What is a four-way stretch? For fabrics, fabrics that have elasticity in the warp and weft directions are called four-way stretch. Because the warp has the up and down direction and the weft has the left and right direction, it is called four-way elastic. Everyone has their own customary name for the four-sided elastic. The four-way elastic fabric is very rich, covering a lot of ingredients and styles, and the texture of the texture is also various. The following is a brief description.
The conventional one is polyester four-way stretch. Polyester four-way stretch is widely popular because of its low price. Like ordinary single-layer plain weave and twill four-way stretch, it has been a common four-way stretch fabric for many years. However, the single-layer polyester four-way elastic is cheap and low-grade, and is only popular in the low-end market. Therefore, in the past two years, high-end polyester four-way elastics have been developed, such as yarns using composite filaments, using double-layer weave or changing weave, and strive to make a fuss about innovation and continue to use space.
Nylon four-sided elastic (also called nylon four-sided elastic) is also a relatively common four-sided elastic fabric. In the past two years, it has been developed in two directions, one is ultra-thin and the other is ultra-thick. Ultra-thin ones are only about 40 grams, such as 20D+20D*20D+20D plain weave nylon four-way elastics, suitable for all kinds of women's clothing in spring and summer; ultra-thick ones are developing towards double-layer nylon four-way elastics, with a weight of 220-300 grams. There are in development, suitable for autumn and winter. T/R 4-way stretch fabric is also a relatively traditional and conventional 4-way stretch fabric. The market is also relatively large, and it even forms its own system. The market is relatively mature, from single-layer to double-layer, from thin to thick, and the categories are very rich.
T/R four-way elastic has a wool-like effect, looks more high-end, and is comfortable, so it has been durable for many years.
All-cotton four-way elastic is also a good type of four-way elastic fabric, but limited by raw materials and technical level, it is not very common, and it is expensive and not widely used. Interwoven four-way stretch is not a very common fabric.
At present, nylon-cotton four-way elastics are being developed and applied, and cotton-nylon four-way elastics are even rarer. I think the main reason is the cost-effectiveness factor.
Other 4-way stretch fabrics, such as viscose-cotton 4-way stretch, wool-polyester 4-way stretch and other blended 4-way stretch fabrics, have strong properties and are developed, produced and supplied in the field and do not belong to the conventional category.
Advantages of four-way elastic: The main feature is its good elasticity. After wearing clothes made of this fabric, there will be no sense of restraint and more freedom of movement. It will be used more in women's clothing, sports suits and leggings. Wear-resistant and not easy to leave wrinkles, and the price will be cheaper than cotton, which belongs to a class of fabrics with high cost performance.
Disadvantages of four-sided elastic: its main defect is relatively general color fastness, and the dark-colored four-sided elastic is prone to fading after washing, which in turn affects the appearance and quality of the clothes.
