一、What is Microfiber?
Microfiber is the terminology used to describe ultra-fine manufactured fibers and the name given to the technology of developing these fibers. The fabrics made from these extra-fine fibers provide a superior hand, and incredible softness that come in cloth, towel, Mop, and many customizes application such as bath robe, baby towel etc.
Many definition about microfiber yarn, but mostly saying in general term that, yarn which is less than 1 denier. The name microfiber refers to the technology of developing ultra-fine fibers measuring only 0.006mm in diameter which means 10 times finer than silk, 30 times finer than cotton, 40 times finer than wool, and 100 times finer than human hair. Just one pound of fibers could wrap around the earth’s equator more than 10 times. The diameter or fineness of a continuous or filament fiber—the lower the number, the finer the fiber, which in turn is more effective for cleaning surfaces.
There are four types of synthetic microfibers being produced but state-of-the-art fabrics for Microfibre cleaning cloths most commonly used in creation of two polymers, that is, nylon and polyester. Polyester is lyophilic which ensures affinity to dirt and oil while Polyamide (Nylon ) is hydrophilic which ensures water absorption.
二、What is the difference of 100%polyester and 80%polyester 20%polyamide for one microfiber cloth?
The price of 100%polyester is cheaper.
The surface of 100%polyester is smooth.
The water-absorbing qualityof 80%polyester20%polyamide is better.
三、Why Microfiber cloth is so effective for cleaning and toweling?
– Fine Fibers
Microfibers penetrate into surfaces at a finer level than normal fibers removing higher levels of dirt and grease whilst and creating a larger overall surface area 40 times greater than that of a regular fiber due to weakening the uprightness of the fibres. And it creates Static electricity, like a magnet, polyester and polyamide which has a natural positive electric charge that will attract the negatively charged dust, dirt, pollen, mite, more over clean at a microscopic level such as bacteria, so that chemical use is reduced or not required giving environmental savings through the reduction in chemicals released into the environment.
-Capillary Power
This is created because of the millions of uneven fibers created during the splitting process, which makes the products absorb extremely well (seven times its own weight in water ).
When used damp the extremely fine fibres create a capillary effect within the cloth sucking up and holding liquid/dirt from the surface into the inner fibres of the cloth.
Although the products may be the same size the actual surface area of Microfibres is much larger. As microfibres are so fine, the surface of the product is increased and the area for storing dirt and grease through capillary action is far greater than in traditional products.
With the effect of capillary action ‘sucking’ the dirt/moisture from the surface the dirt and grease is retained within the fibres and only minute particles are released back onto the surface – removing the need for a second drying pass (evaporate it). Dries in 1/3 the time of ordinary cleaning towels.
The sharp edges of millions of these fibers cut through dried-in stains, attracting and absorbing dirt and micro-particles, enabling the fiber to clean and polish at the same time, eliminating the need for additional chemical cleansers. Therefore, only water is needed as a detergent to clean any type of surface.
