Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of woven fabric technology, specifically relating to a breathable, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying functional fabric and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] White or light colors are popular classic colors in the clothing industry, but for shirts, T-shirts, and trousers worn alone, using ordinary lightweight white or light-colored fabrics often results in issues such as see-through, visible nipples, and the display of underwear colors, affecting the appearance of the garment. Currently, common industry solutions include: increasing the density of the fabric texture, thickening the physical structure, using functional synthetic fiber yarns, and finishing with nano-additives or coatings. However, the first three methods significantly alter the feel and style of the fabric and, due to the high proportion of synthetic fibers, reduce the lightweight, breathability, and moisture-wicking comfort. While nano-finishing can improve concealing and see-through effects to some extent, its functional durability and washability are insufficient, and the see-through function gradually diminishes with repeated use and washing.

[0003] Chinese patent CN117261377A discloses a breathable, sweat-resistant, quick-drying, and UV-resistant fabric and its preparation method. This method primarily utilizes a multi-layer ultrasonic dispersion and addition technology, including nano-titanium dioxide and organic UV-resistant agent benzophenone, to impregnate ordinary polyester to obtain modified UV-resistant polyester. This modified polyester is then used to create an outer layer with UV-resistant properties. This is combined with a cotton-polyamide fiber interwoven sweat-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying middle layer and a cotton-silk interwoven skin-friendly inner layer. The fabric is then assembled through sequential layering and purely physical sewing. Due to its three-layer stacked structure and the use of functional nanoparticles and organic UV-resistant additives on the surface, this fabric exhibits good breathability, UV resistance, and moisture absorption, with a high moisture absorption rate. However, its quick-drying performance is not disclosed. Furthermore, due to the numerous layers, the overall weight is relatively heavy, resulting in less than ideal quick-drying performance and wearing comfort. Additionally, the fabric primarily achieves its UV resistance through a polyester yarn impregnation process, and its washability and stability require further verification.

[0004] Chinese patent CN116024718A discloses a highly breathable, lightweight, and opaque fabric and its preparation method. The method primarily involves adjusting the twist coefficient of a PET / PBT bicomponent high-shrinkage elastic polyester composite yarn with functional chemical fiber yarn containing inorganic particles to obtain opaque yarns with different crimp degrees. This is then combined with a random hemp weave structure of varying densities and a dyeing and finishing weight reduction process to achieve the fabric's drape, breathability, and light-blocking properties. However, this fabric is mainly composed of chemical fibers and has a less than ideal skin-friendly feel.

[0005] Chinese patent CN115386998A discloses an anti-UV and anti-permeability fabric and its preparation process. It also uses a high proportion of functional polyester yarn, achieving anti-permeability and anti-UV effects by adding titanium dioxide as a matting agent to the polyester yarn. This fabric lacks the skin-friendly properties of natural materials, and its disclosed warp and weft density is relatively low. Its anti-permeability and anti-UV effects require further testing data for verification.

[0006] In conclusion, there is an objective trade-off between a fabric's UV protection and breathability. Effective UV protection and breathability depend not only on the inherent properties of the fiber material but also on the tightness of the yarn structure, fabric weave design, and finishing processes. However, while denser yarns and tighter weaves improve the shielding effect, they often negatively impact the fabric's feel, texture, style, and breathability.

[0007] Therefore, how to achieve durable anti-permeability, UV protection, and moisture-wicking and quick-drying functions for white or light-colored fabrics while ensuring a certain proportion of natural fibers, maintaining skin-friendly comfort and good breathability, and taking into account both feel and functional stability, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a breathable, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying functional fabric and its manufacturing method, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies. This fabric achieves UV protection and breathability while also possessing high breathability and moisture-wicking properties. The skin-contact side contains natural fiber components, has a dry and draping feel, and a textured appearance. It is suitable for white or light-colored shirts and trousers.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a waterproof, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking and quick-drying functional fabric, comprising a fabric body woven from warp and weft yarns, wherein the warp yarns include front warp and back warp, and the weft yarns include front weft and back weft, wherein the front warp and the back warp are arranged alternately in a 2:1 ratio, and the front weft and the back weft are arranged alternately in a 1:1 ratio, wherein the front warp, the back warp, the front weft, and the back weft are interwoven to form the fabric body, wherein the front of the fabric body has a mesh honeycomb structure, wherein the front warp and the front weft are twisted functional polyester filaments, and the back warp and the back weft are natural fiber blended yarns.

