to a fiber made of a block copolymer with polyurethane as the main component. Its elasticity comes from its molecular structure consisting of so-called "soft" and "hard" segments of the block copolymer network structure.


Spandex spinning methods include dry spinning, wet spinning, chemical reaction spinning and melt spinning. Dry spinning technology is currently the most common method of spandex industrial production. Spandex is an earlier developed and most widely used variety of textile elastic fibers with the most mature production technology. The performance of spandex textile elastic fiber is better than that of rubber silk textile elastic fiber.

 

2. Polyetherester textile elastic fiber

 

Polyetherester textile elastic fiber is a textile elastic fiber made of polyester and polyether copolymer through melt spinning. Polyetherester textile elastic fibers are similar in structure to polyurethane textile elastic fibers, and they also have "segment" structural characteristics. The "soft" segment is mainly polyether segment, which has good flexibility, longer chain, and easy to stretch and deform; the "hard" segment is a polyester segment, which is relatively rigid and easy to crystallize. The chain is short. It acts as a node when deformed by force, imparts elastic recovery performance, and determines the strength and heat resistance of the fiber.

 

Polyetherester textile elastic fiber not only has high strength, but also good elasticity, and has a high melting point. It can be blended with PET fiber and can be dyed at 120~130 ℃, so polyester fiber can also be processed into elastic textile. In addition, their light resistance is excellent, chlorine bleaching resistance, acid and alkali resistance, etc. are better than ordinary spandex.This kind of fiber also has the advantages of cheap raw materials, easy production and processing, and it is a kind of more promising fiber.

 

3. Diene textile elastic fiber (rubber yarn)

 

Diene textile elastic fiber is commonly known as rubber yarn or elastic yarn. The main chemical component is vulcanized polyisoprene. It has good chemical and physical properties such as high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and abrasion resistance. It is widely used in socks and ribs. Rubber thread is a textile elastic fiber used in the early days. Because it is mainly made into coarse yarns, its use in woven fabrics is very limited.


4. Polyolefin textile elastic fiber (DOW XLA fiber)

 

Polyolefin textile elastic fiber is made by melt spinning of polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer. It is made by melt-spinning an ethylene-octene copolymer (POE) catalyzed by a metallocene catalyst for in-situ polymerization. 

 

Textile testing standards: It has good elasticity, 500% elongation at break; can withstand high temperatures of 220 ℃; resistant to chlorine bleaching and strong acid and alkali treatment; and has strong resistance to ultraviolet degradation. Its production process is relatively simple, the price of raw materials is lower than that of spandex, and at the same time, there is almost no pollution during the production process and it is easy to recycle. As polyolefin textile elastic fibers possess a variety of excellent properties, they have become increasingly widely used in recent years.


5. Composite textile elastic fiber (T400 fiber)

 

CONTEX is a two-component new composite elastic fiber that uses DuPont Sorona as the main raw material and is made with ordinary PET through advanced composite spinning technology; Permanent spiral crimp and excellent bulkiness, elasticity, elastic recovery rate, color fastness and particularly soft hand feeling, it can be woven alone or interwoven with cotton, viscose, polyester, nylon, etc. to form a variety of The kind of style.

 

It not only solves the problems of traditional spandex yarns that are not easy to dye, excessive elasticity, complex weaving, unstable fabric size, and easy aging during use, but also can be woven directly on air jet, water jet, arrow shaft looms, and does not need to be like spandex. In that way, it must be made into covered yarn before weaving on the machine, which reduces the cost of yarn and improves the quality uniformity of the product.

How to Hang a Suspended Ceiling From Steel Beams

The suspended ceiling hangs under the roof or floor structure above, hiding ugly mechanical and electrical equipment from the view, while also allowing you to easily reach these equipment as needed.While wooden frames usually support such ceilings, in rooms where metal frames are used instead of traditional wood, you can also hang ceilings from steel beams.Hanging the ceiling from the beam requires you to use a special clip to connect the support line to the beam without compromising its structural integrity.Measure 4 inch down from the bottom of the lowest beam, pipe or pipe in the ceiling space.If you plan to use panel fluorescent lamps in your ceiling, add an additional 2 inch to this measurement.Make a mark on the wall indicating the location of the facade.Set up a laser level to extend the mark you made on the wall to the entire wall length.Draw a chalk line on the wall to mark the position.Mark all four walls repeatedly with chalk lines indicating the height of the ceiling.Instal

Importance of Calibration Service, Material Testing

When it comes to Calibration services, genuine service providers offer full recall system and data sheets for all items calibrated. Service needs to be instrument specific. With the advent of technology, Calibration service has seen a tremendous change and has gone through various phases to get the top quality. Calibration is a great deal for industrial purpose. It makes sure that products are manufactured as per specification. It also checks the competence level of technically valid results. The calibrated measuring instrument helps in checking the quality and valuation of the product. In cases of electronic equipment, it is essential to calibrate instruments to keep a check on quality and performance. Calibration facilitates in improving measurement abilities. Calibration service can be manual or automated.  textile testing equipment manufacturers Material Testing machines are available for a wide variety of industries including materials testers for plastics, textiles, adhesives, fi

Level Measurement Solutions

Makeup water treatment is an important component of steam generation. It is the means to resupply the system with water suitable for boiler and other operations that, was lost in the cycle.The steam generation cycle, level control for the water treatment process is not necessarily about efficiency, but rather, accuracy, reliability and safety, while providing proper inventory management to ensure chemical and makeup water supply meets demand. The focus is on the chemical component of the makeup water treatment since it presents difficulties for level technologies that may work perfectly on non-chemical applications related to the water treatment process or those with limited variations in the contents of the vessel's vapor space. Although important measurements such as ammonia, acid, caustic and other chemical storage tanks are not difficult level applications by any stretch, small nuances in how the vessels are monitored relative to level technology can have a dramatic effect on t
