Textile fibers microdenier

Mkrofiber or microdenier fiber has become important in the fashion industry. The reason for this is the fine size of microfiber. It is finer than any natural textile fiber such as silk, wool, etc. Microfibers are nothing but polyester fibers with diameter <5 xm (or less than 1 den). Such fineness allows more filaments to be packed in the yarn. Fabrics using such tightly bundled filaments are said to have a buttery texture like velour or washed silk. They also have the desirable characteristics of polyester, namely wrinkle-resistance and durability. Such fabrics are used in men s wear, women s wear, rainwear, active wear and home furnishings.