[0010] This invention employs a restructured design with a 2:1 ratio of front warp to back warp and a 1:1 alternating ratio of front weft to back weft, creating a honeycomb mesh structure on the front of the fabric. The front warp and weft are made of twisted functional polyester filaments, forming a surface layer on the front of the fabric that reflects, refracts, and absorbs ultraviolet and visible light. The back warp and weft are made of natural fiber blended yarns, interwoven with the front weft to form the reverse skin-contact layer and the honeycomb recessed portion of the fabric. This fabric achieves its functionality through its structure and yarn construction, maintaining a drapey, dry feel and softness against the skin while utilizing the honeycomb mesh structure to diffuse visible light multiple times. This, combined with the shielding effect of the functional polyester filaments, enhances its anti-seepage and UV protection effects. The difference in fiber composition between the front and back of the fabric, along with the mesh structure, gives the fabric its moisture-wicking properties. According to testing, the fabric's anti-seepage performance reaches level 3-4 according to the national standard GB / T 42698-2023 Method B, its UV protection reaches UPF100+ according to the national standard GB / T 18830-2009, its air permeability is greater than 270mm / s, and according to the national standard GB / T 21655.2-2019, all its moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance indicators are not lower than level 4 before and after washing. The fabric has UV protection, high breathability, and moisture-wicking and quick-drying functions. It has a dry and draping feel and a textured feel. It is suitable for white or light-colored shirts and trousers, and has a significant anti-seepage effect.

[0011] Preferably, the front warp and the front weft are interwoven in a three-up, three-down pattern, and the honeycomb mesh structure is formed by long floats of the front warp on the front side of the fabric. The functional polyester filaments are exposed on the front side of the fabric as longer floats, minimizing contact with the skin and enhancing the shielding and reflection of ultraviolet and visible light. Simultaneously, the regular polygonal mesh structure allows for multiple diffuse reflections of visible light, reducing light transmittance and further improving the fabric's anti-see-through and anti-UV properties, while maintaining the delicate texture of the front side and the skin-friendly comfort of the back side.

[0012] Preferably, the natural fiber blended yarn is a multi-strand composite twisted yarn, formed by twisting vortex-spun blended yarn and compact-spun blended yarn together. Changes in yarn twist have a dual effect on both UV protection and breathability. With constant yarn density, increasing twist reduces the gaps between fibers, decreasing the channels for UV penetration. However, this also causes torque distortion in the yarn itself, increasing the gaps between adjacent yarns in the fabric. While this improves overall breathability, it weakens the UV protection performance. Different spinning methods also have varying effects on yarn structure and performance. Yarns produced by traditional processes such as ring spinning, compact spinning, and Siro spinning have smooth surfaces, smaller diameters, and tightly bound fibers, effectively blocking visible light penetration, but their breathability is somewhat affected. Vortex-spun yarn has a core-sheath structure, with parallel inner fibers and spirally wrapped outer fibers, resulting in more gaps between fibers. Its breathability is better than compact-spun yarn, but its light-blocking effect is weaker. This invention uses vortex-spun blended yarn and compact-spun blended yarn to form a multi-strand composite twisted yarn. During the twisting process, the core fibers of the vortex-spun yarn twist and shift to form a micro-spiral structure, which closes the direct light transmission channel and improves the light transmission defects caused by the fluffy structure of the vortex-spun yarn. At the same time, the core-sheath structure of the vortex-spun yarn itself retains the gaps between fibers, creating channels for air circulation. Combined with the smooth surface and tight fiber cohesion of the compact-spun yarn, the overall air permeability and light-blocking performance of the multi-strand composite twisted yarn are balanced, providing a structural basis for the fabric that is both breathable and light-blocking.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, the vortex-spun blended yarn is made of cotton fiber and Assyrian cotton fiber, and the compact-spun blended yarn is also made of cotton fiber and Assyrian cotton fiber. Cotton fiber itself has relatively weak UV protection and breathability. Regenerated cellulose fibers, such as viscose fiber, modal fiber, Tencel fiber, and cupro fiber, which have similar breathability and comfort to cotton, do not offer significant advantages in UV protection and breathability compared to cotton fiber. However, this invention utilizes the petal-shaped biomimetic cross-sectional structure of Assyrian cotton fiber, increasing the fiber's specific surface area by more than 30% compared to ordinary cotton fiber. This effectively increases the reflection and scattering paths of ultraviolet and visible light within the fiber, reducing penetration. Simultaneously, Assyrian cotton fiber has a natural matte texture, reducing surface specular reflection and decreasing transparency. The natural crimp structure of cotton fiber provides effective cohesion during spinning, ensuring yarn spinnability and structural stability, allowing the fabric to have both good skin-friendliness and UV protection and breathability on the skin-contact side.

