What Is PR Microfiber Fabric?

PR Microfiber Fabric is made with extremely fine synthetic fibers, typically polyester and/or nylon. The fabric is made by drawing yarns through a spinneret at high speeds to create a very thin and lightweight material. The fibers are extremely soft and durable, and they can be woven into a variety of fabrics and used for many different applications. The most common use of the fabric is as a replacement for traditional cotton towels. The fabric is also used to make clothing, and it can be found in everything from dresses and blouses to coats and furniture upholstery.

There are four types of PR microfiber fabric, each with their own unique qualities and properties. The most common blend of the fabric is nylon and polyester, although other materials such as rayon are also available. The fabric is produced in several widths and weights, from dress and blouse weights to suit jacket and bottom weights. It is also a popular choice for outdoor fleece and wind-resistant sportswear, as well as tents, sleeping bags, and track or jogging suits.

The fabric is available brushed or un-brushed, with the brushing process creating a soft and velvety feel to the fabric that can be desirable for certain uses. It is a very absorbent cloth, making it ideal for wiping down surfaces to remove dust and other debris from the surface. It is very durable, and it is usually launderable with a mild detergent without the use of bleach or fabric softener.

Because the fabric is so fine, it can be woven into a material that feels like natural or manmade fabrics such as suede. In fact, the fabric is often used to produce animal-free imitation suede, as it is cheaper than genuine leather and easier to maintain. It is also very breathable, which can be desirable for apparel such as jackets or dresses, and for furniture upholstery, where it allows body heat and moisture to migrate away from the person sitting on it.

The scrubbing action of the millions of tiny fibers on the surface of the fabric makes it very effective for cleaning, as it is able to remove dirt and grime from the surface of the cloth. In addition, it is very lint-free, which can reduce the amount of cleaning solution required to clean a surface. It is also very easy to rinse off and dry, which can be an advantage when a large area needs to be cleaned quickly.

While the benefits of the fabric are clear, it is important to understand that the material has its limitations. It can be more difficult to dye than regular cotton, because the smaller fibers have a lower accessibility area. This can lead to a more uneven color shade, and it can take four times as much dyestuff to achieve the same depth of color. Microfibers are also more prone to dripping than conventional cloths, and they have less resistance to water.

The advantages of the cloths include their ability to last through 500 washings or more and their lack of lint, which makes them perfect for cleaning glass, stainless steel surfaces, specialty equipment, vehicles, and other items that attract dust and lint. The cloths can be laundered in cold water with one teaspoon of gentle, non-scented detergent on a normal cycle. They can be hung to dry or tumble dried on low.
