Jul 07, 2022

Clothing filler is a material that is placed between the fabric and the lining to keep warm. According to the form of filling, it can be divided into two types: flocculation and material.


1. Flocculent: no fixed shape, loose filling material, lining must be added when ready-to-wear (some also need to be lined), and it must be machined or hand quilted. The main varieties are cotton, silk wool, camel hair and down, which are used for warmth and insulation.


2. Materials: It is made of synthetic fibers or other synthetic materials to make flat thermal insulation fillers. The varieties include polyvinyl chloride, polyester, acrylic fiber stereotyped cotton, hollow cotton and smooth plastic. Its advantages are uniform thickness, easy processing, crisp shape, mildew resistance and no moth-eaten, and easy to wash.


This article makes some brief introductions to the thermal flakes:


①Hot-melt flakes: It is a kind of flakes processed by hot-melt bonding process. It is not allowed to have holes, and the compressive elastic modulus must reach 85.0%.


②Spraying cotton flakes: It is made of polyester staple fiber as the main raw material, which is carded into a web, and sprayed with a liquid adhesive on the web and then heated.


③ Metal-coated composite flakes: fiber flakes and metal coatings are used as the main raw materials, which are processed by composite processing, commonly known as space cotton, aerospace cotton, metal cotton, etc.


④Wool-type composite thermal insulation material: It is a multi-layer composite structural material with fiber batt layer as the main body and full warmth as the main purpose.


⑤Far-infrared cotton composite flakes: This is a newly developed multi-functional high-tech product, which has antibacterial and deodorizing effects and certain health care functions.
