Various functional textiles such as moisture absorption and quick-drying, antibacterial and deodorizing, heat-sensitive black technology, and three-second heat are increasingly favored by people in contemporary life. Consumers' demand for textiles continues to increase, and functional textiles are becoming more and more popular. Many companies have also moved to the production and sales of functional textiles.

1. Classification of functional textiles

Functional textiles can be divided into comfortable type, protective type, easy maintenance type, health care type and selling point type according to the functional type.

1) Comfortable functional textiles refer to textiles that endow textiles with comfortable functional properties, such as moisture-permeable and breathable, moisture-absorbing and quick-drying, thermal resistance and moisture resistance, warmth retention, and cool feeling on contact, etc., which can make the human body feel comfortable and physiologically comfortable with textiles;

2) Protective functional textiles can provide corresponding protection to the human body, reduce or avoid damage, such as waterproof, oil-proof, anti-fouling, flame-retardant, anti-ultraviolet, anti-static, electromagnetic shielding and other functions;

3) Easy-maintenance functional textiles have the characteristics of non-ironing, anti-wrinkle, and easy decontamination, which can reduce the maintenance time and frequency of textiles, and are easier to maintain and clean;

4) Health-care functional textiles have the functions of far infrared, negative ions, antibacterial, anti-mold, anti-mite, anti-mosquito, etc., which can inhibit the reproduction of germs, molds and other microorganisms, repel or kill harmful insects, protect human health and prevent diseases;

5) Selling point functional textiles refer to textiles that provide special selling points, such as fragrance, collagen, hyaluronic acid, constant temperature and other functions, attracting attention with special selling points.

2. Functional textile effect test

water-proof test:

Tested with spray: Waterproof 0-5 Tested with Spray Rating Tester

Waterproof and moisture permeability test:

GB/T 4744-2013 "Testing and Evaluation of Waterproof Performance of Textiles - Hydrostatic Pressure Method"

Sample principle: One side of the sample bears the continuously rising water pressure until three water seepage points appear on the other side, and the third water seepage point appears a certain pressure value.

Tested with Hydrostatic Head Pressure Tester

Waterproof and moisture permeability test:

GB/T 4744-2013 "Testing and Evaluation of Waterproof Performance of Textiles - Hydrostatic Pressure Method"

Tested with Fabric Water-vapor Transmission Tester

Non-ironing performance test

GB/T 18863-2002 "Non-ironing Textiles"

During the service process, after domestic washing and drying, without ironing, it can still meet the performance of appearance flatness, seam appearance and dimensional stability required by daily life.

Tested with Automatic Wascator Shrinkage Tester, Rotary Tumble Dryer, Fabric Appearance Assessment System.
