Application of Tencel on Raschel Blanket

For excellent properties,Tencel is more and more popular in textile industry.Four kinds of raschel knitted blanket test samples were woven with the base-weave polyester yarns and velvet yarns,respectively including pure Tencel,Tencel/polyacrylonitrile,pure polyester,and pure polyacrylonitrile.The style of samples was evaluated with the ranking evaluation method,and its warmth retention,compressibility,antistatic properties and so on were tested.Fuzzy comprehensive was applied to the evaluation of comprehensiveness.The result shows that Tencel fiber can improve the appearance style of raschel blanket,and alter the thermal-wet comfort properties and antistatic properties.And the blanket fabric contained Tencel is durable and not dilapidated easily.But the raschel blanket used pure Tencel velvet yarn has poor properties.Compared with traditional raschel blanket,the blanket blended with Tencel/polyacrylonitrile improves a certain degree on comprehensive properties.So Tencel has certain value in acrylic knitted blanket.
