Used materials in Hosiery Production
-
Bamboo
- Bamboo fiber is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber, which is produced from raw materials of bamboo pulp by our sole patented technology. Firstly, bamboo pulp is refined from bamboo through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi-phase bleaching. We then process Bamboo pulp into bamboo fiber
- it has a strong durability, stability and tenacity. And the thinness and whiteness degree of bamboo fiber is similar to classic viscose
-
Cotton
- breathability, ability to absorb moisture
- resistant to light, washable, impervious to
weather, tear-resistant and does not shrink
- as cotton comes from natural raw materials, it is
completely non-elastic
- Cupro-fibres
- cellulose fibre similar to viscose but a little
more supple to the touch
- used for ladies’ underwear and velvets
-
Dorlastane
- a type of Elastane (see Elastane)
-
Elastane
- elastic polyurethane which gives it the qualities
of a ‘rubber band’
- used in combination with another yarn e.g.
Polyamide. The yarn can be extended to between 3 and 7 times its
original length without breaking, and then returns to its
original length
- elastic and easy to keep clean, resistant to sea
water and light
- can be used for fine stockings, corsets and
bodices, swim wear, elastic sports wear and for collars, cuffs
and waistbands
- very elastic, fits better and lasts longer
- elastane 3D
- a elastane yarn twined with nylon is knitted in every
row. A completely smooth and even appearance of the stitches and
a better fit are possible as a result
- Microfibres
- synthetic fibres (nylon) with a thickness of less
than 1 dtex which can hardly be seen with the naked eye
- products made from micro-fibres can achieve a
level of breathability comparable with natural fibres
- super soft feel to the touch, an even-spun
appearance and ultra-light feeling to wear
- Nylon
- trade name for the product produced by Du Pont in
1938 – Polyamide
- synthetic fibre - hard but transparent
- basic raw material for many modern stocking wares,
for example, Satin Sheers and elastane 3D
- Polyacryl/Acryl
- synthetic fibre with a low density which can
easily be puffed out
- woolly texture, does not easily turn to felt, does
not shrink and is easy to wash
- sensitive to high temperatures but is as a rule
easy to iron
- Polyamide
- synthetic fibres with a high resistance to tear
and high abrasion resistance, good colour ductibility and very
easy workability
- very durable and easy to wash
- do not stand up well to high temperatures
- used in fine stockings, women’s
underwear, corsets and bodices, and swim wear
- Polyester
- synthetic fibres which can stand higher
temperatures such as Polyacryl/Acryl
- easy to keep clean
- stability of shape and high resistance to crease
and durability
- Polypropylene
- dyed Synthetic fibres which can stand higher
temperatures
without changing color.
- used in the fashion articles
- Satin Sheers
- a elastane thread spun alternately with a smooth
glossy nylon thread
- high gloss, luxurious material
- Silk
- glossy, light, very soft, almost non-creaseable,
cool in summer, warm in winter
- used mainly with cotton or wool
- Stretch
- special stocking yarn that curls less (texturing)
and is called crepe yarn
- products made from stretch yarn are less
cross-elastic but, as opposed to conventional crepe articles, a
clearer definition of the stitches is possible
- Tactel
- registered Trade Mark from Du Pont for a whole
range of different yarns for clothing based on polyamide
- gloss and the specially fine filaments
- easy to keep clean and has a high level of
breathability so that warmth and moisture regulation is
guaranteed
- Thanelast
- a type of Elastane (see Elastane)
- Viscose
- cellulose fibre
- good moisture absorption propertie
- skin-friendly and have the appearance of cotton or
wool, and a soft fee
