Mysterious swimwear fabrics help the Olympics athletes “get off the water”

December 13, 2022

Recently there was a rising star in the Rio Olympic Games swimming pool. Many netizens rushed to Fu Yuanhui, who had used the power of the pre-recession. Then we saw the athletes thinking about their swim suits as if they were flying at full speed in the water. What kind of fabric is it? Does this fabric help athletes get good results? Quickly look at Xiaobian!

Many people find that the swimsuits worn by the players seem to be self-cultivating, which is actually an attempt to solve the style resistance. Swimsuits are at least two inches smaller, keeping the body curve smooth, allowing water to pass faster through the body. Through the three-dimensional cut styles, the swim suit can fit tightly with the human body's chest and buttocks, which not only ensures that all joints move freely, but also reduces water resistance.

Most bathing suits use textiles that do not sag and do not swell. The most common swimwear fabrics are: DuPont Lycra, Polyamide, and Polyester . The first two fabrics are used for one-piece swimwear because of their better elasticity and softness. Polyester due to less elastic, generally suitable for split swimsuits. For better swimwear, the spandex content in the fabric will reach about 18%.

 

1. DuPont Lycra: It is a kind of artificial elastic fiber. It has excellent elasticity and stretchability. It is suitable for blending with various fibers, and has the advantages of strengthening texture drape and wrinkle-free. Dupont Lycra, which contains chlorine-resistant ingredients, will enable swimwear to have a longer life than swimwear in common materials. Lycra can enhance the elasticity of the fabric. It can be combined with a variety of different fibers. Whether it is natural or synthetic fibers, it will not change the appearance and texture of the fabric. Such as wool + Lycra fabric is not only good elasticity, but also has a better fit shape, shape retention, drape and wearability after washing; cotton + Lycra not only has the advantages of cotton fiber comfort, breathability, but also take into account the cotton It does not have good elasticity and is not easily deformed, making the fabric more fit, fit, soft and comfortable. Lycra can add unique advantages to clothing: personal comfort, freedom of movement and long-term shape remain unchanged.

 

2. Nylon fabric: Although the texture is not as solid as the Lycra fabric, the elastic softness is comparable to that of the Lycra. Currently the most commonly used fabrics for swimwear, apply to mid-priced products. Nylon fabric is known for its excellent abrasion resistance. The advantages of nylon are: abrasion resistance, hygroscopicity and elasticity are very good. Under the small external force, it is easily deformed, so its fabric is easy to become wrinkled during wear. It is poor in heat resistance and light resistance. The nylon fabric has a relatively dull gloss and the surface is covered with a layer of wax. The color is not bright. Feeling hard, hands tightly grip the fabric and release it, crease, can slowly restore the original state. Warp, weft fastness.

 

3. Polyester fabric: Polyester has high strength and elastic recovery ability, its firmness and durability, anti-wrinkle and non-burning polyester fiber is the best heat-resistant fabric in synthetic fabrics, with thermoplastic properties, good light fastness, except for worse than acrylic. In addition, its light resistance is superior to that of natural fiber fabrics, while being resistant to various chemical properties. Acids and alkalis have little damage to them, and they are not afraid of mold and insects.

How to choose swimsuit fabrics?


1 The more expensive the swimsuit, the better: Swimsuits are not as flexible as possible, but they are more resilient to resiliency, that is, multiple stretches can still return to their original state. At the time of try-on, with the principle of fit and comfort, he had a lot of pocket water, heavier burdens and resistance, and he had lesser taylor, which caused poor blood flow. Here we need to pay attention: swimwear is not as expensive as possible.

 

2 "Sport" elastic stitches: Swimsuit fabrics are mostly soft and elastic, with dense lines and fine cuts. They are sewn with elastic threads so that sutures will not break due to movement.

 

3 Positioning lines that will “blast”: Because of the elastic properties of the fabric, in the case of lining, in order to ensure that the fabric is in a good position when stitched, it is necessary to take a flat machine without a stretch of the line to position it, and then use an elastic thread to sew the garment. This line ends at the end of the garment. It will be dismantled afterwards, but it may be because the dismantling is not complete, and the voice of the fried line will be heard on the first try. No need to bother about this. This is the sound of the line break and does not affect the quality of the swimwear itself.

 

4 How to maintain: Due to the particularity of bathing suit fabrics, when wearing swim suits, avoid sitting on rough objects and avoid sun oil and sunscreen lotion on swimming suits. After use, rinse with water. Otherwise, it will become dark due to fiber damage, and it will be elastic. Do not wring dry and roll in a dry towel to absorb excess water.
