1、 Definition and process of thickening polyester plush fabric
Core measurement: Gram weight (g/㎡)
Regular thin version: 150-180g; Regular version: 200-250g;
Thickening: 280-320g (universal thickening);
Ultra thick/double-sided composite: 350g+(such as double-sided fleece, composite lamb fleece);
Thickening can also be achieved through double-layer composite, high-density flocking, twisting of coarse fibers, and pulling/combing processes, rather than simply overlapping.
Material: 100% polyester (polyester fiber), partially mixed with a small amount of spandex to increase elasticity; Washable, not easily deformed, and has better resistance to pilling than pure cotton wool;
Common thickened product categories
Polar fleece (280-320g, outdoor liner/jacket);
Coral fleece/flannel (260-300g, pajamas/blankets);
Teddy velvet/granular velvet (260g+, clothing/sofa/toy);
Imitation lamb wool/comfortable cotton wool (300g+, winter coat lining/pet nest);
Thickened fleece
Thickened coral fleece
Thick Teddy Velvet
2、 Core features and advantages/disadvantages
Advantages: Strong warmth retention (fur locks in temperature); Not easy to shed hair (high-density); Machine washable; quick-drying; After anti-static treatment, it is not easy to stick to dust; Resistant to sunlight and aging;
Disadvantage: Slightly inferior breathability compared to pure cotton; Poor quality products are prone to pilling/shedding; Direct contact with some sensitive skin requires internal application;
Key indicators:
Weight (must be marked to avoid “virtual thickness”);
Width (150cm for home decoration/clothing, 160-180cm for industrial width);
Anti pilling rating (≥ 3 for household use, ≥ 4 for clothing);
Environmentally friendly dyeing (formaldehyde free/skin contact standard).
3、 Applicable scenarios
Clothing category: winter jackets, fleece hoodies, warm home clothes/pajamas, children’s clothing, inner lining of assault jackets;
Home textiles: thickened blankets, sofa covers, pillows, mattress covers, window cushions;
Toys/pets: plush toys, large dolls, pet beds/mats;
Outdoor/Industrial: Tent lining, cold proof clothing, windproof blankets.
4、 Purchasing and Avoiding Pits Guide
Select weight by purpose
Home clothing/thin blanket: 260-280g;
Coat/blanket: 300-320g;
Cold outdoor/ultra thick mat: 350g+double-sided composite;
Check the test/sample: Request a small sample that does not shed hair or clump when rubbed by hand; Burning has black smoke and hard black particles (characteristic of polyester); No pungent odor detected;
Distinguish between neutral and acidic dyeing: Clothing/personal items must be neutral and environmentally friendly;
