With the increase of rainy weather, the air humidity has risen sharply, and many users have begun to worry: whether the elastic nonwoven fabric products (such as clothing linings, sports apparel, etc.) will be damaged by the humid environment? How can scientific storage maintain its elasticity and functionality? As a new material that is both environmentally friendly and practical, elastic non-woven fabrics are widely favored by virtue of their soft, breathable and high ductility advantages, but their maintenance methods are often ignored. Today, we will combine industry experience and professional advice for you to reveal the "anti-tide secret" of elastic non-woven fabric!
First, the impact of wet environment on elastic nonwoven fabric
The fiber structure of elastic nonwovens gives them good scalability, but long-term exposure to wet environments may lead to the following problems:
Weakened elasticity: moisture infiltration may lead to hygroscopic expansion of the fiber, affecting the stability of the molecular chain, thereby reducing the resilience.
Mildew risk: The humid environment is easy to breed mold, resulting in spots on the surface of the cloth, and even cause odor.
Fiber fatigue: If the weight is stacked or folded for a long time during storage, moisture will aggravate the compression and deformation of the fiber and shorten the service life.
Second, the scientific preservation guide of elastic non-woven fabrics
1. Clean and dry: moisture first step
Gentle cleaning: Use neutral detergent to wash by hand to avoid strong pulling of machine washing resulting in fiber breakage. After washing, the residual detergent should be thoroughly bleached to prevent corrosion of the fiber.
Dry to avoid the sun: After washing, lay flat in a cool and ventilated place to dry, avoid direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays will accelerate fiber aging.
2. Sealed moisture-proof: prevent moisture intrusion
Vacuum or sealed bag storage: Put the dried elastic non-woven products into a moisture-proof bag, and put food grade desiccant (such as silicone bag), which can effectively isolate moisture.
Add anti-mold tablets: Place anti-mold and anti-moth tablets in your closet or storage box to prevent mold growth.
3. Reasonable storage: protect the elastic structure
Flat to avoid pressure: avoid hanging or folding storage to prevent permanent deformation of fibers due to gravity or creases. It is recommended to lay it flat in the drying oven, and do not pile heavy objects above it.
Regular ventilation: Remove the fabric every 1-2 months and ventilate it in a dry environment for 30 minutes to help release internal moisture.
4. Use precautions
Avoid friction: wear to reduce contact with rough surfaces (such as sofas, desktops) to prevent pilling; If pompoms appear, use scissors to trim rather than tear.
Control wearing time: It is recommended to use it for no more than 5 consecutive days to give the fiber time to recover its elasticity.
Third, why choose high-quality elastic non-woven fabric?
Material advantage: polypropylene fiber, with natural water resistance and environmental protection can be degraded, not easy to mold in humid environment.
Process support: The hot melt technology makes the fiber layer tightly fit, taking into account the air permeability and moisture resistance.
Long-lasting durability: under proper maintenance, elastic non-woven products can be reused more than 10 times, and the moisture-proof effect can last for several years.
