Synthetic Pu Leather Fabric Coated Microfiber Fabric Waterproof For Upholstery Fabric

• Microfibre materials such as PrimaLoft are used for thermal insulation as a replacement for down feather insulation in sleeping bags and outdoor equipment, due to their better retention of heat when damp or wet. A lot of fibre and fabric structures or finishing parameters influence the functional properties of fabrics. In order to assess the thermal properties of conventional polyester and microfibre types of fabrics, the plate/fabric/plate method for conductivity or cool/warm feeling has been used. Fabrics made of microfibres show lower heat conductance and therefore higher thermal insulation properties. Microfibre fabrics exhibit a warmer feeling than conventional polyester fabrics depending on pressure, which may be due to the difference in the fibre and fabric surface in contact with the human skin.

• The use of microfibres gives much higher volume for the same weight which explains their particular advantages. Textiles made from them have very high thread density. This means they have a much higher number of air chambers and tiny pores, allowing the skin to breathe and the body to regulate temperature more easily. Sportswear from microfibres functions particularly well. It is breathable and at the same time provides reliable protection against wind and rain. Fashionable apparel in microfibres has a graceful flow and a silk-like feel and is extremely comfortable. Microfibre clothing is not wash sensitive, retaining its positive qualities after washing or cleaning.

• A new series of synthetic fine fibres has been developed that do not have the various deficiencies of melt-blown and micro-glass materials in filtration. They are spun at standard deniers and can be easily processed and split into micro-denier fibres on textile-based and wet-laid non-wovens processes. The fibres can be blended and processed with other fibres for product designs that meet customer needs. These fibres are based on spinning fibres of at least two dissimilar polymers and can be spun into either segment-splittable or dissolvable ‘islands-in-the-sea’ formats. The fibre diameters currently available are between 2 and 3 microns, with below 1 micron being targeted. The fibre segments can be electrostatically charged. These fibres bring value to applications where properties such as sound and temperature insulation, fluidholding capacity, softness, strength and durability, lustre, high surface area, barrier property enhancement and filtration performance are needed.
