What is antimicrobial yarn

Antimicrobial yarn is a new generation of functional healthy and comfortable textile which combines antibacterial and hygroscopic and quick drying functions. It combines the hygroscopic property of cotton and the quick drying property of polyester to keep skin dry all the time and effectively remove harmful bacteria and sweat odor.

Antibacterial yarn is made of polyester, the secret source of its health and comfort lies in the special design of multi-grooved fiber and unique fabric design and production methods, it successfully introduces the principle of natural capillary into the development of textiles, can quickly absorb the sweat and moisture on the skin surface, transfer to the surface of the fabric and send out. High special-shaped fiber section and fluffy yarn structure greatly increase the air permeability, no longer sticky feeling, can keep the skin always dry state, to achieve rapid moisture absorption and sweat, improve comfort purpose.

At present, most antimicrobial textiles are made of post-finishing technology and modified fibers. Post-finishing technology has disadvantages such as poor antibacterial performance, water resistance and so on, and its application scope is limited. Among the modified fibers, the silver modified fibers are more and more widely used in antibacterial textiles, representing the silver ion modified fibers and nano silver modified fibers. Both of them have excellent antibacterial properties, such as washing resistance, long-term effect and quick effect. However, the use of nano-silver modified fiber is restricted by some public announcements because of the potential threat to consumers' health. Silver ion fibers are relatively safe. According to relevant research reports, the blending proportion of silver ion modified fiber is 2%, which can meet the AAA antibacterial requirements of FZ/T73023-2006 Anti bacterial Knitwear. However, when traditional bulk fiber is used for mixing, uneven mixing of small proportion of fiber components (blending proportion is less than 5%) is likely to occur, resulting in dyeing differences, which is not favorable for mass production.

Antibacterial and deodorant fabric has antibacterial and sterilization, mildewproof and deodorant, high strength moisture absorption, breathable sweat, skin-friendly skin care, anti-ultraviolet, anti-static, eliminate heavy metals, formaldehyde, aromatic ammonia, anti-static, anti-ultraviolet and other functions, forming a natural green multi-functional products.

Antimicrobial deodorant fabric has a strong rapid inhibition effect on the growth and reproduction of all kinds of bacteria and fungi that harm the human body, and the antibacterial rate is more than 99.9%. It is suitable for all kinds of textiles, which can give the fabric antibacterial deodorant and washable, resistant to washing for more than 30 times without discoloration. Used for all kinds of fabrics such as pure cotton, blended textile, chemical fiber, non-woven fabric, leather, etc.

After finishing, textile fabric has antibacterial function, mildew and deodorant function and other functions. It is currently the leading antibacterial, mildew and deodorant multifunctional finishing technology.