[0014] Based on the established structural processes of vortex spinning and compact spinning multi-strand composite twisted yarns, the blending ratio of Assorted cotton fibers affects the UV protection and moisture absorption / breathability of the blended yarn. Both cotton and Assorted cotton fibers possess moisture absorption and breathability, but cotton fibers themselves have weaker UV protection and moisture absorption capabilities. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure an appropriate content ratio of Assorted cotton fibers in the blended yarn. Furthermore, extensive experiments have revealed that Assorted cotton fibers have a smooth surface and low cohesion, leading to problems such as poor fiber aggregation, easy breakage and scattering, and increased breakage rate during carding. The natural crimp structure of cotton fibers can effectively cohede with Assorted cotton fibers, improving spinning stability. Therefore, when blending in vortex spinning, it is necessary to balance the relationship between the Assorted cotton fiber content and the spinnability of the yarn. Taking the above considerations into account, as a further preferred option, the blending ratio of cotton fiber to Assorted cotton fiber in the vortex-spun blended yarn is (20~50):(50~80), and the yarn count is 80~120 S / 1; the blending ratio of cotton fiber to Assorted cotton fiber in the compact-spun blended yarn is (30~60):(40~70), the yarn count is 80~120 S / 1, and the twist is 1000~1800 twists / meter; the twist of the multi-strand composite twisted yarn is 600~1200 twists / meter. Within the above parameter range, the compactness, hairiness coefficient, and air permeability of the blended yarn are balanced, so that the yarn's reflection, refraction, and absorption of ultraviolet and visible light are optimal. At the same time, the shrinkage, gathering, and untwisting superposition effects generated during the twisting process can reduce the macroscopic gap between adjacent yarns, increase the yarn coverage coefficient of the mesh recessed parts, and improve the overall anti-permeability performance of the fabric.

[0015] Preferably, the functional polyester filament is a bicomponent composite spun polyester filament containing titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch. In the above-mentioned functional polyester filament, titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch are uniformly distributed inside the polyester filament, giving the polyester filament durable ultraviolet shielding and visible light reflection functions. This function originates from the fiber itself rather than finishing agents, and therefore has excellent wash resistance stability, which will not decrease with the increase of use and washing cycles.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, the total addition amount of titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch in the functional polyester filament is 16%; the specifications of the functional polyester filament are 75~150 D, the number of filaments F is 36~72, and the twist is 1000~1800 twists / meter. Within the above parameter range, the amount of functional powder added to the polyester filament is sufficient to form an effective shield against ultraviolet and visible light. The combination of the number of filaments and the twist allows the filament to form a uniform covering layer during weaving, reducing the light penetration channel, while ensuring that the filament has good weaving and processing performance.

