What are the main materials of ultra-fine fiber beach towels
General definition of ultrafine fiber: single fiber fineness<0.4D, the two most common combinations in the field of beach towels are polyester+nylon (polyester nylon split yarn), and a few pure polyester.
1. Polyester nylon composite ultrafine fiber (80% polyester+20% nylon, mainstream in the market)
More than 90% of ultra-fine fiber beach towel materials on the market
Ingredients: 80% Polyester (PET)+20% Polyamide (Nylon/Nylon PA6), Sea Island/Orange Petal Splitting Fiber
Advantages: Fast water absorption speed, far superior water absorption to cotton; Quick drying and less prone to odor growth; Lightweight, non shedding, and good color fastness; Wear resistant and stretch resistant; Can be used for sanding double-sided velvet texture; Suitable for printing and heat transfer printing logos.
Adaptation: Foreign trade beach towels, sports towels, swimming towels, vacation beach towels.
2. 100% Polyester Ultra fine Fiber
Features: Lower cost, sturdy; Slightly lower water absorption than polyester silk; Excellent quick drying performance; The feel is slippery and not prone to pilling.
Shortcoming: The skin friendly feeling is average, and thick double-sided velvet beach towels are rarely made. They are mostly used for thin plain weave beach shawls.
3. A small amount of blended improved version (niche)
Ultra fine fiber+cotton blend
Balancing the soft and skin friendly properties of cotton with the quick drying characteristics of ultra-fine fibers; Disadvantages: Decreased drying speed, heavy humidity, and limited use in beach scenes.
Ultra fine fiber+spandex
Adding a small amount of spandex to increase elasticity, it is commonly used for beach skirts and stretch beach scarves, and pure bath towels are rarely used.
4. Distinguish easily confused fabrics (not microfiber)
Pure cotton beach towel: ring spun cotton, combed cotton, absorbent but slow drying, thick and heavy; Not belonging to ultrafine fibers
Coral fleece/flannel: mostly coarse polyester, ≠ ultra-fine fiber
