Before there were no chemical fiber products, they were all natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, wool and silk. After the emergence of chemical fiber, although they have their own advantages, such as strength, color fastness, washability and straightness of polyester, they also have some natural disadvantages. Therefore, chemical fiber surface materials should try every means to imitate some characteristics and advantages of natural fabrics, For example, the natural luster of silk fabric is very good, the handle is soft and unique, and there are some characteristics such as tinnitus. One kind of chemical fiber fabric imitates these characteristics. This kind of fabric is called imitative silk fabric. Polyester filament fabric is basically imitative silk. Of course, there are imitative wool fabric and imitative cotton fabric. These are a large class of fabrics. For a specific fabric, there must be specific specifications.
In essence, the so-called imitation silk is to modify polyester fiber by physical or chemical methods to make it similar to silk in appearance and wearing performance.
Polyester as the raw material of silk simulation products, whether the appearance, or feel, basically reached the level of false to true. Polyester imitation silk products have the advantages of both natural and synthetic fibers, with silk style, light and elegant, soft and smooth, soft luster, good drapability, comfortable wearing, strong strength, wear resistance, non ironing, wrinkle resistance, washing and wearing performance better than real silk fabrics.
In fact, silk like, silk like, untwisted and monofilament can be generalized.