[0017] Preferably, the warp density of the fabric body is 190-250 threads / inch, the weft density is 110-150 threads / inch, and the weight is 180-210 g / m². 2 Within the aforementioned density and weight range, the fabric has sufficient yarn coverage to ensure its UV protection and breathability, while achieving this functionality without the need for excessive density or thickness, thus maintaining its lightweight and drapey, dry feel.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment, in the fabric body, the functional polyester filament accounts for 50-70% by mass, the Assyrian cotton fiber accounts for 15-30% by mass, and the cotton fiber accounts for 10-20% by mass. Within the above component ratio range, the front side of the fabric has a sufficient proportion of functional polyester filament to ensure effective shielding against ultraviolet and visible light, while the skin-contact side has a sufficient proportion of Assyrian cotton fiber and cotton fiber to ensure good skin-friendliness, moisture absorption, and breathability. At the same time, the blending ratio of cotton fiber and Assyrian cotton fiber takes into account both the requirements of spinning stability and functionality.

[0019] A method for manufacturing the aforementioned breathable, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying functional fabric includes the following steps: using twisted functional polyester filaments as the outer warp and outer weft, and natural fiber blended yarns as the inner warp and inner weft, interlacing and weaving them in a ratio of 2:1 for the outer warp and 1:1 for the outer weft and inner weft to form the fabric body; and dyeing and finishing the fabric body to obtain the breathable, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying functional fabric.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. This invention utilizes a restructured design with a 2:1 ratio of front warp to back warp and a 1:1 alternating ratio of front weft to back weft, creating a honeycomb mesh structure on the front of the fabric. This is achieved through a combination of differentiated fibers—using twisted functional polyester filaments for the front warp and weft, and natural fiber blended yarns for the back warp and weft—and yarn structure technology, rather than simply relying on physical thickening or increased warp and weft density. The honeycomb mesh structure allows for multiple diffuse reflections of visible light, which, combined with the reflective, refractive, and absorbing properties of the functional polyester filaments, enhances the anti-see-through effect and UV resistance. Testing shows that the fabric's anti-see-through performance reaches level 3-4 according to GB / T 42698-2023 Method B, and its UV resistance reaches UPF100+ according to GB / T18830-2009, while maintaining a drapey and dry feel.

[0021] 2. The fabric of this invention, while possessing the aforementioned UV protection and breathability-proof functions, also has a breathability greater than 270mm / s. According to the national standard GB / T 21655.2-2019, all performance indicators for moisture absorption and quick-drying, before and after washing, are no lower than level 4. Based on a structural design where natural fiber components are exposed on the reverse side, the fabric has natural fiber components on the skin-contact side. In addition to achieving UV protection and breathability-proof functions, it also possesses high breathability and moisture absorption and quick-drying capabilities. It has a dry, draping feel and a textured feel, making it suitable for white or light-colored shirts and trousers, with a significant breathability-proof effect.

[0022] 3. The fabric manufacturing method of the present invention is simple and does not require additional layering or finishing coating processes. The function of the fabric comes from the fiber material and weaving structure itself, and it has durability and stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Raw materials, additives, processes, equipment, etc., not limited in this invention, all employ conventional techniques in the art.

[0025] Example 1: A breathable, UV-resistant, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying functional fabric, comprising a fabric body woven from warp and weft yarns. The warp yarns include front warp and back warp, and the weft yarns include front weft and back weft. The front warp and back warp interweave with the front weft and back weft to form the fabric body. The front side of the fabric body has a mesh honeycomb structure. The front warp and front weft are twisted functional polyester filaments, and the back warp and back weft are natural fiber blended yarns.

