Mankind's first synthetic fiber, Nylon, is fiber
manufactured by composing Polymer, which is most similar to mineral of silk. It
was developed by Dr.Carothers at American Dupont in 1935, and commercialized
from 1938. As the age of considering 'synthetic fiber is well sold when
manufactured as substitute of natural fiber' is over, synthetic fiber has
maximized its feature and characteristic in nowadays and it is called as highly
functional and performing new materials. As clothe customers demand highly
sensible and high quality products, features of high-tech fabrics are being more
important. In nowadays, 'micro fiber' has brought up as a part of fulfilling
customers' demands for new material and new synthetic materials in synthetic
fiber industry. As all foreign synthetic fiber makers recently focus on
development of micro fiber and textiles using micro fiber, it is being focused as
the best promising item in synthetic fiber
industry.
Definition of Micro fiber is generally determined by
standard of yarn and manufacturing methods. If we take a look at the
definition of yarn standards, unit for synthetic fibers and linen is Denier and
Tex. Denier is a unit representing thickness of linen, such as yarn, nylon
and others, and it is calculated with the weight of yarn. 1 Denier means 1gr
for 9,000m. As Denier value gets lower, the thickness gets thinner, and as the
value gets higher, the thickness gets thicker. Therefore, it requires higher
technology to manufacture yarns with low Denier value. Thread of synthetic
fiber gets extremely difficult as Denier value gets lower. Making some thick
objects into thin objects is easy, but making a thin object with thickness of
hair even thinner is extremely tough process. Therefore, securing highly
reliable production technology enabling the first
thing is the technology of manufacturing micro fiber, the
second thing is the technology of processing
micro fiber, and the third thing is the
technology of making defect zero at same time is required. With hard efforts
in long period, products manufactured during research and development period are
produced and sold in the market. These products are new silk-like products such
as Nylon and Polyester with excellent fabrics touch feeling. Like this,
micro fibers or products made with micro fibers with lower than 1 Denier, which
is the unit used for micro fibers are known as
'Micro fiber'.
For

preventing factor materials causing allergy is most efficient. -
Originally
Keeps House Dust Mite Away.
Mono Filament 0.12 Denier - It has 1/100
thickness of hair and length to moon with 5g. Since it is thinner than house
dust mite, house dust mite can't go through it. This is well preferred as
functional fabrics for bedclothes, carpet, sofa and cloth. The characteristic
of mono filament is that since it great amount of sweat, water and moisture with
capillary effect, it is widely used for sports towel, sports wear and water
purifier filter, and very suitable for baby item, baby clothe and underwear.
Moreover, since it can even be used for artificial sweater, artificial shimmy,
artificial mustang, cleaner, glass cleaner and other various purposes, it is
being focused as the next generation new material in 21C. Yarn -
There are divided micro fiber, chart micro fiber, and eluted micro fiber.
