Mesh fabrics generally have two composition methods, one is knitted and the other is carded and woven. Among them, knitted warp-knitted mesh fabric has the tightest structure and the most stable state. The so-called warp knitted mesh fabric is a fabric with mesh-shaped holes.
Weaving Principles
There are generally two methods of weaving woven mesh fabric: one is to use two sets of warp yarns (ground warp and twisted warp), which are twisted with each other to form a shed and interwoven with the weft yarn. Twisting warp is to use a special twisted heddle (also called half heddle) to twist on the left side of the ground warp. After one (or three or five) picks, it is twisted to the right side of the ground warp. The mesh-shaped holes formed by the interweaving of skeins and weft yarns have a stable structure and are called lenos; the other is to use a variation of the jacquard weave or reed method. The warp yarns are grouped into a group of three and passed through a reed tooth, which can also be woven. It is a fabric with small holes on the surface, but the mesh structure is unstable and easy to move, so it is also called fake leno.
Fabric characteristics
Warp knitted mesh fabric has a unique double mesh design on the surface and a unique structure in the middle (like Three-dimensional elastic support structure), which has the following characteristics:
1. It has good resilience and has a buffering and protective effect.
2. It has excellent breathability and moisture permeability. (Warp knitted mesh fabric adopts X-90° or “Z” structure, with mesh on both sides, presenting a six-sided breathable hollow three-dimensional structure. Air and water can circulate freely, forming a moist and hot microcirculation air layer.)
3. Light texture and easy to wash.
4. Good softness and wear resistance
5. Diversified mesh and fashionable style. Mesh shapes are diverse, including triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, hexagons, columns, etc. Through the distribution of mesh, pattern effects such as straight bars, horizontal bars, squares, diamonds, chain links, and ripples can be presented.
Fabric Classification
- Raschel mesh
Warp knitted stretch mesh It is the most important product on elastic warp knitting machines, such as elastic hexagonal mesh, rhombus elastic mesh, jonestine, etc. It is generally interwoven with spandex and nylon. The spandex content exceeds 10% and is extremely elastic. It is often used for strong restraint and body modification. clothing.
2. Trico mesh
Produced on HKS series machines, mesh products are produced on Trico warp knitting machines. The mesh structure of the mesh fabric woven by the tricot warp knitting machine is generally symmetrical to the left and right or symmetrical to the left and right, up and down. When weaving, the same yarn threading and symmetrical yarn placement are performed between every two bars. It has a certain degree of extensibility and elasticity, and has the characteristics of a loose structure, good air permeability and light transmittance. It is widely used for sewing mosquito nets, curtains, lace, etc.
Fabric Application
When making clothing, warp-knitted mesh fabric is also made through skilled It is realized by cutting, sewing and auxiliary processing. Firstly, the warp-knitted mesh fabric has sufficient gaps and has good moisture conduction, breathability and temperature regulation functions; secondly, it has wide adaptability to raw materials and can be made soft and has a certain elasticity. Clothes; finally, it has good surface properties, good dimensional stability, and extremely high seam breaking strength; it can be used as linings and fabrics for special clothing, and warp-knitted spacer fabrics can also be used to produce safety vests.
Warp knitted mesh fabric has good warmth retention, moisture absorption and quick drying properties. At present, some of the main applications of warp-knitted mesh fabrics in leisure sports include: sports shoes, swimsuits, diving suits, sports protective clothing, etc.
Used for sewing mosquito nets, curtains, lace; elastic bandages of various shapes for medical use; military antennas and camouflage nets, etc.