[0026] In Example 1, the fabric body adopts a restructured design, with the front warp and back warp arranged in a 2:1 ratio, and the front weft and back weft alternating in a 1:1 ratio, as shown in the weave diagram. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the interlacing structure of warp and weft yarns is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the picture, see the actual product image. Figure 3The warp and weft threads are interwoven in a 3-up, 3-down pattern, and the honeycomb mesh structure is formed by long floats of the warp threads on the front side of the fabric. Both the warp and weft threads are made of twisted bicomponent composite functional polyester filament (Zhejiang Yongsheng High Fiber "Yongbai Polyester"), with a total addition of 16% titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch, a specification of 100D, a filament count of 72 (F), and a twist of 1600 twists / meter. Both the warp and weft yarns use the same specification of natural fiber blended multi-ply composite twisted yarn. This multi-ply composite twisted yarn is made by twisting vortex-spun blended yarn and compact-spun blended yarn. In the vortex-spun blended yarn, the blend ratio of cotton fiber to Yassai cotton fiber (purchased from Yibin Siliya Company) is 40:60, and the yarn count is 100 S / 1; in the compact-spun blended yarn, the blend ratio of cotton fiber to Yassai cotton fiber is 40:60, the yarn count is 100 S / 1, and the twist is 1600 twists / meter; the twist of the multi-ply composite twisted yarn is 1000 twists / meter. The warp density of the fabric body is 234 ends / inch, the weft density is 132 ends / inch, and the weight is 185 g / m. 2 The fabric contains 60% functional polyester filament, 24% acecotton fiber, and 16% cotton fiber. The results of tests on the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties are shown in Table 1.

[0027] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 lies in the yarn count and twist of the natural fiber blended multi-ply composite twisted yarn used in the inner warp and weft. In the vortex-spun blended yarn, the blending ratio of cotton fiber to Assorted cotton fiber remains unchanged at 40:60, with a yarn count of 80 S / 1; in the compact-spun blended yarn, the blending ratio of cotton fiber to Assorted cotton fiber remains unchanged at 40:60, with a yarn count of 80 S / 1 and a twist of 1400 twists / meter; the twist of the multi-ply composite twisted yarn is 800 twists / meter. The fabric body has a warp density of 222 ends / inch, a weft density of 128 ends / inch, and a weight of 190 g / m. 2 The fabric contains 54% functional polyester filament, 28% acecotton fiber, and 18% cotton fiber. The results of tests on the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties are shown in Table 1.

[0028] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 lies in the specifications and twist of the functional polyester filaments used in the outer warp and weft. The functional polyester filament (Zhejiang Yongsheng High Fiber's "Yongbai Polyester") has a specification of 150 D, a filament count of 72 (F), and a twist of 1000 twists / meter. The total addition of titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch remains at 16%. The specifications of the natural fiber blended multi-strand composite twisted yarn used in the inner warp and weft are the same as in Example 1. The warp density of the fabric body is 219 yarns / inch, the weft density is 126 yarns / inch, and the weight is 195 g / m.2 The fabric contains 68% functional polyester filament, 19% acetal cotton fiber, and 13% cotton fiber. The results of tests on the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties are shown in Table 1.

[0029] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that all yarns in the fabric, namely the outer warp, outer weft, inner warp, and inner weft, are twisted bicomponent composite functional polyester filaments (Zhejiang Yongsheng High Fiber "Yongbai Polyester") of the same specifications as in Example 1. The total addition of titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch is 16%, the specification is 100 D, the filament count (F) is 72, the twist is 1600 twists / meter, and the fabric composition is 100% polyester. The warp density of the fabric body is 245 yarns / inch, the weft density is 135 yarns / inch, and the weight is 200 g / m². 2 The test results for the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties are shown in Table 1.

[0030] Comparative Example 2: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in the natural fiber blended multi-strand composite twisted yarn used for the inner warp and weft, the Yassai cotton fiber is replaced with ordinary viscose fiber (without irregular cross-sectional structure). The blending ratio of viscose fiber to cotton fiber in the vortex spun blended yarn is 60:40, and the blending ratio of viscose fiber to cotton fiber in the compact spun blended yarn is 60:40. The yarn count and twist are the same as in Example 1, and the twist of the multi-strand composite twisted yarn is the same as in Example 1. The functional polyester filament accounts for 60% of the mass of the fabric, viscose fiber accounts for 24%, and cotton fiber accounts for 16%. The test results of the fabric's anti-seepage, anti-UV, breathability, and moisture-wicking and quick-drying functions are shown in Table 1.

