Compared with traditional waterproof fabrics, what are the outstanding advantages of waterproof nylon Taslan in terms of lightness, breathability and wear resistance?
Lightweight: Breaking through traditional constraints and opening a new era of lightness
In order to achieve the ideal waterproof effect, traditional waterproof fabrics often use heavy PVC or PU coatings, or use multi-layer fabrics to stack and compound. Although this design effectively blocks rain penetration, the disadvantages it brings are also obvious - the weight of the fabric is greatly increased. After the clothing is made, the wearer can clearly feel the heavy burden of the clothing when he is active, especially when doing outdoor sports such as mountaineering and hiking. Not only does it restrict his movements, but it also accelerates physical energy consumption. In daily commuting scenes, heavy waterproof jackets also bring many inconveniences and reduce the comfort of wearing.
Our weaving factory in Huangmei County, Hubei Province, introduced the German Karl Mayer high-speed warp knitting machine, which is equipped with a precision electronic jacquard system that can accurately control the weaving process. When producing Waterproof Nylon Taslan Fabric, nylon 66 filaments are woven into a unique honeycomb structure. This honeycomb structure has a sophisticated mechanical design. Each hexagonal unit can evenly disperse external forces, greatly reducing the amount of yarn used while ensuring that the overall strength of the fabric is not reduced. With the air jet loom imported from Japan, the warp and weft yarns are interwoven in a scientific and reasonable way by precisely controlling the air pressure, speed and other parameters of the loom, making the fabric structure tighter and thinner.
Compared with traditional waterproof fabrics, the lightweight advantage of waterproof nylon taslon fabric is very significant. When it is made into an outdoor jacket, the wearer will not feel exhausted by the weight of the clothes when doing long hikes or high-intensity mountaineering like wearing traditional waterproof jackets. The movement is lighter and more flexible, and it is easier to cross various terrains and enjoy the fun of outdoor sports. For clothing brands, the use of waterproof nylon taslon fabric to produce clothing can effectively reduce logistics costs in the product transportation link due to the reduced weight of the fabric. Taking brands that mass-produce and sell outdoor clothing as an example, this means that a considerable amount of logistics costs can be saved every year, thereby improving the economic benefits of the enterprise. With an annual production capacity of nearly 60 million meters of high-end fabrics, Colorful Fish Textile has established partnerships with many internationally renowned outdoor brands, helping these brands create lightweight, comfortable and high-performance outdoor clothing products, which have won wide recognition and praise in the market.
Breathability: Breaking the contradiction between waterproof and breathable, enjoying a comfortable experience
The coating materials such as PVC and PU used in traditional waterproof fabrics, while giving the fabrics waterproof functions, also add a layer of "airtight" barrier to the fabrics, which seriously hinders the circulation of air and water vapor. When people wear clothes made of such fabrics for exercise, the sweat produced by the body cannot be discharged to the outside world in time, and can only accumulate inside the clothes, forming a hot and humid environment. Over time, it will not only make people feel extremely uncomfortable, but also easily breed bacteria, causing health problems such as skin itching and eczema. Even in daily wear scenarios, especially in hot weather or high humidity environments, people will feel stuffy due to poor breathability.
The waterproof nylon Taslon fabric cleverly solves the problem of being both waterproof and breathable through an innovative three-layer structure design. At the dyeing and finishing production base in Shengze, Jiangsu, Suzhou Colorful Fish Textile uses a German Monfushi setting machine to apply a nano-level waterproof coating on the surface of the fabric. The coating is treated with a special process to form countless tiny microporous structures. The size of these micropores is precisely controlled and is smaller than the diameter of a water droplet, so it can effectively block the intrusion of rainwater from the outside; at the same time, the micropores are larger than the diameter of water vapor molecules, so that the water vapor generated by the human body can be discharged smoothly. The middle layer of the fabric makes full use of the unique spiral molecular structure of nylon fibers to build a natural breathable channel, which is interconnected and provides a convenient path for the diffusion of water vapor. The bottom layer uses a single-sided sanding process to increase the roughness of the fabric surface and further improve the diffusion efficiency of water vapor.
Colorful Fish Textile has also invested a lot of research and development efforts and independently developed a two-way breathable technology. Special functional materials are added to the coating, which can automatically adjust the breathability of the fabric according to changes in environmental humidity. When the ambient humidity is high, the material will appropriately expand the micropores to accelerate the discharge of water vapor; when the ambient humidity is low, the micropores will be maintained to prevent external moisture from entering. After actual wearing experience, wearing a ski suit made of waterproof nylon Taslon fabric, even during high-intensity skiing, the body continues to sweat a lot, and can always stay dry and comfortable, without feeling stuffy and sticky. With this excellent breathability, the waterproof nylon Taslon fabric has successfully passed the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 ecological textile certification, which means that the fabric has reached international high standards in terms of ecological protection and safety.
Wear resistance: resist harsh environments, durable and excellent quality
Traditional waterproof fabrics have obvious deficiencies in wear resistance, which greatly limits their application scenarios and service life. Conventional polyester fiber fabrics are easily pilled and damaged due to friction during daily wear or scratches with rocks, branches and other objects during outdoor sports. After repeated bending, the PU coating will gradually crack and peel off. Once the coating is damaged, the waterproof performance of the fabric will be greatly reduced, resulting in the inability to continue to use the clothing normally. As a result, consumers need to frequently replace waterproof clothing, which not only increases consumption costs but also causes a waste of resources.
Waterproof nylon Taslon fabric has been comprehensively upgraded from raw material selection to production process, achieving a major breakthrough in wear resistance. Colorful Fish Textile uses high-quality nylon fiber as raw material. This fiber has a stable molecular structure and its strength is far greater than that of ordinary nylon fiber. In the weaving stage, the yarn is subjected to a special twisting process using the Murata twisting machine in Japan. By precisely controlling the strength and number of twisting, the cohesion between the fibers inside the yarn is enhanced, making the yarn more compact and tough, thereby improving the overall strength and wear resistance of the fabric. In the post-finishing stage, the self-developed nano-ceramic coating technology is used, and with the help of vacuum coating equipment, nano-scale ceramic particles are evenly attached to the surface of the fabric to form a hard and wear-resistant protective layer. This protective layer can not only effectively resist external friction and wear, but also has good flexibility and will not affect the comfort and breathability of the fabric.
After professional testing and a large number of actual use verifications, waterproof nylon Taslon fabric has shown excellent wear resistance in various complex environments. Take outdoor skiing as an example. In skiing venues with complex terrain and harsh environment such as the Alps, skiers will constantly rub against objects such as the snow surface and ski poles during the skiing process, and may also encounter obstacles such as branches. However, ski suits made of waterproof nylon Taslon fabric can still maintain good waterproof performance and appearance after high-intensity use for many ski seasons. There will be no obvious pilling or damage on the surface of the fabric, and the coating will not peel off. With a standardized production system certified by GRS, Colorful Fish Textile strictly controls product quality and provides a large number of high-quality wear-resistant and waterproof fabrics to official equipment suppliers of global ski events and many outdoor brands every year. Its product quality has been highly praised in the international market and has become a trusted partner of many brands, jointly promoting the outdoor clothing industry to develop in the direction of high quality and high performance.
