88% Polyester, 12% Spandex MULTI-COLOR LIGHT FABRIC

KF000701

Multi-Color Light Fabric (88% Polyester, 12% Spandex)

This Multi-Color Light Fabric is a versatile textile solution developed for high-performance apparel and digital printing applications. Constructed from a blend of 88% Polyester and 12% Spandex, the material provides a lightweight profile with a density of 180 GSM. The specific fiber ratio ensures multi-directional stretch and structural recovery, while the 152 CM width optimizes yield during garment cutting. This fabric is specifically designed to accommodate complex multi-color patterns, maintaining color clarity and saturation across its smooth surface. The polyester-base ensures rapid moisture wicking, making it suitable for active environments where weight and breathability are critical factors.

Technical Specifications

Core Characteristics

• High-Elasticity Recovery: The 12% Spandex content allows the fabric to elongate and return to its original shape, reducing the risk of garment bagging or sagging.
• Enhanced Print Surface: The fine-gauge knit structure provides a consistent, flat surface for high-resolution digital sublimation and heat transfer printing.
• Moisture Management: Synthetic polyester fibers facilitate the movement of perspiration to the outer layer for accelerated evaporation.
• Dimensional Stability: Resistance to shrinking and distortion during standard laundering and high-temperature printing processes.

Product Features

• Lightweight Construction: At 180 GSM, the fabric offers a balance between opacity and breathability, preventing excessive heat retention.
• Color Retention: Engineered to hold multi-colored pigments with resistance to fading from UV exposure or repeated washing.
• Smooth Hand-Feel: The fine filament yarns minimize skin irritation and provide a frictionless surface.

Application Scenarios

• Activewear: Performance t-shirts, running tops, and lightweight gym shorts.
• Custom Teamwear: Sublimated jerseys and athletic uniforms requiring specific multi-color branding.
• Athleisure: Fashionable leggings, casual tops, and base layers.
• Accessories: Printed headbands, neck gaiters, and arm sleeves.

Maintenance and Storage Guidelines

• Laundering: Machine wash with cold water. Use mild detergents and avoid products containing chlorine bleach.
• Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a machine, select a low-temperature tumble cycle to preserve the spandex filaments.
• Ironing: Use a low-heat setting only. Excessive heat may cause fiber melting or alter the visual clarity of printed patterns.
• Storage: Store rolls in a horizontal position in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent potential color migration in multi-colored designs.

Technical Recommendations

For optimal results in garment production, it is recommended to use micro-ballpoint needles and stretch-compatible threads. When performing sublimation printing, ensure the tension is calibrated to prevent "ghosting" or pattern distortion across the elastic surface.
