Weaving principle

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

With its unique double mesh design on the surface and unique structure in the middle (like It has the following characteristics:

1. It has good resilience and has buffering and protective effects.

2. 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. Mesh diversity, fashionable style. Mesh shapes are diverse, including triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, hexagons, columns, etc. Through the distribution of mesh, pattern effec

Fabric classification

① Raschel mesh

Warp knitted elastic mesh is the most important product on elastic social warp knitting machines,

such as elastic hexagonal mesh, diamond elastic mesh, jonestine, etc. It is generally interwoven with spandex roots and nylon.

The spandex content exceeds 10% and has extremely strong elasticity.

It is often used as a strong Clothing for restraint and body correction.

②Trico 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 realized through skilled cutting, sewing and auxiliary processing. First of all, warp-knitted mesh fabric has sufficient gaps and has good moisture conduction, breathability, and temperature regulation functions; secondly, it has good effects on raw materials. It has a wide range of adaptability and can be made into soft and elastic clothes; finally it has good surface properties, good dimensional stability, and extremely high seam breaking strength; it can also be used as linings and fabrics for special clothing, and warp-knitted spacer fabrics. 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.
