Metal fiber is a special fiber that is different from traditional textile raw materials (cotton, wool, silk, hemp and chemical fiber, etc.). The fiber diameter can reach 1~80µm, which is thinner than human hair. Metal fibers have good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, magnetic conductivity and high temperature resistance, and the manufacturing method is relatively simple. Metalized fabrics mixed with metal fibers in ordinary textile fibers not only have the wearability of ordinary fabrics, but also have protective properties such as antistatic and anti-electromagnetic radiation.
Application of metal fibers in textiles
Antistatic
Inject metal fibers into textiles. Due to the conductivity of metal fibers, the ability to dissipate static charges is strong, making it difficult to generate static electricity, and the static electricity generated is also relatively small. Easily dissipates to avoid accumulation of static electricity.
Antistatic clothing can be used in static work clothes and ultra-clean work clothes in professional workplaces, as well as regular uniforms and training uniforms for the military and armed police. General civilian textiles, such as knitted sweaters and cashmere sweaters, can also be added with organic conductive fibers to avoid electrostatic interference in work and life.
Radiation protection
Metal fiber radiation protection fabric utilizes the unique and stable electromagnetic shielding performance of metal fiber. There are four types of radiation protection fabrics currently on the market: metal fiber radiation protection fabrics, multi-element (nano) radiation protection fabrics, copper/nickel ion radiation protection fabrics and silver fiber radiation protection fabrics.
Metal fiber radiation-proof fabrics have higher radiation protection properties, and metal fiber radiation-proof fabrics are more beautiful, resistant to washing, easy to color, good in air permeability, stable in shielding performance, and easy to manufacture Due to its reasonable cost and other advantages, it is currently the most commonly used radiation-proof fabric.
Antibacterial
Metal fiber has good antibacterial properties, and its antibacterial effect is obvious and long-lasting. Because metal ions are extremely strong, metal fiber textile fabrics can release 5,000-8,000 negative ions per square centimeter. Tests by the medical community have proven that metal fiber products can inhibit and kill a variety of bacterial strains, and the antibacterial effect is satisfactory.
Characteristics and applications of metal wire fabrics
Metal wire fabrics refer to fabrics made by combining ordinary cotton, polyester or nylon fabrics with metal wires, among which cotton, polyester or The proportion of nylon fabric is more than 90%, and the proportion of metal wire is very small, but just this little metal wire makes the whole fabric different.
Metal wire is made by drawing metal using high-tech technology. The higher the technical level, the better the quality of the metal wire. The greater the proportion of metal wire, the greater the value of the metal wire fabric. high.
Characteristics of metal wire fabrics
The uniqueness of metal wire fabrics is that metal wires are added to ordinary fabrics, and it is precisely because of the After joining, the metal wire fabric has unique characteristics.
1. The fabric has a metallic luster, and as the light source changes, the metallic luster will also change, shining with metallic light, gorgeous and dazzling.
2. Fabric has the memory function of shape changes. The shape is easier to shape and looks more stylish when worn on the body. This feature is also caused by the bending variability of metal.
3. The fabric can protect against radiation and is very in line with modern people’s pursuit of health and environmental protection.
4. The fabric can eliminate static electricity and avoid embarrassing situations caused by ordinary fabrics due to static electricity.
5. The fabric has a reflective effect and looks extremely bright under the light. Coupled with the metallic light of the metal wire itself, it makes it even more radiant. </p
