Stretch fabrics are a common type of textiles in life. Popular mechanical stretch fabrics include weft and four-way stretches of polyester and nylon, such as polyester-cotton interwoven stretch fabrics, brocade viscose warp stretch grosgrain fabrics, etc. With the popularity of man-made fibers, stretch fabrics such as rayon are also widely popular. In recent years, other new fabrics have also been circulating on the market. It can be said that stretch fabrics occupy half of the fabric industry.
The combination of raw materials is infinitely varied, and the scenarios to which it is applied are also very wide. What are the classification standards for elastic fabrics? First of all, it depends on the direction of elasticity, mainly weft elastic, warps the elastic and four-way elastic. The second is to look at the elastic properties. The elastic fabric can be divided into three types: weft elastic, warp elastic and four-way elastic in the direction of elasticity. These three stretch fabrics can be found everywhere. Of course, what kind of elasticity is made depends on the difficulty of the craftsmanship and the cost-effectiveness. For example, warp elastic brocade grosgrain is far better than weft elastic in terms of cost and elastic effect, but many other elastic fabrics are weft elastic to save cost, and the craftsmanship will be less difficult. Therefore, the design and development of elastic fabrics should pay attention to scientific rationality. The elastic properties are also easy to understand. The elasticity of general elastic fabrics is due to the inclusion of spandex yarns. Good spandex yarns will have very good stretchability, which is very suitable for leisure, bodybuilding, and sportswear. However, spandex will affect colorfastness and other internal indicators, so spandex-free stretch fabrics have been popularized in recent years, and polyester T400 is common. However, elastic fabrics without spandex tend to have average elasticity, and the advantages are good stability and high colorfastness.
