The Factors That Determine the Quality of the Towel

The factors that determine the quality of the towel：

Cotton is the main raw material for towels. The towels produced by high-quality cotton varieties are soft and comfortable, have high color fastness and are not easy to fade. Besides, there are other influencing factors. , for you to enumerate several aspects:

1. Processing equipment:

The main processing equipment for towels is divided into three parts: weaving equipment, dyeing and finishing equipment, and sewing equipment.

The weaving equipment is a device for weaving the raw material of the towel, the yarn into a towel, including a towel loom and other auxiliary equipment, the most important of which is a towel loom. At present, there are mainly three types of towel looms in China. One is the most high-grade imported rapier looms equipped with imported computer jacquard machines. The machine runs stably and has high rotation speed. It can weave high-density products and can weave complex patterns and hair. The flatness of the circle and the fineness of the cloth surface are very good, and the towel produced by it is of good quality. The second is the domestic rapier looms. The running stability and rotation speed of the domestic rapier looms are weaker than that of the imported looms. The flatness and fine density of the woven products are not as good as imported machines. The third is the low-end old-fashioned domestic shuttle looms. This kind of machine has low efficiency, high noise and extremely unstable operation. The woven products are prone to various yarn skipping, sparse, broken, broken weft and other defects. The surface loops are highly uneven, the flatness is poor, and the appearance quality of the body is general.

Dyeing and finishing equipment is the equipment responsible for dyeing, washing, softening, drying and shaping the blanks made by the loom. The most important one is the dyeing equipment. At present, there are two kinds of dyeing equipments, one is high temperature and high pressure overflow. Dyeing machine (large cylinder), one is rope dyeing agent (small cylinder), the former has good dyeing effect, high dyeing rate and less pollution, but the machine price is high, so the cost is also high. The latter is suitable for small batch dyeing and dyeing. The effect is not as good as the former, but it is cheaper and is a device for small dyeing plants.

The sewing equipment is a device for sewing and processing the semi-finished towel after dyeing and drying into finished products. The sewing machine and the three-needle five-line stretch sewing machine are used more, depending on the type of machine, the speed of the machine, and the amount of thread used. The sewing machine is less expensive to use than a three-needle five-wire machine.

2. processing technology:

The carding process is divided into combed and carded yarns. The uniformity, fiber length and breaking strength of the combed yarn are better than carded yarn, but the processing loss is greater than that of carded yarn, so the price is higher than that of the carded yarn. Comb yarn.

3. Odor:

A good cotton towel feels fluffy, soft and not slippery. The grip is soft and elastic in the boxing, and the lint-free lint falls off without odor. If there is a candle smell or ammonia smell, it means that the softener is excessive; if it has a sour taste, the PH value may exceed the standard; if there is a pungent smell, it means that the formaldehyde-containing fixing agent is used, and free formaldehyde is precipitated.

4. water absorption:

The towel is placed flat, and the water is dripped onto the towel by hand. The water droplets are absorbed by the towel. It is not long: the water forms a water droplet, indicating rapid absorption and absorption, and good moisture absorption; otherwise, the towel is mixed with chemical fiber or softener or Not enough refining.

5. color fastness: first put about 80 °C hot water into the basin, and then put the towel up and down to wash. If the water in the basin is not discolored, it is good; if it is colored, it indicates that the printing and dyeing quality is poor, which may hinder human health.
