Striped Korean velvet composite Austrian velvet: full analysis of structure, technology and application trends

Striped Korean velvet composite Austrian velvet is a double-layer composite functional fabric. The surface layer is Korean velvet with a vertical stripe texture, and the inner layer is compounded with soft and warm Austrian velvet. It combines the delicate touch of suede, the striped three-dimensional shape and the temperature locking performance of the double-layer structure. It is a high-end fabric choice for autumn and winter outerwear, home clothes, children's clothing and other clothing.

1. Principles: the core logic of three-dimensional texture and warmth and temperature locking

1. Texture shaping principle of Korean velvet Korean velvet itself is a suede fabric woven from high-density polyester staple fiber. The stripping process adjusts the yarn feed amount of the knitting machine and the arrangement of the needle bed to form regular vertical groove stripes (strips) on the surface of the fabric. This structure not only enhances the three-dimensional effect and stiffness of the fabric, but also improves the breathability of the surface layer and avoids the heavy feeling of traditional velveteen fabrics.

2. The double-layer composite thermal insulation principle uses hot melt adhesive composite or flame composite technology to firmly combine the surface layer of Korean velvet with the inner layer of Austrian fleece. The static air layer formed between the two layers is an excellent thermal insulator, which can effectively reduce the heat loss of the human body; the curly fibers of the inner layer of Austrian fleece can lock the air, further enhancing the thermal insulation performance, and achieving the dual effect of "the surface layer is breathable and windproof, and the inner layer is warm and skin-friendly".

2. Craftsmanship: the fine process from raw materials to finished products

1. Raw material selection: Korean velvet for the surface layer is made of high-count polyester staple fiber to ensure the fineness of the suede surface and the shaping effect of the slitting; the inner layer of Austrian velvet is made of polyester low-elastic yarn, which is formed into a soft granular suede through the raising process; the composite adhesive is made of environmentally friendly hot melt adhesive to ensure no odor, washability, and meets clothing safety standards.

2. split weaving

• Korean velvet gray fabric is first woven, and the strip texture weaving is completed through a computer-controlled knitting machine. It is then dyed, raised, and shaped to ensure that the strip spacing is even and the suede surface does not fall off;

• The Austrian fleece gray fabric is woven simultaneously. After carding, raising and shearing processes, a granular suede surface with a fluffy feel is created, and the pile length is controlled to be uniform to avoid lint shedding and pilling.

3. The lamination and post-finishing adopt flame lamination process (environmentally friendly and without glue marks). The Korean velvet and Austrian velvet are precisely aligned and laminated, and the lamination temperature and pressure are controlled to ensure that the two layers are firmly attached without delamination. Subsequently, pre-shrinking, anti-static finishing and soft finishing are carried out. The pre-shrinking treatment reduces the fabric shrinkage, and the anti-static finishing solves the pain point of polyester fabrics prone to static electricity and improves wearing comfort.

3. Application Category: Covering practical scenarios in multiple fields

Striped Korean velvet composite Austrian velvet has warm, soft and three-dimensional characteristics, and its application scenarios are highly targeted:

• Autumn and winter clothing field: used to make jacket linings, sweatshirts, jackets, and surface layers of cotton clothing. The striped texture enhances clothing design. The double-layer structure is suitable for low-temperature environments, taking into account both fashion and warmth;

• Home clothing field: can be used to make autumn and winter home clothes, nightgowns, and blankets. The inner layer of Austrian velvet is skin-friendly and soft, and the outer layer of Korean velvet is wear-resistant and easy to clean, suitable for keeping warm at home;

• Children's clothing field: As the preferred fabric for children's coats and jumpsuits, the soft and boneless composite process avoids friction on children's delicate skin, the warmth and temperature locking performance adapts to the needs of children's outdoor activities, and it is wear-resistant, washable and not easily deformed;

• Accessories field: used to make scarves, gloves, hats, etc. The suede surface is comfortable to touch, the striped structure is not easy to deform, and it is both beautiful and practical.

4. Maintenance: maintenance skills to extend the life of fabrics

1. Washing requirements are recommended for gentle machine or hand washing in cold water (water temperature ≤ 30°C). When machine washing, put it in a laundry bag to avoid mixing with rough clothes to prevent the surface strips from wearing and the inner layer of Austrian velvet from pilling. Use neutral detergents and prohibit alkaline detergents and bleaches to prevent the suede from fading and the adhesive layer from failing, leading to delamination.

2. Drying and ironing: Dry in the shade or dry on the reverse side at low temperature to avoid sunlight exposure. High temperature will cause the polyester fiber to age and the suede to harden. Do not wring it out hard to prevent the composite layer from shifting and deforming. The ironing temperature should be controlled at 100℃~120℃. When ironing, put a layer of damp cloth under it and give priority to ironing the reverse side to avoid direct contact with the suede at high temperatures, which may cause linting.

3. When storing, please fold and store it flat to avoid stretching and deformation of the fabric caused by hanging for a long time; keep the storage environment dry and ventilated to prevent mold; keep away from sharp objects to prevent snags from damaging the strips and suede structure.

5. Technology: the core breakthrough direction of performance upgrades

1. Functional modification technology uses antibacterial and anti-mite finishing to give the fabric antibacterial and anti-odor functions, expanding its application in infant clothing, medical home textiles and other fields; using windproof and waterproof finishing, a protective film is formed on the surface of Korean velvet to improve the outdoor performance of the fabric.

2. Composite process optimization and research and development of ultrasonic composite process to replace traditional hot-melt adhesive composite to achieve glue-free, highly washable composite effect, while reducing environmental pollution during the production process; precise control of the composite tension ensures that the two layers of fabrics fit together smoothly without bubbles or wrinkles.

3. The innovative raw material technology uses recycled polyester fiber to make Korean velvet and Austrian velvet to create environmentally friendly composite fabrics; through the application of ultra-fine denier polyester fiber, the fineness and skin-friendly feel of the suede surface are further improved.

6. Trend category: new direction of market development

1. Environmental protection trend: The application proportion of environmentally friendly raw materials such as recycled polyester and bio-based fibers continues to increase. Green processes such as glue-free lamination and low-temperature dyeing are gradually becoming popular. Low-carbon and environmentally friendly composite fabrics are more favored by brands and consumers.

2. The trend of functional composites, which combines multiple functions such as antibacterial, windproof, waterproof, and antistatic, into Korean velvet composite velvet, will become the mainstream choice for outdoor clothing and children's clothing, meeting the market demand of "one cloth with multiple uses".

3. The personalized design trend realizes differentiated designs such as two-color composite and gradient strips by adjusting the spacing and width of strips, as well as the velvet color of Austrian velvet, to adapt to the customization needs of niche clothing brands and break the homogeneous competition pattern.

Relying on the dual advantages of three-dimensional texture and warmth and temperature locking, striped Korean velvet composite Austrian velvet is developing steadily in the direction of environmental protection, functionality and personalization, driven by consumption upgrades and demand for autumn and winter clothing.
