CiCLO yarn usage tips help sustainable fashion development
Feb 13, 2023
With the in-depth promotion of environmental protection concepts in the textile industry, CiCLO yarn has become the preferred material for many brands due to its biodegradable properties.This innovative yarn can decompose in the natural environment, reduce microplastic pollution, while maintaining similar performance to traditional polyester fibers. Mastering the correct usage skills can give full play to its advantages and promote the implementation of sustainable fashion.
1. Optimize the spinning process
The fiber structure of CiCLO yarn is slightly different from that of traditional polyester. It is recommended to adjust the temperature and humidity parameters appropriately during the spinning process. High temperature and high humidity environment may cause the micropores on the fiber surface to expand, affecting the subsequent dyeing effect. It is recommended to control the humidity of the spinning workshop at 50%-60% and the temperature at 22-25℃ to ensure fiber strength and uniformity.
2. Dyeing and finishing process adaptation
The yarn has a high adsorption efficiency for disperse dyes, but attention should be paid to the control of dyeing temperature. Experiments have shown that keeping warm at 120℃ for 30 minutes can achieve the best coloring effect, which shortens the process time by about 10% compared with conventional polyester. It is recommended to use a low-temperature pretreatment process to avoid the potential impact of high temperature on biodegradability.
3. Key points of weaving and finishing
In the weaving process, CiCLO yarn has excellent wear resistance, but static electricity still needs attention. It is recommended to install humidification equipment in the workshop to maintain relative humidity above 55%. In the finishing stage, avoid using silicone softeners, which may wrap the fiber surface and hinder its biodegradation process.
4. Design application suggestions
CiCLO yarn is particularly suitable for high-frequency use scenarios such as sportswear and outdoor products. Its strength retention rate can still reach 92% of the initial value after 50 washes. Designers can make full use of this feature to develop durable products. Be careful to avoid direct contact with PVC-containing auxiliary materials to prevent degradation performance.
As global environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, mastering the application technology of CiCLO yarn will become an important competitive advantage for textile companies. Through process optimization and product innovation, it can not only meet consumers' functional needs, but also implement sustainable development commitments.
