EnglishFlax is still an important raw material and oil crop for the textile industry. The fiber of flax is known as the "queen of natural fibers" due to its natural, rustic, rare, and noble color. Chinese traditional medicine experts believe in the traditional concept of traditional Chinese medicine that the function of flax is similar to human skin, with natural functions such as regulating temperature, protecting the skin, and killing viruses and bacteria. Linen fabric has good hygiene performance, fast moisture absorption and heat dissipation, breathable and smooth, comfortable feeling, warm in winter and cool in summer, anti-static, anti fouling and anti dust health functions.
Using some data to illustrate the hygiene performance of flax: DNSW Fiber School in Australia provides research information: flax contains hemicellulose that can absorb ultraviolet light, preventing it from reaching the human body, protecting the skin, and has anti magnetic and anti radiation effects. The results of contact testing and leachate testing show that compared with the control of grass and bamboo mats, the mortality rate of bacteria and fungi in flax mats is significantly increased, indicating that flax mats have a certain bactericidal effect.
Characteristics of linen: cool, sweat absorbing, non stick, antibacterial, breathable, anti-static, natural fiber, green boutique.
It has good strength, with the highest strength among plant fibers. When wet, the strength can increase by 10%. It has a good hand feel and a good luster. Better water absorption than cotton (with a moisture regain of 12%), it can quickly absorb moisture and dry quickly. Due to the cooling effect caused by rapid drying, these characteristics make it particularly suitable for wearing in hot weather environments. Linen has strong washability and can also be dry cleaned. However, sometimes it is mandatory for fabrics to be dry cleaned due to the need for finishing or product structure. The highest safe ironing temperature for linen is about 450 ℉ (232 ℃), and it will not produce static electricity or pilling. Hemp fabrics are characterized by not shedding fluff due to their lack of short fibers.
