All-Polyester Cationic Three Red is made from 100% cationic polyester yarn, dyed using cationic three-red dyes (or three-red yarn combination technology), and processed with specialized weaving and finishing. The key feature is the combination of cationic-modified polyester and the three-red color system, offering vibrant color, high colorfastness, abrasion resistance, and wrinkle resistance, suitable for apparel, home textiles, and industrial fabrics.

I. Core Definition and Material Characteristics

1. Basic Definition

• All-Polyester Cationic: Polyester molecular chains are modified with cationic groups, allowing stable bonding with cationic dyes. Dyeing can be done at room temperature and pressure, producing richer, fuller colors.

• Three Red: Two common forms:

1. Using three different cationic red dyes (e.g., Cationic Red 3R, Red GTL, Red X-5GN) in a single bath to create layered red shades.

2. Three-red yarn combination: three red cationic yarns are woven with other yarns in cycles, producing a textured three-red effect.

2. Material and Yarn Properties

• Raw material: 100% cationic polyester yarn, common counts 20-32s, single filament 1-3 denier, strength ≥3.8 cN/dtex, elongation 25-35%, abrasion- and wrinkle-resistant, shrinkage ≤3%.

• Cationic modification improves dye affinity, resulting in wash colorfastness ≥4, rubbing fastness 3-4, ensuring minimal fading after repeated washes. Chemically stable, resistant to weak acids and bases, and mold-free.

II. Core Process and Structural Design

1. Dyeing Process (Three Red Core)

2. Weaving and Finishing Process

• Weaving: Commonly warp knitting, weft knitting, or plain/twill weaving; needle/warp-weft density adjusted to fabric weight requirements (e.g., knit 14-18 needles, woven 80×60–120×80 threads/inch).

• Finishing: Relaxation scouring → alkali reduction (improves hand feel) → cationic three-red dyeing → reduction washing (remove floating dye) → soft setting (160-180℃), improving dimensional stability and softness.

III. Typical Specifications

IV. Core Performance Advantages

1. Outstanding Color: Three-red combination with cationic polyester delivers rich, layered red tones with high colorfastness, visually superior to regular polyester, suitable for applications requiring high color quality.

2. Durable and Easy Care: Polyester material is wrinkle- and abrasion-resistant; cationic structure resists pulling; maintains shape and avoids pilling after repeated washing, extending lifespan.

3. Quick Drying and Easy Cleaning: Hydrophobic polyester and open/plain textures enhance airflow; dries in 1-2 hours; easy to wash off stains; minimizes bacterial growth.

4. Cost-Effective: Room temperature and pressure dyeing reduces energy; three-red dye/yarn combination is mature and efficient for mass production, overall cost lower than cotton-dyed fabrics.

V. Suitable Applications

1. Apparel: Sportswear, outdoor clothing (quick-dry, abrasion-resistant), casual wear (vibrant colors), uniforms (wrinkle-resistant). Three-red shades suitable for festive or special occasions.

2. Home Textiles: Curtains, cushions, tablecloths; long-lasting color and fade-resistant, ideal for home décor.

3. Industrial Fabrics: Hotel/restaurant tablecloths, cleaning cloths; frequent washing without damage; three-red maintains neat appearance. Medical/protective fabrics (with antimicrobial treatment) resist disinfectants.

VI. Usage and Care Tips

1. Usage Warnings:

• Avoid high temperatures (≥150℃) to prevent fiber softening; do not use bleach or strong acids/alkalis.

• Wash dark fabrics separately initially to prevent color bleeding onto other items.

2. Care Methods:

• Wash: Neutral detergent, ≤40℃ water, gentle machine or hand wash, avoid vigorous scrubbing.

• Dry: Air dry in a ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight; low-temperature ironing ≤110℃ keeps fabric flat.

• Replacement Cycle: Apparel 6–12 months; home textile/industrial use 1–2 years depending on wear.
