Teddy velvet fabric: soft and warm fashionable textile material

Teddy velvet fabric is a new type of textile fabric named because it looks like Teddy dog ​​fur. It is made of polyester fiber (polyester) as the main raw material. Some high-end models will add about 5% spandex to improve elasticity, or use a composite ratio of hollow polyester and modified acrylic (such as 60/40 or 70/30) to enhance performance. It has become a popular choice in the textile field with its soft texture and excellent warmth retention.

Core features

The most distinctive feature of teddy velvet is that the fluff is short, curly, dense and shiny, and feels as soft and comfortable as marshmallows. Its fibers mostly adopt trilobal or pentacle-shaped special-shaped cross-sections, which increase the specific surface area by 35%-45%. They can lock more still air and form an efficient thermal insulation layer, with better thermal insulation performance than ordinary velvet fabrics. At the same time, it has the advantages of anti-pilling, anti-static, not easy to deform, and does not fade. It has a breaking strength of 4.9-5.7cN/dtex, excellent wear resistance, and can still maintain good condition after repeated washing. Some products use microcapsule phase change finishing technology, which can dynamically adjust the internal microclimate of the fabric and reduce the range of body temperature fluctuations.

Production process

The production of teddy velvet requires multiple delicate processes: first, fine fibers are made through a special spinning process, then weaved to form a basic fabric, and then a sanding process is used to create a fluffy surface effect. Dope dyeing or high-temperature and high-pressure processes are commonly used in the dyeing process. The color fastness to dry rubbing reaches level 4-5, and the color fastness to wet rubbing reaches level 3-4. The color change after 50 washes is ΔE<2, ensuring long-lasting and stable color. Modern technology will also design a gradient structure, using fine fibers close to the skin to ensure comfort, the middle layer using thick fibers to form support, and the outer layer being encrypted with windproof and anti-drilling velvet to increase the thermal efficiency by more than 30%.

Specifications and Applications

Teddy velvet has a wide range of weights, ranging from 400 grams to 900 grams, and the width is usually 150-160 cm.
