Three ways to achieve anti-mite function

At present, there are generally three ways to achieve anti-mite function in textiles. The first is to add nano-scale anti-bacterial and anti-mite particles during melt spinning of fiber raw materials, so that the fiber itself has anti-mite function and does not require special treatment in subsequent processes; The second method is to carry out anti-bacterial and anti-mite finishing on the fabric, so that the anti-bacterial and anti-mite agent can be attached to the fabric tissue; the third method does not require the addition of any chemical ingredients and relies on the density of the fabric itself to prevent mites from penetrating the fabric to achieve the purpose of preventing mites. . These three anti-mite methods have their own pros and cons, and the anti-mite effects are also very different.

The advantage of adding antibacterial finishing particles to fiber raw materials is that the fiber itself has antibacterial and anti-mite functions, and the functionality will not be reduced as the number of washing times increases. It also eliminates the energy consumption of the post-finishing process and saves energy. cost. The disadvantage is that this method is only suitable for chemical fiber raw materials and is not suitable for natural fibers. At present, most of the raw materials used in bedding are basically cotton or cotton blended materials, and this method has relatively high technical requirements. Currently, there are still There is no production.

Antibacterial and anti-mite finishing of fabrics is a method commonly used by domestic fabric companies. The advantage of this method is that the process is relatively simple, the antibacterial and antimite effect is obvious, and it is not limited by the material of the fabric. The disadvantage is that after repeated washing, the antibacterial and anti-mite functions will be reduced.

The above methods can be collectively called chemical anti-mite methods. Their common feature is that the fabric has a repellent effect on mites, that is, the mites cannot stay on the surface of the fabric, and the fabric itself also has antibacterial functions. This method is ideal for people with severe mite allergies. Medical-grade anti-mite products are generally made using the above methods. The disadvantage of the chemical anti-mite method is that due to the addition of chemicals, people will put a question mark on its safety. Even if it is proven to be no problem after safety testing, it is difficult to completely eliminate consumer doubts.

Physical anti-mite method is a method that does not add any chemical substances and relies on the high density of fabric to achieve anti-mite effect. The advantage of this method is that the fabric is safe and reliable. The disadvantages are that the breathability is poor, the fabric feels hard, and the touch is not very good. In addition, because this kind of anti-mite fabric itself has no repellent function against mites, mites will still survive on the surface of the fabric. The mites may also enter the interior of the textile through the pinholes in the stitching of the textile. Therefore, the anti-mite function is not as effective as chemical methods. good.
