First 5 steps
moreNew materials are created in special laboratories where fabric technologists work. They develop different types of fibers, come up with technologies. Such companies, as a rule, cooperate with large clothing manufacturers, which are either customers of developments or are interested in buying and implementing ready-made technology. New materials have properties that make clothing more comfortable. Seamless clothing, thermal underwear are very popular. Designers around the world follow new technologies in the production of fabrics to be leaders in creating collections from modern materials. The mysterious names of new fabrics are increasingly appearing on clothing labels. We suggest you get acquainted with the most popular options.
Rayon
Rayon is a man-made fiber fabric, considered the most natural of the modern materials currently available, with a quality equal to that of silk and viscose. The thinnest threads from this fiber are often used in machine embroidery. Thanks to the even, smooth surface, the fabric is less soiled and does not cause washing problems. This material is durable, resilient and elastic, and also stretches well. Clothing made from Rayon retain and conduct heat well, which allows them to be used in both winter and summer collections.
Microfiber
Microfiber was invented in Japan in the 60s of the last century, but this fabric has gained the greatest popularity among designers only since 2000. Microfiber fiber consists of two layers: polyamide and polyester. Polyamide perfectly absorbs water, and polyester removes grease - it is this exceptional ability to absorb moisture that has become the main feature of microfiber. Today, seamless underwear and sportswear are produced from this material.
Polartec
Polartec is a new synthetic material that has become incredibly popular with clothing manufacturers. Now there are more than 100 varieties of this material. Polartec can be described as a polyester knit with a thick pile. In terms of its ability to retain heat, it is not inferior to wool, while it dries much faster, better protects against wind and is durable. The material itself has a very complex structure, imitating the fur of arctic animals. It is also worth noting that a special technology for creating pile was even developed for the production of Polartec.
