What fabric is better for workwear?
In this article, we will acquaint You with the kinds of fabrics for working clothes, their properties, advantages and disadvantages. For work clothes using fabrics both natural and synthetic fibers. It is impossible to assess which one is better as each has its own plus and minus, which are displayed in the following table.
Another kind of fabric is blended, which is obtained by mixing natural and synthetic fibers. Fleece from English. means "wool", "sheep", this name emphasized the main property of this material is to retain heat as well as natural material (wool). This synthetic fabric consists of polyester and other synthetic fibers. The properties of fleece:
• hygroscopicity;
• light weight;
• elasticity;
• breathability;
• good insulating properties;
• strength and durability;
• hypoallergenicity.
Oxford synthetic fabric that consists of polyester filaments or nylon. This type of fabric is very durable because the threads of the fabric woven matting form squares that are arranged in staggered order. The characteristics of the fabric include: water resistance, abrasion resistance, thermostability, high strength and high abrasion resistance. The fabric is affordable and easy to care for.
Gabardine is 100% polyester, density 160 g per sq. m. is Characterized by wear resistance, good performance. The fabric does not create the greenhouse effect, resistant to mechanical stress and does not require special care.
Tarpaulin – natural tinplate structure.Made from natural yarn composition: linen, cotton or jute fibers. To the properties of the tarpaulin are: high strength, wear resistance, fire resistance, hygroscopicity, water resistance. The fabric is perfectly resistant to extreme temperatures and adverse natural phenomena.
Splits can be called polufabrikaty genuine leather, which is produced during the separation of cattle hides Il other animals. Products with split leather is much cheaper products with genuine leather.
Diagonal fabric that is formed by twill weave of warp threads with a weft thread. The material is characterized by strength, no deformation, wear resistance, elasticity, environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic. This type of fabric has several advantages:
• air permeability (the fabric "breathes")
• made from natural fibres
• good thermoregulation
• no shrinkage when washed
• versatility.
Calico – cotton fabric. The threads of this fabric perepleteny crosswise. Advantages of fabric is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, abrasion resistance, good air permeability, hygroscopicity.In addition, this type of fabric is affordable. The advantages are very small, this can include the lack of shine of the fabric and the possibility of spools.
To improve quality, fabrics are treated with different types of impregnations, respectively, distinguish:
• MU (low shrink finish)
• MO (soft finish)
• GRU (dirt-removing)
• VO (water repellent)
• MBO (oil and water repellent)
• KO 50/80 (acid-protective)
• NMVO (oil and water repellent)
• antistatic finish
• fire protection + NMVO
• CH (wash noses) - well restores folds, is not crumpled after washing).
