FSN 209 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Jinhae-Gu, Modacrylic, Alkene
Document Summary
Inexpensive: lightweight: low density, lightest weight fibre, strong, chemical and abrasion resistance, resiliency or wrinkle recovery, sunlight resistance, wicking properties, hydrophobic resistant to water born stains, aids in heat loss- ideal for sports ear. Innr lauer barrier fabric: non polar,m no static build up, heat set. Draebacks: oleiophilic, pilling, cant dry clean or put in drier, geat sensitive. Tyvek: spun fibre, feels like paper. Cant introduced new color after made: dyable polyprophe. Warm, light weight, resilient, easy to care. Moderate tenacity and abrasion resis, similar to wool. Not as durable as poluesyer nulon or ofefin. Moth proof: good wicking, resisrance ro weathering. Drawbacks: cannot be heat set, pills, =upoor dimerntional stability. Modacrylic: flme reistnce, doesnr drio, furlke fabrics , wigs. Storm technology: fisnish for cotton, makes it water repellent but breahavle. Reduces absorbancy of cotton and increased wicking. Environmental sins of cotton cultivations: complete with food for land use, rewuired sifnificant water, pests, deflolients.
