Cashmere, also known as "soft gold", is a thin layer of fine fleece covering the roots of the coarse hair of the goat, cold in the winter when it grows to protect against the wind and cold, and so on the coming year when combing wool is combed down, made of a piece of cashmere fabrics. Because of its comfortable to wear, show the luxury and high-grade temperament widely loved by the public.
However, due to the scarcity of cashmere production, the price is expensive, many businesses will choose to use "artificial velvet" acrylic instead, so that the cost will be greatly reduced. Now with the continuous research and development of textile materials, there is a more suitable and cashmere blending of excellent materials - seaweed fiber, this material and cashmere blending not only retains the comfort of cashmere, but also increase the functionality of the fabric.
Seaweed fiber is a bio-based fiber from the ocean, with a moisture return rate of >16%, comparable to cashmere, good moisture absorption and comfortable to wear. Seaweed fiber also has many natural functions, and cashmere blended fabric will increase the following functions:
1. Anti-bacteria, anti-mite
Air mixed with a variety of dust mites, bacteria, etc., and cashmere fabrics inevitably have to contact with the air. In addition, cashmere fabrics placed for a long time will lead to dust mites, bacteria breeding, seemingly clean clothing is actually likely to be a microbial "gathering place". Seaweed fiber natural antibacterial, antibacterial rate of up to 99%. After testing, add 10% seaweed fiber, fabric antibacterial rate can still reach more than 93%. Washed 50 times, antibacterial effect remains. Add 10% of seaweed fiber, mite avoidance rate of up to 62.12%. Therefore and seaweed fiber blending can reduce the number of cashmere textile cleaning, cashmere textiles play a better role in protecting.
2. Anti-mold
Seaweed fiber mildew grade for the highest level 0, at 28 ℃, humidity greater than 90% of the environment can be 28 consecutive days without growing mold. This can be avoided to avoid cashmere fabrics due to improper preservation of mold problems, extend the life of cashmere fabrics.
3. Anti-moth-eaten
As the cashmere fabric raw material is wool, which contains rich protein, do not pay attention to save the clothes will become the bugs of the "nutritional base", the noble luxury of cashmere textiles will become tattered. And seaweed fiber has anti-moth function, and seaweed fiber blending, can increase the fabric anti-moth function, so that cashmere textile can be preserved longer.
The seaweed fiber and cashmere in accordance with a certain reasonable proportion of blending, so that fully complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, compared with ordinary wool sweater has a bacteriostatic, anti-mite, mildew and insect moth-proof functionality, but also retains a very good comfort and softness.
