Polyester-viscose (PV) blended fabrics are widely used in apparel, uniforms and home textiles due to their balanced qualities: the toughness and wrinkle resistance of polyester, and the softness and breathability of viscose. However, despite these advantages, PV fabrics still encounter some common problems and challenges.
BLUELAKECHEM, a professional textile auxiliaries manufacturer, will discuss with you how specific المواد الكيميائية المساعدة للنسيج can solve common problems in polyester-viscose blended fabrics and help manufacturers explore new application areas.
Advantages and Processing Challenges of Polyester-Viscose Fabrics
Polyester-viscose (PV) blends combine the strength, wrinkle resistance and quick drying properties of polyester with the softness, breathability and moisture absorption of viscose. This balance of properties makes them a popular choice for uniforms, business wear, casual fashion and home textiles.
Although economical and widely used, polyester-viscose fabrics still have many challenges in technical processing:
- Prone to pilling after repeated washing and rubbing
- Dyeing problems, including uneven color or low color fastness, due to different dye affinity
- Insufficient functionality, such as antistatic, antibacterial,l or moisture-wicking
- Prone to wrinkling and poor dimensional stability in certain finishing processes
Solving these problems requires a sound textile chemical system in the pretreatment, dyeing, and finishing processes.
How textile auxiliaries improve PV fabric performance
مساعدات المعالجة المسبقة: Before dyeing or finishing, proper pretreatment is essential to remove impurities and improve fabric water absorption.
- Wetting agents and penetrants enhance the penetration of water and chemicals into the interfiber gaps.
- Scouring agents remove oil, wax and spinning lubricants.
- Degreasing agents prevent interference from metal ions during dyeing.
Effect: Improve dyeing uniformity and make the fabric surface cleaner.
المواد المساعدة للصباغة: Polyester and viscose fibers require different types of dyes (disperse dyes, reactive dyes/direct dyes), which can lead to color mismatch and uneven dyeing. Dyeing auxiliaries help overcome this challenge.
- Dispersants prevent dispersed dyes from agglomerating on polyester.
- Leveling agents ensure uniform and smooth dyeing on both fibers.
- عوامل التثبيت improve color fastness, especially wash and rubbing fastness.
- pH controllers and carriers optimize the dyeing environment for dual fiber blends.
Effect: Bright and uniform color with high color fastness, suitable for fashion and industrial use.
Finishing auxiliaries: After dyeing, chemical finishing can give fabrics properties and significantly enhance their value.
- العوامل المضادة للحشو, which prevent fiber fuzzing and pilling, are suitable for uniforms, suits and interior decoration fabrics.
- المُنعمات, which improve the feel and drape. Options include cationic, nonionic and silicone softeners.
- Antistatic agents, which neutralize static electricity accumulation, especially in dry or synthetic fiber-rich environments.
- عوامل التشطيب الوظيفي, antibacterial finishing agents for medical and sportswear, moisture-wicking and breathable finishing agents for sportswear, flame-retardant finishing agents for home textiles and industrial protective clothing
Results: Added value for demanding applications and high-end markets.
