Before understanding flax fabrics, we need to understand some flax fibers. Flax is an annual herb, and the raw material for weaving flax cloth-flax fiber is extracted from the hemp stem of the flax plant after degumming, pressing, and hemp. The biggest feature of flax fiber is that it has excellent moisture absorption and moisture conductivity, and it is a rare material for fabric weaving. The linen fabric, also known as linen fabric, as the name implies, is the general term for fabrics woven with flax fiber as the main raw material.
Fiber linen was introduced from Japan in 1906. China is mainly distributed in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. Flax likes a cool, humid climate. Flax fiber has the characteristics of strong tensile force, softness, good fineness, weak electrical conductivity, fast water absorption and water dissipation, and large expansion rate. It can be spun high-count yarn to make high-quality clothing.
What are the advantages of linen fabrics? Many people know that linen materials are good, but in the end what are the benefits of linen materials, but few people explain. In summary, the advantages of linen clothes are as follows:
Dryness: Linen cloth can absorb water equivalent to 20% of its own weight, and at the same time, it can quickly release the absorbed water. No matter how much sweat, it can keep it dry.
Cool: The heat dissipation performance of linen is 5 times that of wool and 19 times that of silk. In hot weather, wearing linen clothing can make the skin surface temperature 3-4 degrees lower than wearing silk and cotton fabrics.
Radiation protection: Wearing a pair of linen pants can greatly reduce the effects of radiation, such as the decline in the number of male sperm caused by radiation.
Anti-static: Only 10% flax in the blended fabric is sufficient for anti-static. It can effectively alleviate people’s restlessness, headache, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing in a static environment.
Reduce perspiration: help maintain the body’s electrolyte balance. Studies have shown that linen clothing can make the human body sweat 1.5 times less than wearing cotton clothing.
Anti-allergic: For people with skin allergies, linen clothing is undoubtedly a boon, because linen fabrics will not cause allergic reactions, but help to treat some allergic diseases. Flax can reduce inflammation and prevent fever.
Inhibition of bacteria: Flax has a good effect of inhibiting bacteria and fungi, and can effectively prevent some diseases. According to research conducted by Japanese researchers, linen sheets can prevent bedsores in bedridden patients for a long time, and linen clothing can help prevent and treat certain skins, such as common rashes and chronic eczema.
