WHAT ARE THE SEVERAL TEXTURES OF HOTEL LINEN AND THEIR ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES!
COMMONN CONCEPTS:
1. YARM FINENESS
The representation of yarn fineness is generally divided into two categories: fixed length system and fixed weight system.
A. The fixed length system is expressed as the weight per unit length of the yarn at a fixed moisture return rate. In the fixed length system
there are two types: the Tex (metric) system and the Denier (imperial) system. Here, only the commonly used imperial system: Denier, which
is generally used to indicate the fineness of pure chemical fiber filament and natural filament. Denier is defined as the number of grams (g)
of weight of 9000 meters of silk at a common moisture regain rate (about 8.5%) is the denier of the silk, which is often represented by "D".
b. Fixed weight system is expressed as the length per unit weight of the yarn at a fixed moisture return rate, in fixed weight system. There
are two kinds of metric (metric) and imperial (imperial). Here only focuses on the commonly used imperial count, which is generally used to
indicate the fineness of pure cotton yarn and polyester cotton yarn. The imperial count is defined as: there are a number of 840 yards of
yarn per pound at the common moisture regain rate (about 9.89%), which is often represented by "S". If the pure cotton yarn weighs 1 pound
at the common moisture recovery rate (about 9.89%), its length is 40×840 yards, that is, 33600 yards, then the cotton yarn is 40 pieces, which
is often expressed as "40S". Generally speaking, the larger the number of yarn, the finer the yarn, the more difficult the spinning, the more
processes, the higher the equipment requirements, and the higher the quality requirements of cotton, (requiring the length of the cotton pile)
the greater the price per ton of yarn. (Martha Andy chose Xinjiang high-quality long staple cotton), it is not difficult to understand the difference
in the price of 40 fabrics and 60 fabrics.
2. DENSITY
Density - used to indicate the number of yarn roots per unit length of woven fabric, generally 1 inch or 10 centimeters of yarn roots, China's
national standard stipulates the use of 10 centimeters of yarn roots to represent the density, but textile enterprises are still used to use 1 inch
of yarn roots to represent the density. It is divided into warp density and weft density
1. Precision - fabric length direction; This yarn is called refined yarn; The number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is precise (warp density).
2. Weft density - fabric width direction; The directional yarn is called the weft yarn, and the number of yarns arranged within 1 inch is the weft
density (weft density);
As usually seen in the hotel linen, "40X40/110X90" means that the warp and weft are 40, and the warp and weft density is 110 and 90.
3, width - the effective width of the fabric, generally used to be expressed in inches or centimeters, common 36 inches, 44 inches, 56-60 inches,
etc., respectively called narrow, medium and wide, more than 60 inches of fabric for wide, generally called wide cloth, today's China's extra wide
fabric width can reach 360 centimeters. Width is generally marked after the density, such as: 3 mentioned in the fabric if added width is expressed
as: "40X40/110X90/72", that is, the width is 72 inches. (1 inch =2.54 cm).
4, gram weight - the gram weight of the fabric is generally the gram number of square meters of fabric weight. In the VISA tablecloth used in hotels,
the gram weight is an important technical index of the fabric.
5, yarn-dyed - Japan called "first dyed fabric", refers to the first yarn or filament dyed, and then the use of color yarn weaving process, this fabric is
called "yarn-dyed fabric", the production of yarn-dyed fabric factory is generally called dyeing and weaving factory. For example, VISA checkered
tablecloths used in hotels and some fabrics that make bed end towels are colored fabrics.
FABRIC CLASSIFICATION
1, according to different processing methods classified
(1) Woven fabric: fabric composed of yarns arranged vertically with each other, namely horizontal and longitudinal systems, interwoven on the
loom according to certain laws. (Quilt covers, sheets, tablecloths in the hotel linen are mostly woven fabrics). (2) Knitted fabric: fabric formed
by yarn knitting into a circle, divided into weft knitting and warp knitting. (For example, our most common undershirt is knitted fabric, which is
rarely used in hotel linen, and a few outer curtain fabrics are knitted). (3) Nonwovens: loose fibers are bonded or stitched together. At present,
two methods are mainly used: adhesion and puncture. (such as some laundry bags in the hotel linen, disposable slippers are nonwovens).
2, according to the fabric yarn raw materials classification
(1) Pure textile: the raw materials of the fabric are all made of the same fiber, including cotton fabric, wool fabric, silk fabric, polyester fabric,
etc. (Hotel linen quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases and so on are basically pure cotton fabric, also known as cotton fabric).
(2) Blended fabric: the raw materials of the fabric are made of two or more different kinds of fibers, which are blended into yarns, including
polyester viscose, polyester nitrile, polyester cotton and other blended fabrics. (Hotel linen in some quilt covers, sheets, pillowcases is polyester
cotton and other blended fabrics).
(3) Mixed fabric: the raw material of the fabric is made of single yarn of two kinds of fibers, which is made by merging into strands, such as
low-elastic polyester filament and medium-length polyester filament, and polyester staple fiber and low-elastic polyester filament.
(A small number of curtains and decorative fabrics in the hotel are such fabrics).
(4) Interwoven fabric: the raw materials of the two directions of the fabric system are respectively made of different fiber yarns.
(For example, most bed skirt fabrics and bed end towel fabrics in hotel linen are interwoven fabrics).
3, according to the composition of fabric raw materials dyeing classification
(1) White fabric: unbleached raw materials are processed into fabric, silk weaving is also known as raw goods fabric.
(2) Color fabric: the raw materials or fancy thread after bleaching and dyeing are processed into fabric, silk weaving is also known as cooked fabric.
4, according to the structure of the fabric is divided into plain, twill, satin and jacquard organization.
Also known as plain, twill, satin and jacquard fabric (fabric), the hotel quilt cover, pillowcase, bed sheet these three fabrics are very
common, the most used. (Satin strip fabric, back grid fabric, large jacquard fabric is a combination of one or more tissues, the specific
explanation must be combined with the specific fabric). China hotel linen net www.ntfqw.com
5. Classification of novel fabrics
(1) Adhesive cloth: made of two pieces of fabric that are back-to-back to each other. (Hotel linen is usually not used).
(2) flocking processing cloth: The cloth is covered with short and dense fiber fluff, with velvet style, which can be used as clothing and decorative
materials. (Some hotel curtains are such fabrics).
(3) Foam laminated fabric: foam is adhered to the woven fabric or knitted fabric as the base cloth, mostly used as cold clothing material.
(Usually not used in hotels).
(4) Coated fabric: the woven fabric or knitted fabric is coated with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), neoprene rubber, etc., which has superior
waterproof function. (such as shower curtains in hotels).
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO DISTINGUISH A FEW EASILY CONFUSED CONCEPTS:
1, yarn-dyed and printing dyeing:
a. yarn-weaving - dyeing the yarn, and then using colored yarn to weave cloth, such as many hotel plaid tablecloth, the corresponding factory called
XXX dyeing and weaving factory, yarn-weaving factory, etc.; b. printing and dyeing - the fabric after weaving is printed and dyed, such as many and
many printed fabrics with colorful patterns. The corresponding factory is called XXX printing and dyeing factory, dyeing and finishing factory, etc.
2. Blending and interweaving
a. Blending - the blending of two or more different fibers in the spinning process, and then weaving cloth with the blended yarn; b. Interlace - fabric
made of different kinds of yarn or fiber filaments (bundles) when weaving.
