Double layer thickened woven fabrics are mainly obtained in four ways, as follows:
1>Composite and film. The principle is the same.
When a fabric is stacked with other fabrics or films, its natural thickness will increase accordingly, forming a double-layer structure. This processing technology is a kind of finishing process. This technology is not unfamiliar to companies that produce autumn and winter outerwear.
In the clothing manufacturing process, in order to improve the thermal performance, waterproof performance or hand feel of the product, companies often use a variety of fabrics for compounding. This kind of composite fabric can not only meet consumers’ needs for product performance, but also provide designers with more design inspiration and possibilities.
The production process of composite fabrics is relatively complex and requires precise control of various parameters, such as temperature, pressure, time, etc., to ensure the quality of the final product. In addition, the performance of composite fabrics will also be affected by various factors such as the selected raw materials, processing technology and post-processing.
In the production of autumn and winter coats, companies usually choose fabrics with good thermal insulation properties as the outer layer, such as down, wool, etc.; while the inner layer will choose fabrics with good breathability, moisture absorption and perspiration, such as cotton, modal, etc. By combining these two fabrics, the overall performance of the jacket can be effectively improved, making it both warm and comfortable.
2>Double layer organization.
It is a kind of organizational structure, not double-layer, but it has double-layer effect. Generally, it should be woven with double warp axes or multiple warp axes, with obvious superposition effect, so it has thickening function.
3>Increase density.
Even the double-layer structure may not be thickened, and the density must reach a certain degree. If the density is not high due to the limitation of weaving equipment, the effect of increasing the density can be achieved by elastic retraction, and the thickness will increase.
4>Use coarse yarn or silk.
Within the scope allowed by the process, the thicker the yarn, the easier it is to increase the weight and thickness. This is because thicker yarns have a larger diameter and higher fiber density, making the fabric tighter and thicker. By choosing thicker yarns, we can effectively increase the weight of the fabric, making it more durable and textured.
In order to achieve the effect of double layer thickening, we can use the double layer structure. Double layer construction is when two layers of fabric are stacked together to create a fabric with extra thickness. This structure can be achieved by weaving the two layers of fabric separately or by joining the two layers of fabric together through special weaving techniques. No matter which method is used, the double-layer structure inevitably increases the thickness of the fabric.
In addition to achieving the thickening effect through the double-layer structure, we can also obtain double-layer thickened woven fabrics through tissue transformation and adjustment of yarn count and density. Weave transformation refers to changing the structure of a fabric, such as using a different weave or changing the arrangement of warp and weft yarns. With these changes, we can change the look and feel of the fabric, thereby achieving a thickening effect. In addition, by adjusting the yarn count and density, we can change the number and arrangement of fibers in the fabric, thereby affecting the thickness and texture of the fabric.
To sum up, the above four points basically meet all the conditions for making double-layer thickened woven fabrics. By choosing the right yarn thickness, using a double-layer construction, making weave transformations, and adjusting yarn count and density, we can successfully create double-layer thickened woven fabrics with extra thickness and texture. Not only does this fabric provide greater durability and comfort, it also adds a unique style and quality to clothing and homewares.
However, it should be reminded that the development of double-layer thickened woven fabrics must pay attention to the wearing experience and applicable value, and the scientific design must combine the external beauty with the internal beauty.
