Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile technology, and in particular to a honeycomb air layer fabric. Background Technology
[0002] Air-layer knitted fabric refers to double-knitted fabric containing air gaps, also known as scuba knit. Through fabric structure design, two plain weave fabrics are connected using a tuck loop method, creating a middle layer of approximately 1-2mm in thickness. This middle layer typically uses finer, more elastic synthetic filaments or pure cotton yarn, and contains a significant amount of air gaps.
[0003] Air-layer fabrics have a smooth surface, a soft and smooth lining, are skin-friendly and comfortable, crisp and stylish, and lightweight yet warm. Although air-layer fabrics are relatively thick, they have many gaps in the fabric, so their weight is not high. The air layer insulates the heat exchange between the inside and outside of the fabric, preventing heat loss from the inner side of the body and blocking the entry of cold air from the outside. Air-layer fabrics are made of materials such as pure cotton and polyester. The disadvantages of air-layer fabrics are mainly related to the performance of their fiber composition. Pure cotton air-layer knitted fabrics have poor dimensional stability and are prone to deformation and wrinkling. Polyester air-layer knitted fabrics have poor breathability, can feel stuffy, are not as soft and comfortable as pure cotton air-layer fabrics, and are also prone to snagging and difficult to wash and maintain.
