Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the textile field, specifically to a moisture-wicking, quick-drying, washable fabric. Background Technology

[0002] Pique fabric has always been a popular and evergreen polo shirt material in summer. This type of fabric is generally made of synthetic fibers, cotton, etc., and some also have certain functional properties. However, pique fabrics with a high cotton content require frequent washing in summer, and are prone to fading after multiple washes, making them extremely unwearable. The fading problem of cotton fabrics has always been a major pain point in the textile industry. The main root causes lie in the characteristics of the fiber itself, the nature of the dyes, and the principle of their bonding. Cotton fibers have a porous structure and are highly hydrophilic, facilitating the entry of both dye molecules and water molecules and detergents. During washing, the fibers are stretched, causing some dye molecules to dissolve in the water, resulting in fading. The dyeing of cotton fibers mainly relies on the chemical reaction between the reactive groups of reactive dyes and the hydroxyl groups on the cotton fibers to form covalent bonds. However, some dye molecules also react with the OH- ions in water molecules to form hydrolyzed dyes. These hydrolyzed dyes physically adhere to or are embedded in the fibers, forming floating dye along with unreacted dyes. During subsequent washing, these hydrolyzed dyes are washed out, causing fading. In the hot and humid summer, cotton fabrics tend to stick to the skin when wet with sweat, causing discomfort. Wearing moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics can not only keep you dry and prevent discomfort, but also regulate body temperature and prevent overheating or hypothermia. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above background, this utility model provides a moisture-wicking, quick-drying, washable fabric. The solution is as follows: The fabric is woven in four directions. The first and second directions are all high-needle loops and all low-needle loops. The first direction uses cotton-polyester blended yarn and the second direction uses polyester. The third and fourth directions are all high-needle loops and all low-needle loops. The third direction uses cotton-polyester blended yarn and the fourth direction uses polyester. The polyester is irregularly shaped cross-section polyester.

[0004] Furthermore, the cotton-polyester ratio of the cotton-polyester blended yarn is 80:20.

[0005] Furthermore, the cotton-polyester blended yarn has a specification of 30S, and the polyester has a specification of 150D.

[0006] The fabric produced according to the above scheme has the following beneficial effects.

[0007] It uses a double pique fabric with alternating layers of yarn, and the long loop cotton-polyester yarn has more on the surface, giving it a good overall feel and stiffness.

[0008] The polyester with an irregular cross-section naturally forms continuous tiny gaps and grooves after being spun into yarn and woven into fabric. These grooves can generate stronger capillary pressure than the gaps between circular fibers, allowing for faster diffusion and moisture wicking. The irregular cross-section has a larger surface area, resulting in a larger contact area between moisture and air and a significantly improved evaporation rate, thus quickly keeping the skin-contacting surface dry and comfortable.

[0011] Example

[0012] Raw material selection: The yarn is made of 150D polyester and 30S polyester-cotton blended yarn.

[0013] The 150D polyester uses profiled polyester with 5mm spacing of light mesh DTY.

[0014] The spinning principle of 30S polyester-cotton blended yarn employs a similar embedded spinning method, where one polyester yarn and one cotton yarn are fed in together. During twisting, the filament is wrapped around the outer layer of the short fiber yarn, or intertwined with the short fiber yarn, "wrapping" and "binding" the loose short fibers, thus significantly reducing short fiber loss. This spinning method results in yarn with significantly increased strength, a smooth surface, and very little fuzz, combining the advantages of both filaments and short fibers. The fabric retains the comfort of natural fibers like cotton and wool while possessing the durability and wrinkle resistance of synthetic filaments. This yarn is also strong, difficult to break, lightweight, has low static electricity, and good stability.

[0015] Organizational structure: such as Figure 1 As shown, rows 1 and 2 are all high-needle loops, and all low-needle loops are tucked. Row 1 uses 30S cotton-polyester blended yarn, and row 2 uses 150D polyester. Rows 3 and 4 are all high-needle tucked and all low-needle loops. Row 3 uses 30S cotton-polyester blended yarn, and row 4 uses 150D polyester.

[0016] This double-pique fabric, woven with alternating layers of yarn, features a higher proportion of long loop cotton-polyester blended yarn on the surface, resulting in a good overall feel and stiffness.

[0017] Triangle diagrams Figure 2 As shown, the cotton-polyester blended yarns of the first and third lines have a length of 24.6cm / 100G, and the polyester yarns of the second and fourth lines have a length of 14cm / 100G.

[0018] Dyeing and finishing process: Setting (185℃, 30m / min) — Pretreatment (degreasing, removing impurities, 98℃ oxygen bleaching, 50-60℃, 20-30min) — Washing — Drying — Mercerizing (light mercerizing) — Washing — Drying — Dyeing (T-T dyeing-T-T dyeing-cotton dyeing) — Setting (130℃, 24m / min) — Pre-shrinking. The principle of mercerizing is that the hydrogen bonds between the molecular chains of cotton fibers are broken under the action of caustic soda solution. Caustic soda inserts into the molecular chains in the form of hydrated ions, causing the cotton fibers to absorb water and swell dramatically from the inside out. The fibers change from their original irregular oval shape to a full round shape, making their surface smooth and full. The increased proportion of amorphous areas makes the dye adsorption capacity stronger, the color fastness better, the fabric's luster softer, the hand feel more delicate, the dimensional stability better, and it less prone to deformation, resulting in more durable and washable garments. The dyeing process employs a two-bath method, dyeing polyester first and then cotton. For polyester, a high-fastness disperse dye is used, and the dyeing process begins at 60℃. Acetic acid is quickly added to adjust the pH to 4.5-5.5, followed by leveling agent and dye. The temperature is then slowly increased to 130℃ at a rate of 1℃ / min and maintained at this temperature for 45 minutes. Afterward, the temperature is lowered to below 80℃ at a rate of 0.8℃ / min, and finally, a reduction wash is performed (85℃*30min). For cotton, reactive dyes are used. The reactive dye is added at approximately 50℃, and after 10 minutes, sodium sulfate is added in two batches. Once the dye is fully adsorbed onto the cotton fibers, soda ash is added in batches. The temperature is then increased to 60℃ at a rate of 1℃ / min and run for 75 minutes, followed by thorough washing with water and soap (using soaping agent, 85℃*60min). During finishing and pre-shrinking, the fabric shrinkage rate, width, and weight are carefully controlled.
