Types of Synthetic Fibers

Polyester

Polyester is renowned for its strength and durability. It resists shrinking and stretching, dries quickly, and is wrinkle-resistant, making it a practical choice for a wide range of applications.

Nylon

Nylon stands out for its robustness and elasticity. It’s lightweight, resistant to abrasion, and maintains its shape well. This versatile fiber is commonly used in hosiery, swimwear, activewear, parachutes, ropes, and carpets, where durability and flexibility are essential.

Acrylic

Acrylic fibers are known for being soft, lightweight, and warm. They are resistant to moths and chemicals, making them a great choice for sweaters, blankets, outdoor furniture, and carpets. Acrylic mimics the feel of wool but is often more affordable and easier to care for.

Rayon (Viscose)

Rayon, or viscose, offers a soft, breathable, and absorbent texture with a luxurious, silk-like feel. It’s widely used in clothing, home textiles, medical supplies, and tire cords due to its comfort and versatility.

Spandex (Lycra)

Spandex, also known as Lycra, is celebrated for its exceptional elasticity. It is strong and durable, making it indispensable in sportswear, undergarments, swimsuits, and medical textiles where stretch and flexibility are paramount.

Polypropylene (Olefin)

Polypropylene, or olefin, is known for being lightweight, strong, and resistant to chemicals and moisture. It finds its applications in outdoor furniture, ropes, carpets, and geotextiles, where its resilience and water-resistant properties are highly valued.

Acetate

Acetate fibers are lustrous, smooth, and drape beautifully. They are often used in lining fabrics, evening wear, and home textiles due to their luxurious appearance and comfortable feel.

Innovations in Synthetic Fibers

To address environmental concerns, there are ongoing efforts to develop more sustainable synthetic fibers. Innovations include:

Recycled Polyester: Made from recycled plastic bottles and other materials.
Bio-based Synthetics: Produced from renewable biological resources, such as corn and sugarcane.
Advanced Recycling Techniques: Improving the recyclability of synthetic fibers to reduce waste.

What is woven non-woven and knitted fabric?

Woven Fabric

Woven fabrics are created by weaving yarns. They are often woven together on a loom that holds yarns in place as the weaving process happens. Woven fabrics have a warp and a weft, which determine the direction of the weave.

Knit Fabric

Knitted fabric is a textile that results from knitting, the process of inter-looping of yarns or inter-meshing of loops. Its properties are distinct from woven fabric in that it is more flexible and can be more readily constructed into smaller pieces.

Non-Woven

Nonwoven fabric is a fabric-like material made from staple fibre (short) and long fibres (continuous long), bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the textile manufacturing industry.

Fashion Soul is capable of manufacturing fabrics in wider widths that are budget-friendly.

We have a weight range from 6 oz to 15 oz.

Fabric manufacturer Fishing and Treatment

We employ a wide range of finishing and treatment processes to attain different fabric finishes. Some examples include

Mending and Burling

Prior to finishing operations, textiles are often rough around the edges, with loose threads and knots that must be removed and smoothed. Depending on the fabric, various mending, burling.

Washing and Drying

Once smoothed and repaired, textiles are washed in a variety of chemicals. Bleaching, as the name implies, uses chlorine bleach and other chemicals to whiten and brighten.

Stabilizing

After washing, textiles must be stabilized to ensure consistency and structural integrity. Calendering—one of the most common stabilizing processes used for fabrics—entails the use of heated pressurized rollers to condense the fibers within the fabric.

Coating and Glazing

Textiles can be treated with a variety of coatings and glazes, including waxes, oils, and plastics or starch, glue, and shellac, respectively. These compounds further enhance the appearance of the fabric (such as by adding glossiness).

Fabric Manufacturer Technical Textile Finishing and Considerations

Technical textiles are designed and manufactured for specific non-decorative purposes. During the finishing and treatment stages for any technical textile, it is important to keep the intended function in mind to ensure the finished fabric performs as expected.

Anti-static: prevents the buildup of static charge

minimizes damage from chemical compounds

withstands exposure to UV radiation without damage or degradation

Antimicrobial

Antimicrobial fabric refers to any textile that protects against the growth of bacteria, mould, mildew, and other pathogenic microorganisms. This is achieved by treating textiles with an antimicrobial finish that inhibits the growth of hazardous microbes, creating an added layer of defence and prolonging the life of the fabric.

Fire Resistant Fabrics

Flame-resistant and fire-retardant fabrics are essential safety tools in a variety of industrial, commercial, and municipal applications. Technological improvements in these fabrics have facilitated the development flame barriers, coverings, numerous types of personal protective equipment, and more.

Most Frequent Asked Questions!

What are the 3 main types of fabric?

We can sort clothing fabrics into three broad classes. Of these, woven and knitted fabrics are the main contenders, made directly from yarns. However, occasionally, we see nonwoven fabrics. Nonwoven fabrics are made directly from fibres, often as new and sustainable alternatives made from recycled materials.

What about weave?

Woven uses ‘warp’ and ‘weft’ to describe the direction of yarns in a woven fabric, while knitted used ‘wales’ and ‘courses’.

There are three basic types of weave, from which all other weaves come from:

1. Plain weave

2. Twill weave

3. Satin weave

These all have varying degrees of yarn interlacement, which not only affects how a garment looks and feels but also how it behaves when worn and when washed

Twill weave!

Twill is easy to spot because of its diagonal ridges. It’s textured and durable, and it’s popular for trousers, such as jeans, chinos, cargo pants etc, and jackets.

Twill is associated with some repeating patterns, such as houndstooth and herringbone. These patterns might not guarantee a twill weave, though, as you’ll sometimes find houndstooth patterns printed on plain weave clothes. Check if the pattern is formed by the way the threads weave together.

satin weave!

If the weft emerges once every four or more warp threads, only to vanish again under the next warp, you’ve got a satin weave.

Satin is usually matte on one side and gleaming gorgeously on the other. It’s good for adding a touch of flair and luxury. Run your hand along the glossy side. Roll around in it when nobody’s looking.

Satin fabrics are most commonly made of polyester and silk. Silk is the only continuous filament, natural fibre, whereas charmeuse is a soft, smooth lightweight fabric woven with a satin weave.

What about plain weave?

Plain weave, as the name implies, is simple and straightforward. The warp and weft alternate: the weft will usually pass over each warp thread and under the next. It’s a sturdy, practical weave, and it results in fabric that has the same texture on both sides. It’s used for both formal and casual, everyday clothing.

They may have ‘plain’ in the name, but plain weave fabrics are anything but dull. The following varied and versatile fabrics are all plain-woven but can be made from a variety of different textile fibres and blends to create the finished garment. Have a look at these plain weave fabrics and the typical clothes they produce. You’ll find plain weaves aplenty in your wardrobe unless you have very particular tastes.
