  Cationic fabrics are polyester fabrics. Cationic yarns are generally used in the warp direction, and ordinary polyester yarns are used in the weft direction. Sometimes polyester and cationic bicomponent fibers are blended to achieve a better linen-like effect. It is also used in the dyeing process. Use dyes, ordinary dyes for polyester yarns, and cationic dyes for cationic yarns, the fabric effect will appear two-color effect.

  working principle

  The material warp is polyester DTY100D+ cationic DTY100D, the weft is interwoven with polyester DTY100D, and the warp is divided into two groups (due to different raw material components and different dyeing depths during dyeing, it is easy to be straight after dyeing). The warp and weft are interwoven on a water-jet loom with a 1/1 strip structure. Gray fabric relaxation-refining-alkali reduction-dyeing (disperse dyes, cationic dyes)-softening and setting. The fabric has the characteristics of soft touch, not easy to fade, anti-wrinkle and wear-resistant.

  The characteristics of cationic fabric

  1. One of the characteristics of cationic fabrics is the two-color effect. With this feature, it can replace some yarn-dyed two-color fabrics, thereby reducing fabric costs. This is the characteristic of cationic fabric, but it also limits its characteristics. For multi-color yarn-dyed fabrics, cationic fabrics can only be used instead.

  2. Cationic fabrics are bright in color, very suitable for man-made fibers, but used for washing and light fastness of natural cellulose and protein fabrics.

  3. The wear resistance of the cationic fabric is also very good. After adding some artificial fibers such as polyester and spandex, the strength is higher, the elasticity is better, and the abrasion resistance is second only to nylon.

  4. Cationic fabrics have some chemical properties, such as corrosion resistance, dilute alkali resistance, bleaching resistance, oxidants, hydrocarbons, ketones, petroleum products, and inorganic acids, etc., as well as some physical properties, such as UV resistance.

  Uses of cationic fabrics

  1. Due to the very good water absorption of cationic fabrics, the dyeing tank difference is relatively small, especially suitable for sportswear. It is mainly made into sweatshirts, sports pants, yoga clothes, etc. If the cationic fabric is relatively thick, and it has a good brushing effect, it can be used as thermal clothing and thermal pants.

  2. Cationic polyester/spandex jersey is also very environmentally friendly and can be used as an environmentally friendly polyester/spandex fabric

  3. Because cationic fabrics are soft to the touch, comfortable to wear, and bright in color, they have similar effects to natural fabrics. It has good elasticity and hygienic properties. It can be used to make high-grade underwear, swimwear, and sportswear fabrics.