[0031] Comparative Example 3: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the functional polyester filaments used in the outer warp and weft are replaced with ordinary polyester filaments of the same specification and twist (without special cross-sectional structure, and without the addition of titanium dioxide and ceramic polarizing masterbatch). The specifications of the natural fiber blended multi-strand composite twisted yarn used in the inner warp and weft are the same as in Example 1. The mass percentage of Assorted cotton fiber in the fabric is 24%, and the mass percentage of cotton fiber is 16%. The test results of the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking and quick-drying functions are shown in Table 1.

[0032] Comparative Example 4: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the natural fiber blended yarns used in the warp and weft are compact spun single yarns, rather than composite twisted structures. The yarn count is 50 S / 1, the blending ratio of cotton fiber and Assam cotton fiber is 40:60, and the twist is 1600 twists / meter. The functional polyester filament accounts for 60% of the fabric by weight, Assam cotton fiber accounts for 24% by weight, and cotton fiber accounts for 16% by weight. The test results of the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties are shown in Table 1.

[0033] Comparative Example 5: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the natural fiber blended yarn used in the warp and weft is a vortex-spun single yarn structure, rather than a composite twisted structure, with a yarn count of 50 S / 1, and a blending ratio of cotton fiber to Assyrian cotton fiber of 40:60. The fabric contains 60% functional polyester filament, 24% Assyrian cotton fiber, and 16% cotton fiber by mass. The test results for the fabric's anti-seepage, UV protection, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties are shown in Table 1.

[0034] The test methods used for each test item in Table 1 are as follows: Weight: GB / T 4669-2008; Anti-seepage performance: GB / T 42698-2023 Method B; UV resistance: GB / T 18830-2009; Air permeability: GB / T 5453-2025; Moisture-wicking and quick-drying - before washing: GB / T 21655.2-2019; Moisture-wicking and quick-drying - after washing (GB / T 8629-2017, 4N program, 5 washes, hang to dry): GB / T 21655.2-2019.

[0035] Table 1. Test results of fabric performance in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5

[0036] A comparison of the functional test data in Table 1 shows that: (1) Under the synergistic effect of Yassai cotton fiber and functional polyester filament, the fabrics of each embodiment achieved a see-through performance of level 3-4, a UV protection performance of UPF100+, and an air permeability of 270.4~278.3 mm / s. Compared with Comparative Example 2 (cotton and ordinary viscose fiber blend), the UV protection performance of the fabrics of each embodiment was significantly improved; compared with Comparative Example 1 (warp and weft fully functional polyester filament), the air permeability of the fabrics of each embodiment was more than 5 times that of Comparative Example 1, and the moisture absorption and quick-drying performance was also better than that of Comparative Example 1.

[0037] (2) Under the same blending ratio of cotton fiber and Yassai cotton fiber and similar yarn count, density and weight, the air permeability of Comparative Example 5 (vortex spun single yarn structure) was 283.9 mm / s, and its moisture absorption and quick-drying performance was basically the same as the fabrics of each embodiment, but its UPF value was low, only 39.3; Comparative Example 4 (compact spun single yarn structure) had a see-through performance of level 3-4 and a UPF value of 106.9, and good UV resistance, but its air permeability was 137.5 mm / s, which was lower than the fabrics of each embodiment, and its moisture absorption and quick-drying indicators such as soaking time, water absorption rate, maximum soaking radius and liquid water diffusion speed were also inferior to the fabrics of each embodiment.

[0038] (3) The air permeability of the fabrics in each embodiment (vortex spinning and compact spinning composite twisted structure) is 270.4~278.3 mm / s, which is close to the level of Comparative Example 5 (vortex spinning single yarn structure, 283.9 mm / s). At the same time, the anti-seepage performance reaches level 3-4, the UPF value reaches more than 100, and all the moisture absorption and quick-drying indicators are better than those of the comparative example fabrics.
