History of Microfibers:
Japanese fibre
manufacturing companies introduced the first ‘micro-denier’ products during the
1970s. Then followed the developments in Europe during the 1980s, and since the 1990s American
fibre manufacturers have been following suit. At present, polyester and nylon
are generally used for manufacturing microfibres. However, ‘micro-denier’
versions of rayon and acrylic products are on the horizon. For as long as
microfibre technology has been around, ultra-microfibre technology has existed
as well. These are fibres
that are less than 0.3dtex, and especially within the range of 0.1dtex. Several
different processes can be used to make these fibres, all involving the splitting
of a larger fiber into many smaller ones.
