Super Poly Fabric: Innovation and Application of High-Performance Fabrics

I. Basic Concepts and Definitions of Super Poly Fabric
1.1 Fiber Composition and Chemical Basis
Super Poly Fabric is essentially a high-performance fabric based on polyester fiber (Polyester). Polyester fiber is made of organic dibasic acid and diol through polycondensation reaction, and this chemical structure gives it many unique properties. In Super Poly Fabric, polyester fiber is further modified and optimized. By adding special additives, changing the polymerization process or performing physical treatment, its performance exceeds that of ordinary polyester fiber. For example, by controlling the length and structure of the molecular chain, the strength and modulus of the fiber can be improved; by introducing specific functional groups, the hygroscopicity and dyeability of the fiber can be improved.
1.2 Differences from traditional polyester fiber fabrics
Although traditional polyester fiber fabrics have the advantages of high strength, wrinkle resistance, wear resistance, easy washing and quick drying, they also have disadvantages such as poor hygroscopicity, poor breathability, and not soft enough feel. Super Poly Fabric is committed to overcoming these shortcomings. In terms of hygroscopicity, by special treatment of the fiber surface or the use of new hydrophilic modification technology, it can absorb and conduct more moisture, making the wearer feel more comfortable. In terms of hand feel, advanced finishing processes such as softener treatment and mechanical softening processing are used to make the fabric have a soft touch closer to natural fibers (such as cotton and silk). In terms of breathability, by optimizing the arrangement of fibers and developing a special fabric structure, the air circulation is enhanced, breaking the limitation of the stuffiness of traditional polyester fiber fabrics.

2. Characteristics and advantages of Super Poly Fabric
2.1 Strong mechanical properties
2.1.1 High strength and high modulus
Super Poly Fabric has excellent strength and modulus. Its high strength makes the fabric not easy to break when subjected to large external forces, and can adapt to various high-intensity usage scenarios. For example, in the field of industrial protection, protective clothing made of Super Poly Fabric can effectively resist puncture and friction from sharp objects, providing reliable protection for workers. High modulus ensures that the fabric is not easy to deform when subjected to force and has good dimensional stability. Taking automobile airbags as an example, Super Poly Fabric can withstand huge impact forces in an instant, quickly deploy and maintain its shape, providing safety protection for passengers. This high strength and high modulus characteristics are derived from its optimized fiber structure and tight molecular arrangement, which makes the bonding between fibers stronger and can resist external forces together.
2.1.2 Excellent wear resistance
Abrasion resistance is a major advantage of Super Poly Fabric. In daily use, fabrics often rub against various objects, and Super Poly Fabric can withstand long-term and high-intensity friction tests. In outdoor sportswear, when people are engaged in activities such as mountaineering and hiking, clothes frequently rub against rocks, branches, etc. Clothing made of Super Poly Fabric is not easy to wear, which greatly extends the service life of clothing. This is because the fiber surface has been specially treated to increase the hardness, and the friction between fibers is small, which reduces fiber damage and shedding caused by friction. At the same time, the special fiber structure enables the fabric to better disperse stress when it is rubbed, avoiding local excessive wear.
2.2 Excellent chemical stability
2.2.1 Chemical corrosion resistance
Super Poly Fabric has good tolerance to most chemicals. Whether it is common chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis, or some organic solvents, it is difficult to cause obvious corrosion and damage to it. In the chemical industry, workers wearing work clothes made of Super Poly Fabric can effectively protect against the erosion of various chemicals and ensure work safety. This is due to the chemical structure stability of polyester fiber itself, and the ester bonds in its molecular chain have a certain resistance to chemicals. At the same time, in the preparation process of Super Poly Fabric, some additives with chemical corrosion resistance may be added to further enhance its chemical corrosion resistance.
2.2.2 Anti-ultraviolet performance
Ultraviolet rays can cause damage to many fabrics, causing fading, aging and other problems. Super Poly Fabric has excellent anti-ultraviolet performance by adding special anti-ultraviolet agents or using fiber modification technology with anti-ultraviolet function. In outdoor products, such as parasols, outdoor furniture covers, etc., Super Poly Fabric can effectively block the penetration of ultraviolet rays, protect users from ultraviolet damage, and keep the color and performance of the fabric stable. Anti-ultraviolet agents can absorb or reflect ultraviolet rays, convert the energy of ultraviolet rays into other forms of energy and release them, thereby reducing damage to the fiber.

