Pilling of spandex printed jersey fabric during washing is a common problem. The answer involves multiple aspects such as fabric structure, fiber properties, and washing methods. Before discussing this issue, it is necessary to first understand the cause of pilling.
Pilling is a phenomenon that occurs when fabrics are washed or worn. It is caused by the friction and stretching of the fibers on the surface of the fabric, which can cause the fibers to break or deform, resulting in the formation of small balls of fiber or fuzz. Pilling is generally caused by the wear and tear of fibers. One scenario is that long fibers break during friction, forming small balls of fiber. Another scenario is that the fuzz on the surface of the fiber is intertwined due to friction, forming a spherical structure.
For
spandex printed jersey fabric, the main component is nylon fiber, which has high elasticity and wear resistance. Generally speaking, pure nylon fabrics are not prone to pilling because nylon fibers themselves have high strength and wear resistance, and are not easily broken or form pilling. However, if nylon fabrics are blended with other fibers, and the blended fibers have lower wear resistance, then these fibers are likely to pilling during friction.
In addition, the printed part of the spandex printed jersey fabric may also affect the pilling phenomenon. If the pigment or dye of the printed part is not firmly attached, or the texture of the printed pattern causes the surface to be uneven, then these unstable factors may aggravate the occurrence of pilling during friction.
To reduce the likelihood of pilling in spandex printed jersey fabrics, the following measures are recommended for the washing process:
Use a mild detergent: Choose a mild detergent that is specifically designed for nylon fabrics. Wash in warm water following the washing instructions and avoid excessive rubbing or stretching.
Avoid washing with rough fibers:To reduce the friction damage, it is recommended to avoid washing nylon printed sweat fabrics with clothes that have rough fibers.
During the washing process, putting nylon printed sweat fabrics in a laundry bag can reduce direct contact with other clothes and lower the friction level. This can help prevent pilling and other damage to the fabric.
Follow the correct washing method: Choose the appropriate washing method and temperature according to the washing instructions on the fabric label, and avoid using hot water and strong washing procedures.
Although spandex printed jersey fabric itself is not prone to pilling, you still need to pay attention to choosing appropriate washing methods and detergents during the washing process to reduce the possibility of pilling and maintain the beauty and durability of the fabric
