Although it will shed some hair, it is soft and skin-friendly after washing.

03 polar fleece

Raw materials: 100% polyester fiber (long fiber, short fiber, microfiber); a certain proportion of spandex can be added (the quality is difficult to control, and the technology needs to be improved).

Polar fleece, also known as shearling, is a type of knitted fabric. It is a small ingot knitted fabric structure and is woven on a circular knitting machine. After being woven, the natural color cotton cloth is first colored, then brushed, carded, sheared, Processed by various complex processes such as shaken graining, the front side of the fabric is roughened, and the shaken graining is loose and dense but not easy to shed or pill, while the backside roughening is sparse and even, with less fluff, clear tissue texture, and excellent looseness and elasticity. Its ingredients are generally polyester and soft to the touch.

What is the material of Dralon fabric?

Dralon is a kind of chemical fiber fabric. The fabric composition is relatively complex, but it is generally based on polyacrylonitrile fiber, and will be blended with a certain proportion of spandex and polyester fiber. Of course, some Dralon fabrics will also be blended with chemical fiber fabrics. A certain proportion of viscose fiber gives the fabric a certain moisture permeability!

dralon fabric is a kind of fabric suitable for close-fitting wear. The advantages of dralon fabric are:

1. The textile technology of dralon fabric is very good, and the color of the fabric is delicate!

2. The thermal insulation performance of dralon fabric is very good, because there are very fine fluff on the surface of the fabric, forming an air barrier, making the fabric have very good thermal insulation performance!

3. dralon fabric has particularly good wear resistance.

4. The printing and dyeing is reactive printing and dyeing, and it will not fade after repeated washing.
