Decorative
Decorative textiles, as the name suggests, are primarily designed for decorative purposes. Therefore, being able to fully achieve the decorative purpose is the most basic requirement for this type of textile. The decorative properties of decorative textiles are mainly reflected through the color, pattern, style, texture, and other aspects of the fabric. At the same time, great attention should be paid to coordination with the surrounding environment and with the decorative objects.
practicability
Decorative textiles are different from artworks, they are practical textiles. Although good decorative textiles or decorative designs can provide artistic enjoyment, they must meet practical requirements. This includes convenience of use (including ease of construction), durability as much as possible, and meeting consumer comfort requirements.
Security
Not only for household decorative textiles, but also for decorative textiles used in crowded places such as hotels, hotels, cars, ships, and airplanes, they must be flame retardant. Some should also be anti-static and prevent harmful chemicals from harming the human body, ensuring safety and reliability.
Different classifications

Classification by processing method
1. Machine woven decorative textiles. Refers to various decorative textiles processed and woven using ordinary looms or special looms (such as pile looms).
2. Knitted decorative textiles. Refers to various decorative textiles processed and woven using weft knitting machines or warp knitting machines.
3. Woven decorative textiles. Decorative textiles woven by hand, such as hand drawn products, woven fabrics, etc.
4. Non woven decorative textiles. Decorative textiles processed and manufactured using non-woven methods, such as non-woven fabrics.
Classification by decorative object and purpose
1. Decorative textiles mainly used for decorating buildings and building floors. Soft flooring materials processed from raw materials such as cotton, wool, silk, hemp, coconut palm, and chemical fibers mainly include carpets and pedestrian lawns
2. Decorative textiles with decorative building walls as the main object. For example: silk products used as wall covering materials, portraits, wall decoration knitted fabrics woven by warp knitting machines, wall decoration fabrics processed and woven by methods similar to weaving carpets, wall carpets, various wall fabrics, wall felt, etc.
3. Decorative textiles mainly used for decorating indoor doors, windows, and spaces. For example, window screens, curtains, door curtains, isolation curtains, curtains, etc. with different weaving methods and materials.
4. Decorative textiles mainly used for decorating various furniture. For example: sofa and chair fabric, chair cover, tablecloth, tablecloth, lighting, cushion, seat cushion, etc.
5. Decorative textiles with decorative bedding as the main object. Commonly known as bedding, it includes: sheets, bedding, duvet covers, pillows and bed covers, duvet covers, duvet covers, and various blankets, pillowcases, and so on.
6. Decorative textiles used to decorate dining, bathroom environments, and meet the needs of bathroom hygiene. Such as various towels, bath towels, shower curtains, aprons, napkins, handkerchiefs, dishcloths, mops, toilet seat covers, floor towels, blankets, etc., used as decorative textiles for catering, cooking, bathroom, and so on.
Development process

In addition to inherent quality requirements, fabrics used in the early stages of household textiles only had certain requirements for shrinkage and color fastness. With the rapid development of the domestic home textile market, there are higher requirements for the functional types of home textile fabrics. Users also have strict requirements for household textiles: for towels, adults and children must use them every day, so they have high requirements for the water absorption, antibacterial and deodorizing properties of the fabric; For bedding, while pursuing warmth, it should not be too heavy; For curtains, not only should they serve as decoration indoors, but they also have high requirements for wind and water resistance; For sofa fabrics, in addition to the requirements of aesthetics and good hand feel, the fabric's good anti staining and stain removal properties are also important measurement standards. These performance requirements are very demanding from the perspective of textile technology, and many indicators even conflict with each other. Any single natural or chemical fiber cannot meet these requirements, and can only achieve these functions as much as possible through the composite of multiple fibers and multi-channel chemical finishing.
1. Warmth retention: Although warmth retention is closely related to the thickness of the fabric, users do not like bedding such as blankets that are too heavy, so keeping warm and lightweight has become a basic requirement for bedding at present. The most common method to achieve this requirement is to make the interior of polyester fibers porous and hollow, so that the fibers contain a large amount of non circulating air, and the exterior is made into a spiral curl shape to maintain fluffiness. Therefore, it can play a good insulation role while ensuring lightweight texture.
In addition, special ceramic powders containing chromium oxide, magnesium oxide, zirconia, etc. are added to the spinning solution of synthetic fibers such as polyester, especially nanoscale micro ceramic powders. They can absorb visible light such as sunlight and convert it into heat energy, thus possessing excellent insulation and heat storage performance. Furthermore, far-infrared ceramic powder, adhesive, and crosslinking agent are formulated as finishing agents to coat the fabric, which is then dried and baked to allow nano ceramic powder to adhere to the surface of the fabric and between the yarn. This finishing agent has health benefits such as antibacterial, deodorizing, and promoting blood circulation.
2. Antibacterial and deodorizing properties: Due to the frequent use of towel products dipped in water and generally placed in relatively humid environments, microorganisms can multiply in large numbers, which may cause the towel to emit an odor and cause itching in the user. Therefore, the requirements for towels are relatively high, and it is best to undergo antibacterial and odor resistant chemical treatment. The general approach is to use finishing agents with bactericidal properties to give them a certain degree of antibacterial properties. In recent years, Japan has made many explorations in the research of natural antibacterial finishing agents, such as using aromatic oil extracts with bactericidal effects such as aloe vera and mugwort leaves, coating them in porous organic microcapsules or porous ceramic powders, attaching them to the fabric, and crosslinking them with resin. The antibacterial agent is slowly released through mechanical actions such as friction and pressure to achieve durable antibacterial finishing. This type of natural antibacterial agent has certain health benefits, but due to limited technology for fixing antibacterial agents at present, the washing resistance of antibacterial agents is not good enough. The antibacterial performance decreases slightly after each washing, and generally disappears completely after dozens of times.
3. Anti fouling and stain resistance: Sofa fabric household textiles are required to be as resistant to stains as possible, and once stained, they should be easy to wash and remove. The current commonly used technology is to change the surface properties of fibers, significantly increasing the surface tension of fabrics, making it difficult for oil and other stains to penetrate into the interior of fabrics. Mild stains can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth, and heavier stains are also easy to clean. Anti fouling finishing not only prevents oil pollution, but also has waterproof and breathable properties, making it a practical and effective advanced chemical finishing method.
4. Waterproof properties: Household textiles such as curtains and sofas require the fabric to have good waterproof properties. Waterproof fabrics utilize the surface tension characteristics of water and apply a layer of PTFE (with the same chemical composition but different physical structure as PTFE, the "king of corrosion-resistant fibers") on the fabric to enhance the surface tension of the fabric. This chemical coating prevents water droplets from penetrating the pores on the surface structure of the fabric, thereby achieving waterproof effects.
