Application of Warp Knitting Technology in Plush fabric

The application of warp knitting technology in pile fabrics is primarily evident in the production of warp-knitted terry fabrics and faux suede fabrics. Through specialised processes, it achieves uniform pile distribution and a soft tactile feel, finding extensive use in apparel, home furnishings, and automotive interiors.

Warp-Knitted Terry Fabrics

Characteristics: Stable terry loops with dense, uniform pile, offering elasticity, moisture absorption, and thermal insulation.

Applications: Sportswear, casual wear, sleepwear, children's apparel and toys, home décor items.

Process: Woven from polyester or nylon filament yarns; loops are sheared to form the pile, with some products exhibiting a velvet-like effect.

Imitation Suede Fabric

Characteristics: Short, dense, uniform, and even surface pile mimicking natural suede texture; resistant to sunlight and abrasion.

Applications: Automotive interiors (e.g., seats, door panels), premium apparel, and home furnishings. ‌

Processing:

Raw Materials: Combination of ultra-fine island fibres (single filament 0.05-0.08 dtex) and semi-dull polyester FDY. ‌

Key Steps: Napping: Raising pile using a needle-cloth napping machine. ‌

Fibre opening: Alkaline solution treatment dissolves sea-island component to enhance softness. ‌

Dyeing: Requires specialised microfibre dyes to ensure colourfastness. ‌

Other applications

Eco-friendly velour: Utilises 100% recycled polyester, certified to ISO9001 and GRS, suitable for diverse apparel and home textile applications. ‌
