Warp-knitted spacer fabrics consist of a top
surface, a bottom side and a pile yarn layer
in between – three elements which can be
shaped in most variable forms. Whilst the
design of the cover faces is determined by
selecting the appropriate stitch densities,
the space in the textile is determined by the
laying angle and by the density of the pile
yarns. The outstanding variety achieved in
this way is not only decisive for the appearance
of the article but also for the specific
properties of the textile spacer fabrics.
Climatic regulation
• High breathability
• Well-directed moisture and heat
management
• Can act as insulator and buffer for
humidity
and heat
Elasticity of compression
• Pile yarn offers excellent padding
properties
• Efficient relief for bearing loads due to
large contact surface
Stretching ability
• Well-directed setting of elasticity in
longitudinal
and cross-wise directions
Design potential
• Multifaceted surface patternings and 3D
structures
• Low volume weight and possibility of
function
integration
In short: all these aspects turn warp-knitted
spacers into a futuristic material which can
already be used here and now.
