What is Microfiber?
A microfiber is defined as a fiber (including staple fibers and filaments) of linear density approximately 1 dtex or less, and above 0.3 dtex. Microfibres find their use in air filters, dust wipes, etc., because of their high surface area as compared to normal fibers. Microfibers are half the diameter of a fine silk fiber, one-third the diameter of cotton, one-quarter the diameter of fine wool and one hundred times finer than human hair. Even finer fibers are produced, of 0.3 dtex or less, but these are commonly referred to as super-microfibers.
