Abstract

The present invention relates to a heat-storing and retaining fleece using a polyester yarn containing composite metal oxide particles. The heat-storing and retaining fleece of the present invention exhibits an excellent far-infrared emission property, an excellent heat-storing and retaining property, excellent spinning processability, and excellent dyeability.

Claims (7)

1. A heat-storing and retaining fleece configured to have a fleece texture in which a pile yarn whose loop is fixed to a ground yarn is napped, wherein the pile yarn includes a polyester yarn, and the ground yarn contains a polyester fiber containing, based on a weight of the ground yarn, 0.05-3.0 wt % of composite metal oxide particles comprised of 0.02-0.35 wt % of WO 3 , 0.01-0.15 wt % of Cs 2 O and 0.02-2.5 wt % of TiO 2 ;

the heat-storing and retaining fleece exhibits a heat-storing and retaining property of 1.5° C. or higher, wherein the heat-storing and retaining property is a temperature difference between the heat-storing and retaining fleece and a reference fleece prepared by the same method as said heat-storing and retaining fleece except for the absence of the composite metal oxide particles at a time point measured in a lamp test employing a 500 watt light source at a distance of 50 cm from the fabric samples while measuring and recording the temperature increase for 15 minutes starting from 20° C., and

the ground yarn has a cross-sectional shape including a hollow portion.

2. The heat-storing and retaining fleece of claim 1 , wherein the composite metal oxide particles have an average particle size in a range of 0.05-2.0 μm, and a ratio of a number of particles having an average particle size in a range of 0.05-0.1 μm to a total number of the particles in the ground yarn is 50-65%.

3. The heat-storing and retaining fleece of claim 1 , wherein the ground yarn containing the composite metal oxide particles has a yarn section including a hollow portion, and has a hollow ratio of 10-40%.

4. The heat-storing and retaining fleece of claim 3 , wherein the ground yarn is a yarn spun through a spinning nozzle having a sectional shape that enables the ground yarn to have the cross-sectional shape which is a cruciform, circular, semicircular, oval, C, D, sheath-core type, or crossbar shape.

5. Cold weather protective clothing manufactured using the heat-storing and retaining fleece of claim 1 .
