Is Pilling Really A Quality Problem?

　　 There are many fabrics used for clothing in autumn and winter. In the process of wearing, there is often a problem, that is, pilling. Why is it pilling? The pilling is really quality Is it a problem?

The pilling of clothes is due to the breakage of fibers in tension, but not to fall off, but rather by curling and winding on one side and absorbing foreign particles on the side of an electrostatic way. Like snowballs, it gradually becomes a beautiful wool ball.

Reasons for Pilling: fabric and technology

Fiber properties have a great influence on fabric pilling, and fiber length, fineness, morphology and surface properties also have a great impact on fabric pilling.

Chemical fiber easy pilling, pilling degree nylon > acrylic > Polyester fiber 。 High strength and high bending resistance of the chemical fibers cause the fibers to fall off easily and become entangled on the surface of the textiles. Polyester cotton fabric is also easy to pilling. Polyester cotton, because of its strong strength and entanglement with cotton fiber hairiness, is difficult to fall off, which forms the pilling phenomenon we see.

In contrast, the fine fiber is easier to pilling than the coarse fiber, and the blended fiber is easier to pilling than other fibers. For example, like chemical fiber, wool and cotton blended fabric, it is easier to pilling than a pure wool garment.

Fabric dyeing process is also an important factor affecting the pilling of clothes. The fabric structure is also tight. The more smooth the surface is, the harder it is to get pilling. In brief, judging from the tightness and smoothness of the clothing, it is easy to judge whether the clothes are easy to pilling.

Resolvent:

When buying clothes, people should choose clothes that are not easy to pilling from fabric. Try to choose brand clothes with quality assurance, because the process will be more formal and more rigorous, which will meet the above requirements.

Two reasons for Pilling: wear and friction.

When wearing different objects (smooth and rough), they will also produce different degrees of pilling. The sleeves, bags and other parts are often rubbed and prone to pilling.

Some chemical fibers have poor hygroscopicity, which causes static electricity in the process of drying and continuous friction. Static electricity makes the short hairiness fabric surface hairiness upright, thus creating conditions for pilling and pilling. For example, the static electricity of polyester can easily attract foreign particles to produce pilling.

Different types of textiles are easy to pilling in the course of wearing or when they are mismatched. Even though the fabric and technology have tried to control the probability of pilling, after wearing it for a period of time, there is not a woolen ball clothes bought, and then the hair ball begins to appear everywhere.

　　 Resolvent:

Clothing with different fabrics can effectively avoid the occurrence of hair balls.

Denim fabric is pure cotton fabric, and pure cotton fabric is a fabric with better anti-static performance. Matching cowboy products can reduce static electricity and effectively avoid hair ball production. Tencel is regenerated cellulose fiber. Its moisture absorption is good and static electricity will soon pass away. So the choice of tin containing single product can also have a good anti-static effect. Flax has always been a nobleman in fabrics. It is not only light and comfortable, but also difficult to play static pilling. With flax products, it will reduce the effect of hair balls.

The friction and pilling of cuffs and necklines is more serious than that of other places. Therefore, when wearing a woolen cloth, the action is gentle. When the clothes are in contact with the object, the more force they exert, the greater the friction. It is difficult to miss the ball.

Three reasons for Pilling: cleaning and nursing

Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. Fiber static electricity will suck the dirt and oil around it and turn it into a dirty wool ball. Hand washing gently reduces friction.

Too long washing time is easy to cause fabric damage, fiber breakage and increase the possibility of pilling; washing temperature is too high (suitable temperature 20~45 degrees), detergent errors (using neutral detergent) may cause pilling.

For wool products, experts advise consumers:

Cause analysis of sweater pilling

The mechanism of pilling is: during the processing of woollen yarns and the wearing process of sweaters, they are subjected to various external forces such as friction, tension and so on. The wool fibers in woollen yarns are easily blocked out to form a ring or single head detached form. After repeated friction, the wool fibers are entangled together to form balls.

The washing method of sweaters is sometimes an important reason for pilling. The "machine washable" products should not be cleaned by "careful hand washing". They should not be washed in the washing machine for the sake of saving energy. Because of the strong action of the washing machine, the friction will become more serious, resulting in pilling. In general, the friction between the elbow and the two ribs is remarkable.

1, using fine wool wool (cashmere), mercerized wool and Tencel suet knitting should increase the braiding density and weaving pattern.

2. When wearing the sweater, the inside and outside garments should be smooth.

3, wash and wash regularly, usually 2-3 years to re knit, wash with neutral detergent or soap powder, water temperature below 50 degrees Celsius, do not twist, flat air dry.

4, there is a special anti pilling demand, it is recommended to buy pure wool and blended wool and long wool yarn.