2.3 Excellent functionality
2.3.1 Moisture absorption and perspiration function
Super Poly Fabric's moisture absorption and perspiration function makes it popular in the field of sports and outdoor clothing. It can quickly absorb sweat from the human body surface and quickly conduct the sweat to the surface of the fabric, dissipate it through evaporation, and keep the skin dry. During strenuous exercise, the human body will sweat a lot. If the sweat cannot be discharged in time, it will make people feel stuffy and uncomfortable, and may even cause diseases such as colds. Sportswear made of Super Poly Fabric can solve this problem and keep athletes comfortable during exercise. This function is achieved on the one hand because the fiber is hydrophilic modified, the hydrophilic groups on the fiber surface are increased, and the fiber's ability to absorb moisture is improved; on the other hand, by designing a special fabric structure, a channel for rapid moisture conduction is formed, which accelerates the discharge of sweat.
2.3.2 Waterproof and breathable function
Some Super Poly Fabrics also have waterproof and breathable properties. In terms of waterproofing, by waterproofing the fiber surface or using special coating technology, the fabric can prevent water droplets from penetrating, keeping the inside dry even in rainy days or humid environments. At the same time, the fabric has good breathability, which can smoothly discharge the heat and moisture generated by the human body. In outdoor adventure activities, wearing Super Poly Fabric clothing with waterproof and breathable functions can not only resist the invasion of rain, but also not feel stuffy. The waterproof function mainly relies on the waterproof coating or the low surface energy treatment of the fiber surface, so that water droplets form water beads on the surface of the fabric and roll off. The breathable function controls the micropore size of the coating or uses a special fabric structure to allow gas molecules to pass freely while preventing the entry of liquid water.
3. Manufacturing process of Super Poly Fabric
3.1 Raw material selection and pretreatment
3.1.1 Selection of polyester chips
The manufacturing of Super Poly Fabric starts with the selection of polyester chips. High-quality polyester chips are the basis for ensuring the performance of fabrics. Manufacturers will strictly screen the purity, molecular weight distribution, end group content and other indicators of polyester chips. High-purity polyester chips have fewer impurities and can ensure the uniformity and stability of the fiber during the spinning process. Appropriate molecular weight distribution affects the strength, toughness and other properties of the fiber. By testing and analyzing the performance of polyester chips from different batches and different manufacturers, the most suitable raw materials for the production of Super Poly Fabric are selected. For example, for Super Poly Fabric that requires high strength performance, polyester chips with higher molecular weight and narrower molecular weight distribution will be selected to ensure that the fiber has higher strength and modulus.
3.1.2 Addition of additives and modifiers
In order to give Super Poly Fabric special properties, various additives and modifiers are added during the raw material pretreatment stage. For example, in order to improve the UV resistance of the fiber, ultraviolet absorbers are added; in order to improve the hygroscopicity of the fiber, hydrophilic agents are added; in order to enhance the flame retardant properties of the fiber, flame retardants are added. The amount of these additives and modifiers added needs to be precisely controlled, and too much or too little will affect the final performance of the fabric. The addition process is usually carried out in the melting stage of the polyester chips. Through high-speed stirring or special mixing equipment, the additives and modifiers are evenly dispersed in the polyester melt, ensuring that they can be evenly distributed inside the fiber during the subsequent spinning process and play their due role.
3.2 Spinning process
Melt spinning is one of the commonly used spinning methods in Super Poly Fabric production. The pretreated polyester chips are heated to a molten state, and the melt is extruded through the small holes on the spinneret by a screw extruder to form filaments. During the spinning process, parameters such as temperature, pressure, and spinning speed need to be precisely controlled. Too high a temperature will cause the polyester melt to degrade and affect the fiber properties; too low a temperature will make the melt fluidity worse and difficult to extrude smoothly. Stable pressure is crucial to ensure the uniformity of the fiber, and the spinning speed determines the thickness and production efficiency of the fiber. For example, when producing ultra-fine denier Super Poly Fabric fibers, higher spinning speeds and more precise temperature and pressure control are required to ensure that the fiber diameter is uniform and reaches the expected fineness.
3.3 Finishing Process
3.3.1 Softening Finishing
Softening finishing is an important part of the finishing process of Super Poly Fabric, which aims to improve the feel of the fabric and make it softer and more comfortable. Common softening finishing methods include chemical softener treatment and mechanical softening treatment. Chemical softeners reduce the friction between fibers by physical or chemical action on the fiber surface, making the fabric feel soft. Mechanical softening treatment achieves a softening effect by mechanical rubbing, beating, etc., which causes the fibers to deform and relax to a certain extent. In actual production, chemical softener treatment and mechanical softening treatment are usually combined. The fabric is first impregnated or coated with a chemical softener, and then processed with a mechanical softening device to obtain the best softening effect. Different types of Super Poly Fabric will choose different softeners and mechanical processing parameters according to their uses and fiber characteristics.
3.3.2 Functional finishing (waterproof, antibacterial, etc.)
In order to give Super Poly Fabric more functionality, corresponding functional finishing will be carried out. In terms of waterproof finishing, coating or impregnation is mainly used. The coating method is to apply a layer of waterproof coating agent on the surface of the fabric to form a continuous waterproof film to prevent water from penetrating. The impregnation method is to soak the fabric in a waterproofing agent solution, so that the waterproofing agent penetrates into the fiber and forms a waterproof protective film on the fiber surface. Antibacterial finishing usually uses antibacterial agents to treat the fabric. Antibacterial agents can inhibit or kill bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms on the surface of the fabric to prevent the fabric from producing odor and mildew. For some Super Poly Fabrics that require special functions, anti-fouling finishing, anti-static finishing, etc. may also be performed. The selection and implementation of these functional finishing processes need to be customized according to the final use of the fabric and customer needs to ensure that the fabric has the required functions and the performance is long-lasting and stable.
