1. What is shrinkage control?
Fabric shrinkage refers to the dimensional change of fabric due to water or heat during washing or cleaning. For some high-quality fabrics, shrinkage is usually an important factor of concern to customers, especially when they need to be washed after purchase. 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric uses advanced shrinkage control technology to keep the shrinkage rate of the fabric within 5% during the washing process.
2. The specific effect of 5% shrinkage control
For 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric, 5% shrinkage control means that the fabric will not shrink more than 5% under normal washing conditions. This shrinkage is completely acceptable for daily clothing, especially for the texture and wearing comfort of the fabric.
Reduce dimensional changes: Many natural fiber fabrics, such as cotton and wool, are prone to significant shrinkage during washing. The shrinkage of 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric, which has been treated with shrinkage control, has been effectively limited. Even with frequent washing, the size of the fabric can remain relatively stable.
Maintaining the fit of clothing: For brand women's clothing, the fit of clothing is crucial. 5% shrinkage control can effectively avoid the ill-fitting of clothing due to shrinkage, which affects the wearing effect. Whether it is a skirt, shirt or pants, the fabric can still maintain close to its original size after washing, ensuring that consumers wear comfort and fit.
Improving the stability and predictability of fabrics: During the production process, the dimensional stability of fabrics is very important to brands. By controlling the shrinkage rate of 5%, brands can cut and design more accurately, ensuring the size consistency and quality stability of each garment in mass production.
3. How is shrinkage control technology achieved?
The shrinkage control technology of 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric is not a simple physical treatment, but a combination of a series of chemical and physical means to ensure that the fabric has been pre-shrunk and anti-shrinkage treatment during the production process. Common shrinkage control technologies include:
Heat setting treatment: During the textile production process, the fabric is shaped through a heat setting process. Through certain temperature and humidity control, the fiber is shaped to reduce the size changes caused by changes in the external environment.
Immersion and drying control: During the production and dyeing process of the fabric, a precise soaking and drying process is used to control the moisture absorption and evaporation rate of the fabric, thereby avoiding shrinkage of the fabric after washing.
Chemical finishing: Specific chemical treatment is performed on the fiber surface to make the fiber structure more stable, reduce the impact of moisture and heat on its morphology, and thus reduce the possibility of shrinkage.
Through these advanced technical treatments, 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric can effectively control the shrinkage rate under normal washing conditions without affecting the softness and comfort of the fabric.
IV. Impact on clothing design
For designers and manufacturers, fabric shrinkage control is not only part of quality assurance, but also directly affects the design and production process of clothing. Specifically:
Expected clothing size: Due to the 5% shrinkage control of the fabric, designers can more accurately predict the size changes of the finished garments, reduce the design deviation caused by fabric shrinkage, and thus improve production efficiency.
Improve consumer satisfaction: When purchasing clothing, consumers tend to prefer fabrics that are easy to care for and will not shrink excessively. The shrinkage control function of 40s 100% Rayon Woven Fabric allows consumers to purchase without worrying too much about the size changes after washing, and enhance their trust and loyalty to the brand.
Adapt to multiple washing methods: Although different consumers may choose different washing methods (such as hand washing or machine washing), the 5% shrinkage control ensures that even if different washing methods are used, the fabric can maintain its quality and size within the expected range, and will not easily shrink out of control.
