1.1 What is functional lining fabric?
Functional lining fabrics are specialized fabrics used on the inside of garments that are designed to provide additional protection, comfort and performance properties. Compared with traditional linings, functional lining fabrics usually use advanced materials and technologies to meet the needs of different environments and activities. These fabrics can include various fiber materials, such as polyester, nylon, spandex, and additives with special functions, such as waterproof, breathable, antibacterial, etc.
1.2 What are the main characteristics of functional lining fabrics?
Functional lining fabrics have several key properties, including but not limited to:
Breathability: Allows air to penetrate the fabric, keeping the wearer comfortable and preventing excessive sweating and dampness.
Antibacterial: It can inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms and keep clothes clean and hygienic.
Waterproof: It can prevent moisture from penetrating into the lining fabric, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Elasticity: It has certain stretchability, making the lining fabric fit more closely to the body and providing better freedom of movement.
Wear resistance: Resists friction and wear, extending the service life of clothing.
1.3 Why do functional lining fabrics attract so much attention in the apparel industry?
As people's demands for clothing comfort, functionality and durability continue to increase, functional lining fabrics have attracted much attention in the clothing industry. These fabrics can not only improve the performance and quality of clothing, but also meet consumers' needs for diversity and personalization. The continuous innovation and development of functional lining fabrics has also promoted the progress of the entire clothing industry, providing designers and manufacturers with more possibilities and choices.
