How Do You Prevent Hotel Linen From Pilling?

In the actual production process, how to improve the anti-pilling performance of linen is also a systematic project. We should take comprehensive measures from the fiber, spinning, weaving, finishing, and other production processes to solve the problem.

 

• Fiber selection

1. Mainly, consider the short-lint content in the raw materials. Choose raw materials with long fiber length, moderate fineness, and low lint.

 

2. For products blended with chemical fibers. Choosing chemical fibers with a thicker diameter will have a better anti-balling effect than those with a thinner diameter. But the feeling is a bit hard, so you need to balance the relationship between feeling and pilling.

 

3. Use modified fibers: Make polyester or special-shaped cross-section fibers with lower strength. Change the appearance, morphological structure, and supramolecular structure of polyester and acrylic fibers to improve their anti-pilling properties.

 

 

• Using combed yarn

The fiber arrangement in the yarn is relatively straight. The short fiber content is less, the fibers used are generally longer, and the yarn's hairiness is less. Therefore, combed fabrics are generally not prone to pilling.

 

• Optimizing the spinning process

In the spinning process, it is necessary to control the amount of short fiber and reduce hairiness, scientifically and reasonably set the process parameters, reduce the short fiber content in each product, reduce the hairiness of the spun yarn, shorten the hairiness length, and improve the uniformity of the yarn dryness. Degree, reduce thick parts:

 

1. When spinning, choose a steel ring with high hardness and match it with a suitable traveler.

 

2. The yarn twist can be appropriately increased, such as by 8% to 15%. However, the feel becomes harder after the twist is increased.

 

3. An automatic winding machine can be used for winding. Its precision winding system can prevent yarn from rewinding and reduce hairiness caused by inappropriate friction during unwinding.

 

 

• Improved yarn structure

1. Cotton and regenerated cellulose fibers (viscose, modal, Tencel, bamboo fiber, etc.) can choose siro spinning, compact spinning, siro compact spinning, and other spinning methods. The yarn has less hairiness, tighter cohesion between fibers, and is durable. The abrasion and anti-pilling properties have significantly increased.

 

2. Pure wool or wool-blend yarn can be spun using Solospun, also known as cable spinning. Multiple weakly twisted slivers twist this kind of yarn, which has higher strength and better performance. Abrasion resistance and less hairiness.

 

• Fabric Design

In terms of fabric design, appropriate fabric organization, density, and other parameters must be selected based on the applicable objects of the final product, hotel positioning, and other requirements. Use a higher braid density coefficient within the appropriate range.
