MICROFIBER

• What is Microfiber ?

A microfiber is so called when it's weight is
less than 1 gram per 10km length. For most
microfibers this equates to a diameter of less
than 0.13 denier. A microfiber is always made up
of two polymers, which combine to form a single
tread. The polymers are used 70 polyester and
30 polyamide(nylon).

• The thickness of micro-fiber is finer than 1/100
  of human-hair.

• Mechanism of Cleaning

• Microfiber would have more than 10 times of
  surface area comparing to normal fiber, and this
  will
• create much stronger absorbability due to
  capillary actions of these fine holes.

• The ultra fineness of each fiber means more
  fibers per square centimeter.
• This results in a far greater quantity of
  fibers coming into contact with the surface to be
  cleaned.
• This gives a faster, more efficient result.

• Advantage of Microfiber product

The fibers are then used in the manufacture of
microfiber cleaning cloths. This can take various
forms for example woven and knitted cloths,
non-woven etc.

• Mighty Absorbability.

• Because of the capillary action of the
  microscopic pores of each fiber, it absorbs a
  tremendous
• volume of dirty water with lightening speed.
• In addition its drying abilty is superior. If it
  is squeezed, the absorbed water of quickly moved
• on the surface of the fiber through the
  inside minute hole and in a short time it is
  exhaled and dried.
• Microfiber is capable of absorbing 7 times their
  own weight in water."

• Easy to repair and keep maintenance.

• Easy Washing

• A micro-fiber is made of 70 Polyester and 30
  Polyamide bi-component fiber and
• it is split into 16 or 17 micro segments by
  special physical chemical treatment.

• The splitted Microfiber have two components a
  star-shaped polyamide(nylon) core,
• with polyester segments in the spaces
  between the points.

• Polyester Microfiber makes so many pin holes
  among fibers which have a strong absorbability
• by capillary action, and it expands on
  surfaces which brings strong clean-ability.
