What are the common types of functional fabrics?

Functional fabric refers to a type of fabric that has specific functions after special treatment or the addition of functional additives. These functions include waterproof, fireproof, anti-static, radiation proof, antibacterial, breathable, and warm, etc., which can meet the special needs of different scenarios and people

Waterproofs

Implemented through coatings (such as PVC) or nanotechnology for outdoor clothing

Moisture absorbing and quick drying fabric

Mostly blended with synthetic fibers, sweat is evaporated through a special structure, suitable for sportswear

Antibacterial fabric

Add antibacterial agents (such as silver ions) for underwear, medical textiles

UV protection fabric

Through fiber modification or post-treatment, UV rays are blocked, and the higher the UPF value, the stronger the protection

Thermal fabric

By using heating insulation fibers and irregular fibers to increase the porous design and multi-layer fabric structure of the fabric, air flow is reduced and heat conduction is lowered to provide insulation

Cool fabric

Has good thermal conductivity and can reduce the surface temperature of the human body. It is usually achieved by using cooling fibers or adding heat absorbing and moisture absorbing additives such as xylitol and peppermint oil in the post-processing process
