Types of
Fibers
There are four types of
fibers: 1. Manufactured,
2.Synthetic,
3.Natural,
4. Minor miscellaneous types.
The term man mande or manufactured fibers
means any fiber derived by a proeces of manufacture from any substances which
any point manufacturing process is not a fiber.
Natural fibers are
replaced by man-made fibers due to following reason:
1.The strebght of
man-made fibers is greadter then natutral.
2.The production of
natural depends upon natural condition.But the properties of man-made do not
depend on natural.
3.Man-made fiber
processing is easdy then nutral fiber.
4.The properties of
Mad-made i.e dtrength,appeRnce,action of acids,elasticity etc can be changed
but not oncase of natural.
5.Man-made fiber is
cheaper then nutural.
6.Flodds,droughs,natual
calamity has on effect on man made fiber.
Forms of Man-Made
fiber:
Man Made fiber are
produced in three types-
1.Filament
2. Staple .
3.Filament tow
1.Filament:Fukanebt fibers
are spukn fron spinnerets with 350 holes or less is determined by size of the
yarn to be made.The number of holes in the spinneret determines the no of
filaments is the yarn filaments are of two types:
1.Mono
filament
2.Multi
filament.
Monofilament:
This filament is made
only of a single filament.
Multifilament:
These filaments are made
of more then one filament.
2. Staple fibers:
Staple fiber is of limited
and relatively short length.Staple fiber are made from filaments which are spun
from large spinnerets with as many as 3000 holes.The length of the staoke fiber
the staple fiber depends on its use.Staple fiber is a unit of natter which is
usually at least 100 times longer then its thick.
3.Filament Tow:
The product of
100 or mire spinnerets is collected inti a large rope of fibers called Tow.
This rope of tow is crimped and then made into staple by cutting of breaking.
