Knitted fabrics are combed before delivery, and mechanical or organic chemical methods are generally used to improve the feel and appearance of fabrics. Its primary goal is to improve the level and added value of fabrics, and to enhance the beauty and elegance. In the carding of fabric appearance, glossy carding is one of them.

To put it bluntly, the glossy carding process makes the surface of the fabric softer, brighter, smoother and softer to enhance the added value of the fabric. There are the following types of processing methods for the glossy carding of the fabric appearance:

1. Calendering

Calendering is a whole process of processing technology that uses the ductility of chemical fibers under cold and wet standards to flatten the surface of the fabric or roll out the fine twill fabric with parallel planes to improve the luster of the fabric. Flat calendering is a hard calendering point composed of hard rollers and soft rollers. After the fabric is rolled, the cotton yarn is flattened, the surface is smooth, the gloss is improved, and the touch is hard. Soft calendering is a soft calendering point composed of two soft rollers. After the fabric is rolled, the cotton yarn is slightly flat, with mild luster and soft touch.

The calendered fabric is thinner, softer, brighter, cleaner, stronger, less prone to ballooning, paraffin slices for clothing, cooler and more comfortable in summer.

2. Electro-optic

Electro-optic is the use of mechanical equipment working pressure, temperature and other functions, so that the fabric has a surface with fine straight lines and a stronger luster than calendering. The mechanical equipment structure principle and production process of electro-optical carding machine are similar to calendering. Electro-optical machine is mostly composed of two rollers, one hard and one soft. Therefore, electro-optic carding not only flattens the fabric, but also rolls out the lines parallel to each other on the surface of the fabric, which covers the irregular ordering of chemical fibers or cotton yarns on the surface of the fabric. Shiny and satin feel.

3. Embossing

Crimping is formed by rolling sticks and soft rollers engraved with positive lines. In the state of hot rolling, the fabric can get a glossy texture. The surface of the embossed fabric is embossed with convex and concave lines, which improves the pattern of the fabric and has a strong sense of hierarchy. Such as cotton calendered cloth, crimped cloth, polyester mesh, crimped cloth, etc., it is very suitable for summer clothing fabrics.
