Antibacterial or deodorizing function of polyester microfiber fabric

1. Basic characteristics of polyester microfiber fabric
Polyester microfiber is a microfiber with a diameter of less than 0.1 micron. It is made by a special production process and has excellent characteristics such as high strength, high wear resistance, good moisture absorption and perspiration performance and breathability. These characteristics make polyester microfiber fabrics widely used in many fields such as clothing, home furnishings, and automotive interiors.

2. Antibacterial function of polyester microfiber fabric
The antibacterial function of polyester microfiber fabric mainly comes from the antibacterial agents added to its surface or inside. These antibacterial agents usually include inorganic antibacterial agents, organic antibacterial agents, and natural antibacterial agents. By evenly dispersing these antibacterial agents in the fiber or attaching them to the fiber surface, polyester microfiber fabrics can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.

Types of antibacterial agents
Inorganic antibacterial agents: such as metal ion antibacterial agents such as silver ions and copper ions, which achieve the purpose of sterilization by destroying the cell wall or cell membrane of bacteria.
Organic antimicrobial agents: such as quaternary ammonium salts, halogenated alkanes, etc., which achieve antibacterial effects by combining with the cell membrane of bacteria and changing its permeability.
Natural antimicrobial agents: such as chitosan, tea polyphenols, etc., which come from nature and have the advantages of safety and environmental protection, but the antibacterial effect may be relatively weak.
Antibacterial mechanism
Contact sterilization: antimicrobial agents come into direct contact with bacteria, destroy their cell structure, and cause bacterial death.
Growth inhibition: antimicrobial agents can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, thereby reducing the number of bacteria.
Release sterilization: some antimicrobial agents can continuously release bactericidal substances to form a lasting antibacterial effect.
Application examples
In outdoor sportswear, the use of polyester microfiber fabrics can improve the antibacterial properties of clothing, effectively prevent bacterial growth, and keep clothing clean and hygienic.
In the field of medical and health care, antibacterial polyester fiber fabrics are widely used in medical masks, surgical gowns, nurse uniforms and other medical supplies to prevent the spread of pathogenic microorganisms.
3. Deodorant function of polyester microfiber fabric
In addition to antibacterial function, polyester microfiber fabric also has excellent deodorant function. This is mainly due to its good breathability and moisture absorption and perspiration performance, as well as the durable deodorant and deodorant treatment agent added in the finishing process.

Breathability and moisture absorption and perspiration performance
The special structure of polyester microfiber fabric gives it excellent breathability and moisture absorption and perspiration performance. The gaps between fibers allow air circulation, reduce the accumulation of sweat, and thus reduce the environment for bacterial growth.
At the same time, the microporous structure on the fiber surface can quickly absorb and volatilize sweat, keep the skin dry, and prevent odor.
Durable deodorant and deodorant treatment
In the finishing process, polyester microfiber fabrics are usually treated with durable deodorant and deodorant. This treatment agent can neutralize and decompose body odors such as sweat, and achieve the function of long-term elimination of body odor and sweat odor.
The treatment agent is usually tightly combined with the fiber and is not easy to fall off, so it can maintain a long-lasting deodorant effect.
Application Examples
In household items, such as bedding, sofa cushions, etc., the deodorizing function of polyester microfiber fabrics can keep the home environment fresh and hygienic.
In car interiors, such as seats and cushions, the deodorizing function of polyester microfiber fabrics can reduce the generation of odor in the car and improve driving and riding comfort.
