PRESENTATION OUTLINE

OLEFIN

Olefin is a synthetic fiber

The appearance of olefin fiber is uneven

The fiber comes from Italy or the U.S. The processing of this fiber Olefin fiber is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of ethylene, propylene, or other olefin units.

The advantages of this fabric are its strength, colorfastness and comfort. The disadvantage are compresses easily, lacks resilience, oils bond to fibers causing discoloration

The characteristics of olefin fibers are its strength, colourfastness and comfort. its resistance to staining, mildew, abrasion, sunlight and its good bulk and cover.

Olefin fiber they do not Burn they melt

Fabrics made from olefin fiber are polyolefin, such as polypropylene or polyethylene.


Olefin is produced in much the same way as polyester and nylon. The chemicals used to make olefin are melted and fed through a spinneret head (similar to a large showerhead) where it then forms a long fiber. The fiber then solidifies by some cooling process. Variations and additives used during the manufacturing process of fibers can alter the characteristics and end uses of the fibers tremendously.

I would not like to wear a garment made of this fabric

OLEFIN DOSE NOT HAVE A UNIVERSAL SYMBOL

Olefin fiber does not absorb dye easily making it hard to dye after manufacturing

The price of this fabric is from $9-$28 dollars


-Brush dry stains off with a soft nylon brush.
-Blot wet stains with an absorbent cloth or polyester sponge.
-Remove common dirt or stains with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Use a soft brush if necessary to loosen dirt from crevices. Rinse with clean water, and dry with a lint-free cloth.

Olefin has excellent chemical resistance to acids and alkalis,

process and inexpensive compared to other synthetic fibers. Its low moisture absorption helps aid the quick transport of moisture.
