Applications of linen twill fabric and its uses

Linen fabric with its good health, super breathable, anti-corrosion and antibacterial, fresh and natural, bold and bold, soft tone, UV protection, and other excellent performance, is loved by consumers and is one of the most famous textile commodities in the international market.

Features of linen fabric 

Linen fabric is robust, soft and delicate, has a good color, and can be spun at a high count; the fabric is smooth and neat, suitable for the production of high-grade clothing, especially for summer clothes very cool.Flax immersion strength can increase by 25% in water, is not perishable, and has a waterproof effect; In addition, it has the unique advantages of friction resistance, high-temperature resistance, fast heat dissipation, low dust absorption rate, not easy to tear, not easy to rot, not easy to burn and so on.

Application of linen fabric

The Flax product series has diversified development.At present, linen products are not limited to flax yarn, cloth, and mat but into a diversified stage:Linen pillow mat, linen bed cover, linen curtain, linen tablecloth, linen cushion, car seat cushion, neck pillow, linen shirt, casual trousers, knitted T-shirt, knitted underwear, leisure scarf, health socks, health insole, casual linen shoes, murals, tapestries and so on have already entered the ordinary people's homes.Already on the market, demand exceeds supply.Linen fabrics are often divided into Muslin, canvas, and industrial materials.

Types of linen

Most of the linen is made of warp and weft with unique yarn.Grey cloth without any chemical processing, known as the original color cloth.After pickling, the processing is called pickling cloth; the bleaching process is called bleached cloth; according to the degree of bleaching, it is divided into half bleaching cloth and whole bleaching cloth; After dyeing, it is called dyed cloth or printed cloth.Or to color yarn weaving called yarn-dyed fabric, etc.Linen fabric is usually plain woven but has hidden stripes, checks, letters, and jacquard.

1.Linen muslin

Flax muslin generally refers to pure linen made of soft, unique flax yarn and its equivalent of ramie cotton interwoven, linen polyester blended cloth.The hemp yarn is usually wet-spun linen or combed short linen wet-spun yarn.Among them are wide varieties,which are divided according to their uses.One is used for clothing, and the other is used for decoration, bed cloth, and additional towels.

Characteristics of linen Muslin

Flax muslin surface has a unique luster, is not easy to absorb dust, easy to wash and hot, has good moisture absorption performance, and good breathable performance; used for underwear, it is relaxed and comfortable, and sweat absorption is not close; For the coat, it appears free and easy, bold, bold, rough.Flax yarn has high strength but a small fracture extension, so it is challenging to be too tight during manufacturing.It must be processed with alkali to shrink longitude and weft to increase its tightness.To improve the stability of its size and make up for the shortcomings of easy wrinkling, mercerization, and resin, liquid ammonia treatment or mixed with a small amount of polyester blended with it.

1.1 Applications in the Field of Clothing

Flax has the great function of hygroabsorbance, fast moisture dissipation, good thermal conductivity, and does not easy to produce static electricity; wear and health care are good; linen fabric is not only the preferred clothing material in summer but also suitable for making spring and autumn clothing; Flax fiber can be spun pure, but also suitable for blending with other natural fibers and chemical fibers.Due to the low tensile elastic modulus of flax fiber, if the spinning process is wet, the yarn has no hair and no itching feeling when worn closely.

1.2 Application in the decoration field

Cloth for decoration and bed

Household fabrics made of linen are not only easy to wash but also unique in style.Flax textiles can automatically adjust the humidity to give people a comfortable, natural, relaxed feeling, beneficial to people's physical and mental health, so the formation of decorative fabrics in foreign countries to flax as expensive non-transferable evaluation standards.Among the decorative fabrics, the advanced ones are the decorative fabrics for the process, generally woven by the finer ones in the unique semi-bleached yarn.There is also a particular interwoven veil, all plain textures.The texture of the general decorative cloth is lower than that of the technological decorative material, and the unique yarn is made with jacquard, wrinkle, and other fabric organization.

2. Linen canvas

Features of linen canvas

Flax fabric has high strength, negligible elongation, fast water absorption and drying rate, high tearing strength, slow burning speed, small conductivity, good light resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., so it is suitable for processing into various properties of industrial cloth.With linen processing into canvas faster than cotton canvas, chemical fiber canvas moisture absorption, rapid water expansion, and no water leakage, then quickly dissipate moisture and shrink to maintain good air permeability.

2.1 Types of linen canvas

Linen canvas is one of the traditional varieties of linen products.According to the requirements of the product, it can be woven with long and short hemp yarn or cotton yarn as a warp.There are many kinds of linen canvas, tent cloth, oilcloth, interlining (industrial interlining, clothing interlining), carpet cloth, packaging cloth, etc.

2.2 Cloth for towels

Bedsheet cloth, because of its smooth, sanitary, easy to wash, quick drying, and other characteristics, is the ideal supply for hotels, hospitals, and families.In addition to being used as bed sheets can also be used as pillowcases.Pure linen bleached sheet is particularly noble, generally using exceptional yarn woven; there are also cotton and linen interwoven products.Flax yarn absorbs moisture, dissipates heat quickly, and is not easy to drop fibers, so it is often used for cloth weaving in foreign countries.Dry and wet spinning yarns can be used for coarser bath towels, dry yarn-dyed yarns, jacquard weaving, or plain cloth printing are often used. Fine wet spun yarn, mainly plain bleached fabric, is commonly used for diet-related napkins.

3.Industrial linen textiles

Making full use of the properties of flax, flax can also be woven into some industrial textiles, which can belong to the linen-canvas category.This product is from the loom after the machine, with no complex finishing, only with rolling.

3.1Linen hose

Because flax breaking strength is considerable, the water absorption expansion coefficient is significant, blasting strength is high, seepage water is small after compression does not extend, flax hoses are woven on a special loom, and the fabric is cylindrical. Wet-spun yarn of long hemp and dry-spun wool of long hemp is used for warp and weft yarn, respectively, and cotton yarn is used for warp.

3.2 Linen for industrial use

Flax industrial fabric is commonly spun dry after boiling and weaving, plain weave, and double warp plain weave.To ensure uniform bonding, the surface of the yarn requires smooth, less hemp grain to prevent elongation and deformation in the process of use, often used within the range of strength needed, as far as possible to thin weft and warp density, and after finishing processing pull foot stretch foot.

3.3 Linen packing cloth

Dry spun linen of short or coarse flax, also woven into packing cloth.Because of its good air permeability, it is especially suitable for moldy food packaging; only jute is very short in countries with this kind of product.In addition, there are flax filter cloth and flax aircraft wing cloth, but they are rare.
