Visual and tactile impressions

Ranforce fabric appeared on the market a couple of years ago, so it is not known to all specialists. Some of them claim that the sonorous name is a marketing technique by Turkish manufacturers to popularize ordinary cotton material.

However, textiles differ from other types of fabrics in a number of features. First of all, raw materials. The fabric is made from high-quality long-staple cotton varieties.

Bed linen made from ranfors is visually similar to products made from high-quality satin or poplin. It has the same smooth, matte shiny surface. The products are pleasant to the touch: soft, without snags or protruding knots.

Compound

Compared to regular calico, Turkish fabric is thinner, more delicate and stronger. The better the cotton raw material is cleaned, the better the quality of the fabric. It does not shrink, is not subject to shedding or fading. Ranfors threads are intertwined according to the same principle as in calico or poplin. This provides high strength. Unlike calico, ranfors fabric contains 10-20 more threads per square centimeter.

Ranfors has the same thickness of warp threads, which is why it is also called equal-density calico. Since these textiles are cleaned many times, they are classified as high-quality premium fabrics. If ranfors was originally made in Turkey, now it is produced in many countries. Detailed information about the product can be found on the label. If the product is certified, it will last a long time.

Physical properties

The tactile and visual sensations of ranfors are largely related to the characteristics of the fabric. Physical characteristics differ from other types of cotton textiles:

• the thinness of the fabric is achieved through the use of well-cleaned, sanded fibers;
• high twist thread: 3 times stronger than calico yarn;
• density – from 120 g/m2.

Reference. Ranfors is created by satin weave of threads. Due to this, bedding sets are characterized by increased wear resistance: they are wiped less and last longer.

Ranfors - what kind of bed linen fabric is it?

In the production of ranfors, high-quality natural yarn is used, to which are added threads of long-staple cotton grown in Egypt. The fibers are thoroughly combed out, thoroughly polished and subject to intensive twisting. Basically, manufacturers use only natural fibers, but, in accordance with international standards, up to 20% polyester threads are allowed in the fabric.

The fabric is made using a simple plain weave of threads, with the warp and weft threads alternating in a checkerboard pattern. The smoothness of the material is ensured by the tight fit of the threads to each other.

The front and back sides of the material are identical with a smooth matte surface. Subsequently, the fabric can be mercerized, as a result of which it becomes silky and shiny.

Pros and cons of kits

Ranfors bedding sets are deservedly popular. Advantages that attract consumers:

1. Softness and comfort: the products do not prick and do not irritate the skin.
2. Attractive appearance: the linen wrinkles little, so it looks neat.
3. High level of thermoregulation: ranfors adapts to body temperature and does not create a greenhouse effect.
4. Bed linen does not electrify and does not irritate the skin.
5. Hyperallergenic: cotton bedding is safe for people with hypersensitivity.
6. Breathability: CPB provides oxygen access to the body, improving skin respiration and sleep quality.
7. Hygroscopicity: bed linen perfectly absorbs moisture.
8. Shape stability: the sets do not deform after washing and ironing, do not shrink or stretch.

As for the downsides, bedding sets have few of them. The claims are mainly related to the dishonesty of some fabric manufacturers, who allow the use of low-quality threads or crooked stitches.

General properties of materials

Ranfors and satin are 100% cotton fabrics , and they have many common properties:

• They are hygroscopic : a sleeping person will not sweat; there is no “greenhouse effect” - products made from them absorb moisture, up to 20% of their own weight.
• These are natural materials , do not cause allergies, do not accumulate static electricity, and are breathable - they allow air to pass through perfectly.
• They are durable, warm and pleasant to the skin, do not fade, do not form pills, can withstand up to 250-300 washes without losing their appearance, are easy to iron, and are excellent for children's underwear.
• Due to the density, any designs can be easily applied to textiles; they turn out bright, with clear boundaries.
• They support thermoregulation well: they retain heat in winter and prevent overheating in hot weather.

How to care

Bed linen in everyday life does not cause difficulties, since ranfors is one of the most undemanding materials. Before first use, you should read the care instructions, as some fabric manufacturers include artificial or synthetic fibers.

General rules for caring for bedding sets made from 100% ranfors:

1. Wash at 40-60 °C.
2. In case of heavy soiling, it is recommended to pre-soak the bedding set in a warm soapy solution for 30-60 minutes. If necessary, change the water to clean water.
3. To whiten ranfors, use products based on active oxygen. Do not use chlorine-containing preparations, as they corrode the fibers.
4. If ranfors bed linen has dried flat, then it is not necessary to iron it, since the material hardly wrinkles. Iron strong folds and creases using the “cotton” setting.

Care Tips

The practical ranfors is easy to clean from dirt. Compliance with the rules of care will prolong the initial attractiveness of the products:

• There are no strict restrictions on setting the temperature when machine washing. Withstands water heating up to 60°. However, even stubborn stains can be treated at 40°;
• use liquid detergents. Powdered abrasive components negatively affect the structure of the fibers;
• Avoid chlorine-containing bleaches. The aggressive environment “corrodes” the threads, reducing strength. The color becomes faded;
• it is permissible to press at any speed;
• dry in a well-ventilated room. Straighten wet items and hang them on a clothesline or dryer;
• Ironing is optional. The fabric holds its shape well. If ironing is unavoidable, no additional protective equipment is required. The surface of the fabric does not stick to the soleplate of the iron.

Important! Manufacturers indicate care instructions on each product. Be sure to read the label before processing.

Tips for choosing PBC from this fabric

Ranfors bed linen is not inferior in quality to high-quality satin; it looks elegant and beautiful. No wonder it is often counterfeited. You can recognize a counterfeit by its unreasonably low cost, lack of labels, or information about the manufacturer. In addition, the strong shine of the fabric (it is inherent in synthetic materials) and the low density of the fabric should alert you.

For the rest, you need to focus on:

• composition: real ranfors is made of 100% cotton. But often fabric manufacturers introduce polyester. Because of this, people with a tendency to allergies may have difficulty feeling well. It is also possible that the laundry will become electrified and pellets will form on the surface.
• manufacturer: since ranfors is considered Turkish cotton, bedding sets from this country should be preferred. As for Chinese suppliers, it is better to choose kits sewn in factories.

It is equally important to correctly determine the size of the products included in the set. Each of them has two pillowcases 70 x 70 or 50 x 70 cm.
