What is elastic cloth made of? ? Advantages and Disadvantages of Elastic Fabric Elastic fabric is a kind of elastic fabric. Rib fabric, also called elastic fabric, is a knitted fabric with rib structure. Because the coils are intertwined with each other, the yarn will slip when pulled by external force, so the rib fabric has greater elasticity. By adding an elastic fiber “spandex” to woven fabrics, the woven fabric is also called elastic fabric. Spandex is a very elastic fiber, but it is also relatively expensive. Adding 4%-8% spandex to woven fabrics can make the fabrics very elastic.
Ribbed tissue (commonly known as stretch fabric)
rib weave There are many types, and the numbers 1+1, 1+2, 2+2, etc. are usually used to represent the combination of the front and back coils in a complete organization. Figure 1 shows the structure of the 1+1 rib weave, which is composed of a front coil wale and a back coil wale arranged alternately. If one front coil wale and two back coil wales are arranged alternately, it forms a 1+2 rib weave, and so on.
By There are many composite structures derived from rib tissue, mainly including rib air layer tissue and dot texture. The rib air layer structure is composed of rib structure and flat needle structure. This kind of tissue has less lateral extensibility, better dimensional stability, and has the advantages of being thick and smooth. The dotted texture is composed of incomplete rib tissue and incomplete flat stitch tissue. According to the arrangement order of the two coils in a complete organization, there are Swiss style and French style. The Swiss-style dotted structure has a tight structure, small extensibility and good dimensional stability. The French dotted texture has the characteristics of clear longitudinal lines of coils, plump surface, and large width. Both tissues are widely used in the production of knitted outerwear.
