How to identify the type of textile fabric？

1. Sensory identification method The sensory identification method mainly includes sight, hand touch, ear hearing, nose and sniffing. Firstly, the category of fiber or fabric is initially distinguished, and then the sensory characteristics of the fiber in the fabric are used to further determine the type of raw material , And finally make a final judgment based on the sensory characteristics of the fabric. If you are not sure about the judgment, other methods can be used to verify it.

2. Combustion identification method Different textile fabrics have different combustion characteristics. Cotton fiber burns when it encounters a fire. The burning speed is fast, producing a yellow flame and smelling. Hemp fiber burns quickly, softens, does not melt, and does not shrink. Wool does not burn immediately when exposed to flames, first curls, then smokes, and then the fibers blisters and burn. Silk burns relatively slowly, melts and curls, shrinks into a ball when burned, and smells like burning hair. The burning behavior of viscose fiber is basically similar to cotton, but the burning speed of viscose fiber is slightly faster than cotton fiber, and there is less ash. Acetate fiber burns fast, has sparks, and burns while melting, and it has a pungent acetic acid smell when it burns.
