To date, the most affordable for creating clothing are synthetic materials. True, some prefer to replace them with natural ones. In fact, the current synthetics are of high quality - all this is due to the use of the latest technologies for its production. So, for sewing street clothes, craftsmen often resort to dyuspo fabric - high-quality, durable, reliable.
Description
Dewspo ("Duspo") - comes from the English words "dew" and "polymer", in addition, this fabric has a second name that must be remembered so as not to be confused in the subsequent choice - "poly ponge".
The material is also called jacket - this feature allows you to immediately understand the true purpose. For its production, a special method of plain weaving of polyamide yarns is used. The finished product has a high density, in addition, it does not undergo rapid wear, and is resistant to various damage. Importantly, the duspo is very pleasant to the touch.
The density of the fabric is determined by the following characters - 240 t (tex) - this is the highest indicator, allowing duspo to be called one of the most dense materials for sewing outerwear.
By the way, you should know that tex is the number of threads in 1 square inch of the surface.
However, density is affected not only by the weaving method. Properties such as moisture resistance, water repellency and air exchange are especially impregnated with polymers.
The duspo canvas is lightweight in its structure, resistant to repeated bends / jams and that is why it can be safely used to perform complex patterns.
Duspo outerwear is very practical and easy to care for - even after repeated washing, the fabric color remains in its original form. It does not get wet, does not blow out, withstands frosts, does not fade in the sun.
In addition to everything, it perfectly passes air, retaining the necessary heat, which is called air exchange.
Types and characteristics
On finished products from this fabric, you can find a tag with a special marking - so manufacturers mark the kind of duspo used for this product.
- Milky. The fabric from the inside is impregnated with a white water-repellent layer. Differs in smoothness, light shine. Not amenable to burnout, molting. Ensures the integrity of down filler in jackets / down jackets - special impregnation does not allow fluff to crawl through the seams.
- Bonding. To obtain it, they connect a polymer fabric with a soft lining from knitwear, most often use fleece. It has a high degree of protection against cold and water, ahead of the properties of natural fiber fabrics.
- Peach Skin. Otherwise, “peach skin” is a special type of impregnation that makes the structure of the material velvety. Mostly sportswear or casual clothing of the highest class is sewn from it. It is durable, pleasant to the touch.
- PU. Transparent impregnation protects the fibers from getting wet, chemical exposure, as well as sweat and fat. The structure is transparent, therefore it is applied mainly on the wrong side, although it is also found on the front side of the finished product.
- Wr. It is an innovative water-repellent layer that ensures the dropping of water droplets from the surface of the jacket.
- "Ray." Thanks to this impregnation, the material becomes more rigid, and the color becomes pearlescent.
- CIRE. It gives the canvas a beautiful sheen.
- "Jacquard". So designate a textured surface.
- Punching. The use of perforation for decorative purposes - inserts, patches, pockets.
In addition to universal impregnation, the composition of the duspo has 100% synthetic polyester fibers.
The main advantages of Dewspo fabric are:
- protects from strong winds;
- perfectly passes air, not allowing the greenhouse effect to form;
- does not get wet in the rain, repelling drops of water;
- does not fade in the sun after repeated washing;
- not afraid of bends;
- soft to the touch, light in structure;
- products are strong, durable, not subject to wear.
Application and care
Duspo is the best material for making clothes for every day, outdoor activities, sports. The fabric is used to create wardrobe elements for the whole family - adults and children. Waterproof suits (ski, mountain, for a snowboard and so on) consisting of trousers and a jacket, or overalls are especially appreciated. Such clothes are great for winter sports. This also includes warm down jackets, jackets that do not lend themselves to getting wet and blowing, as well as stylish coats and raincoats for spring and autumn.
The material is quite easy to use - it is easy to cut, create various patterns, so some even sew clothes for animals from it.
Properties such as waterproof and windproof, allowed the use of duspo in the manufacture of tents for tourism and recreation. Such a fabric acts as a cushioning material placed between the insulation and the top coating of the product.
The properties of the canvas allow it to be used in the manufacture of strollers, carriages, car seats, sledges. But Dewspo with peach skin impregnation is completely used as upholstery for upholstered furniture.
Many global winter clothing brands use this particular synthetics. Due to its excellent properties, it was loved by athletes and travelers. However, such products are quite expensive, due to high quality.
Dewspo can be purchased at specialized fabric stores or ordered online. The average price per meter of fabric is up to 200 rubles. By the way, buying at retail is much more economical. Many online stores just offer such a service.
Products from this type of synthetics do not require special care.First of all, you need to find out what kind of impregnation was applied to your clothes.
It is synthetic compounds that provide unique properties to the product. Therefore, it is important to keep them in the wash process.
Care Tips
Hand and automatic washing is allowed (in the typewriter). Used slightly warm water - no more than 40 degrees. Drum drying, as well as strong spin, are not recommended and are not required, as the fabric dries quickly naturally.
- Chlorine bleaching, chemical cleaning (dry cleaning) are prohibited.
- Ironing temperature - not higher than 150 degrees.
- Some types of lining material require a special automatic / hand wash. Therefore, carefully study the labels - there are indicated all the subtleties of care.
- Do not be afraid of fading fabric - the high quality duspo does not allow clothes to fade even after repeated washing. By the way, there is a special paint that can be repainted, for example, a white jacket, while maintaining the structure of the fabric in integrity.
As it turned out, synthetics are no longer a low-quality material for sewing clothes. Today, manufacturers use the latest technology to obtain strong, resistant, reliable textures. So, duspo is one of the optimal fabrics for creating warm sports or casual wear, namely: down jackets, jackets, waterproof suits, overalls. Such clothes are designed to protect us from frost, wind and moisture.
