Main classification
Polar fleece: usually 100% polyester.
According to the specifications of polyester, it can be subdivided into: filament, staple fiber and micropolar wool.
Among them, ultra-fine quality is the best, the price is the highest! In addition, there are drop-needle Polar fleece (drop-needle polar fleece), which also accounts for a large proportion.
In the same place, there is polar fleece with spandex. As the quality is difficult to grasp, the technology needs to be further improved.
Polar fleece is cheapest in Zhejiang, but the quality is hard to say. The quality of Shanghai polar fleece is good, but the price is high. Suzhou's price and quality are in the middle of the two.
Polar fleece is divided into long fibers and short fibers:
The price of short fiber polar fleece is slightly higher than that of long fiber polar fleece.
Short fiber polar fleece is usually woven from 32s polyester yarn. In English (100% polyester spun polar fleece), hemp gray polar fleece is also a short fiber polar fleece.
Long fiber polar fleeces are usually woven from polyester filament and can be woven into all-polyester 150d96f, 150d48f, 150d144f, 150d288f, 75d72f, 75d144f, 100d144f, 100d288f, etc. In general, the higher the f value, the better the feel of the fabric, and the higher the price of polar fleece. For example, 100d144f, 150d144f and other polar fleeces are already ultrafine fleeces.
Long fiber polar fleece can be divided into low elastic polar fleece (dty) and bright fleece (fdy). Their English expression is (100% polyester micropolar wool). Usually, the long fiber of a blanket is polar fleece.
Polar fleece can be used as clothing, and the price ranges from 300 to 2,000 yuan. In addition, polar fleece can be used as bedding, carpets, coats, jackets, vests, trench coats, cheerleader logos, polar fleece gloves, scarves, hats, pillows, cushions, etc.
Now they are exported to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada and other countries.
Polar fleece is different from ordinary fabric
It is a small ingot braided structure that is woven on a large round machine. After weaving, the grey cloth is first dyed and then treated by various complex finishing processes such as raising, carding, cutting and polarizing. The front of the fabric is brushed so that the polarization is dense and fluffy. It is not easy to remove hair and pilling, the back is sparse and symmetrical, the fluff is short, the texture of the tissue is clear, and the fluffy elasticity is excellent.
The new polar fleece is still under development. Spandex (up to 5%) and t/r polyester can be added to the weaving process of spandex, but it has not been found that the technology has been mastered by multiple factories. Further improvement is needed.
Special treatment of the fabric, such as the addition of anti-static additives, anti-flame retardant additives, infrared additives, etc. For example, for some special polar fleece, anti-static fibers are added to the fabric during the weaving process. There are not many polar fleece of this fiber in the domestic market.
From the price of polar fleece, the width of polar fleece in China is generally about 150 cm, some even up to 230 cm, and the gram weight ranges from 180 to 450 grams. The price should take into account labor costs such as raw material costs, weaving, weaving losses, dyeing, dyeing losses and finishing. In terms of fabric prices, the cheapest is the Zhejiang market, but Jiangsu Changshu is also relatively cheap. The current polar fleece fabric is already a popular fabric with low price and high taste.
