Invented in 1976 in Japan, it still has no competitor in terms of quality and price. Microfiber material is very popular among consumers of all latitudes, both cold and hot. You can explain this attitude by looking at the characteristics of this fiber in more detail.
Why is microfiber?
The material got its name because of the smallest thickness of its fibers - seven tenths of a den. There is also a second definition - "velsoft". The manufacture takes place from a polymer, which is brought into a state of molten mass, and then pulled into the finest threads. To understand how thin they can be, we give a simple example: in order to tie our land along the equator, you need only two grams of polymer mass
Microfiber Material Properties
A bedspread, bedclothes, clothes, bag, toy, cleaning agent, military ammunition - for the manufacture of anything from this list, and besides it, microfiber is used.
What are its main advantages?
Hygroscopicity. The interlacing of the fibers is such that the material is able to quickly absorb a large amount of liquid (four times its own weight) and dry as quickly, since moisture does not penetrate into the fiber itself, because it is not natural, and also very thin. Therefore, even in the hot season, microfiber (cover) will be appropriate and will not lead to overheating of the human body.
Color spectrum. If, for example, you want a microfiber blanket from a canvas, do not worry about not being able to find a suitable option for the color scheme of the room. The canvas is so easy to color that you can choose a variety of models - from plain to bright floral, ornamented. And most importantly, what is valuable microfiber - the cover does not fade. Mistresses will feel this plus.
From the microfiber product on your things there will be no trace of the type of those that remain from the wool. Small hairs that insidiously cling to the front-exit jacket or trousers. Velsoft saves all its fans from this scourge.
The material does not crease. And everything, just - does not wrinkle. Ironing is not required for material that can lie crumpled for several months and then have zero folds.
And it’s still like new! Even after several years of use, the material retains its appearance, is not taken in spools, and the cover (microfiber - material) will please the eye for a long time.
Do not forget to mention the shortcomings
Heat is a killer for any product made of microfiber material: a bedspread, a bag, a toy are deformed after heat exposure. Boil, wash at high temperatures, dry products on batteries is strictly not recommended. Look carefully at the labels where the desired temperature regime is indicated.
As an absolutely synthetic material, velsoft may become unacceptable for some people who are prone to allergic reactions to this kind of irritant. Be careful not to make a purchase harmful to your health.
Statics. Rummaging in the residual knowledge of the school physics course, we can recall the properties of static electricity. And in this case they are applicable to products. Therefore, in order to avoid excessive attraction of dust and other small debris, which in turn can affect the hygroscopic properties of microfiber, it is necessary to clean things in their velsoft in a timely manner.
The article contains photos that show such products as a hygiene product (the material is very convenient for wet cleaning in rooms - for mopping, mopping up dust), a bedspread. Microfiber - the material from which they are made. Gorgeous colors, excellent heat transfer and care.
