Application Fit and Performance
Our polyester sports fabrics are engineered for performance. The grid knit structure provides mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for high-intensity activities and frequent washing. The microfiber hexagon fabric offers a softer touch and enhanced moisture transport, ideal for base layers and fitted garments.
Typical end uses include:
- Sports jerseys and team uniforms
- Training tops, leggings, and shorts
- Outdoor jackets and windbreakers
- Sports shoe uppers and linings
- Casual activewear and athleisure
Material and Construction
We use 100% polyester filament yarns, selected for their strength, elasticity, and colorfastness. Our circular knitting process ensures uniform stitch density and consistent fabric weight. We offer both textured and flat yarns to achieve different surface effects and hand feels.
For moisture management, we can apply hydrophilic finishes that improve wicking and drying. For outdoor applications, we can add UV protection or water-repellent treatments. All finishes are chosen based on your performance targets and end-use environment.
Critical Specifications and Quality Control
We control the following parameters to ensure your fabric meets specification:
- Weight tolerance: ±3% of target g/m²
- Width tolerance: ±2 cm
- Color fastness: rated 4-5 for washing, perspiration, and light
- Shrinkage: ≤3% after washing
- Pilling resistance: tested per ASTM or ISO methods
Every batch undergoes inspection during knitting, dyeing, and finishing. Final rolls are inspected on a 100% basis for defects such as holes, stains, or uneven dyeing. We provide test reports upon request.
Customization and Configuration
We understand that each customer has unique requirements. Our customization options include:
- Weight adjustment from 115 to 165 g/m²
- Width selection from 150 to 200 cm
- Color matching to Pantone or customer swatches
- Finishing: anti-pilling, moisture-wicking, softener, or water-repellent
- Packing: rolls with plastic bags, or as per your specification
We can also develop new structures based on your design or performance needs. Our R&D team works with you to create a fabric that meets your exact application.
