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

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

Functional coated fabrics and functional textile flame retardant fabrics each have their own special functions, but their definitions, manufacturing, protective properties and washing methods are quite different.

1. By definition

The functional coating fabric is mainly to use a special process to coat a layer of special functional materials on the fabric (such as anti-static coating, the coating after the processing of flame-retardant coating is processed into anti-static fabric, flame-retardant fabric), so that the fabric has a A special function is the functional coating fabric.

Functional textile fabrics are blended with special fibers during spinning. (For example, a new type of conductive yarn or metal fiber blended yarn is added to the antistatic fabric, and the high-tech fiber aramid 1313/aramid 1414/conductive fiber is added to the high-temperature flame-retardant fabric to blend in a certain proportion).

Fabrics woven from different fibers have a variety of functions.

2. In terms of protective performance

Products made from functional coated fabrics have unique protective properties.

For example, antistatic fabrics have antistatic properties after the surface of the fabric is treated with an antistatic coating.

This fabric has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as low cost and easy weaving.

The disadvantage is that the function is limited to anti-static, and the anti-static performance of the coating is not long-term, and external factors can easily cause the anti-static performance to attenuate or even disappear, thus affecting the safety performance.

Functional textile flame retardant fabric woven products also have protective properties.

For example, antistatic fabrics. Antistatic fabrics made of new conductive filament or metal fiber blended yarn can be divided into three categories: pure cotton, polyester cotton and chemical fiber.

Due to the added yarn during weaving, the fabric has strong antistatic properties. However, it also has advantages and disadvantages, such as excellent antistatic properties, not easy to be affected by the outside world, and not limited to antistatic. After special processing, it can also have more functions such as flame retardant, oil resistance, and waterproofing.

The disadvantage is that the cost is too high, daily maintenance needs to be paid attention to, and the performance of the conductive wire should be carefully checked when selecting.

3. In terms of maintenance and washing methods

The functional coated fabric is coated, so it is strictly forbidden to contact any chemical detergent when washing, so as not to react with the surface functional coating, thereby reducing the protective performance and even damaging the fabric.

And in daily wear, it is easy to vacuum and difficult to keep clean.

Since functional textiles add various functional fibers, no chemical coatings are involved.

Therefore, it not only has unique protective properties, but also has the properties of dustproof, washable, dry cleaning and so on.

After the above detailed explanation, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of these two different types of fabrics, but at the end of the editor, although the price of functional coated fabrics is low, the protective performance provided is not high, and it is difficult to maintain and cleaning, so it is not recommended for you to use.

Although functional textile flame retardant fabrics are a bit expensive, they are superior to coated fabrics in terms of protective performance, multi-function, maintenance and washing.

In any case, safety comes first, so choose functional textile flame retardant fabrics to add a sense of security to your life.
