85% POLYESTER 15% SPANDEX ROYAL BLUE SINGLE JERSEY FABRIC

HT1511

Royal Blue Single Jersey Fabric (85% Polyester, 15% Spandex)

This Royal Blue Single Jersey Fabric is a heavyweight knitted textile engineered for performance and durability. Constructed with a blend of 85% Polyester and 15% Spandex, it offers a balance of structural integrity and multi-directional elasticity. With a weight of 305 GSM and a usable width of 150 CM, the fabric provides significant opacity and a substantial hand-feel, making it suitable for compression wear and high-density athletic apparel. The single jersey knit technique ensures a smooth surface texture on the face side, optimized for consistent dye penetration and vibrant color retention.

Technical Specifications

Core Characteristics

• High-Density Construction: The 305 GSM weight ensures the fabric remains non-see-through even when fully stretched.
• Four-Way Stretch: The 15% Spandex content allows for extensive elongation and recovery, maintaining garment shape over repeated use.
• Moisture Management: Polyester fibers facilitate the transport of moisture away from the skin to the fabric surface for evaporation.
• Dimensional Stability: Resistance to shrinking and wrinkling due to the synthetic fiber composition and heat-setting processes.

Primary Application Scenarios

• Performance Sportswear: Compression leggings, athletic tops, and cycling jerseys.
• Activewear: High-impact yoga pants, gym shorts, and supportive sports bras.
• Dance and Stage Wear: Leotards and synchronized performance outfits requiring precise fit.
• Athleisure: Form-fitting casual wear and base layers.

Maintenance and Storage Guidelines

• Laundering: Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the elasticity of Spandex fibers.
• Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry in the shade to prevent thermal degradation of the elastane.
• Ironing: Use a low temperature setting if necessary. Direct high heat can cause fiber melting or loss of stretch.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV exposure to prevent color fading and fiber brittleness.

Technical Notes

Due to the high Spandex ratio, it is recommended to use ballpoint needles during the sewing process to prevent fiber breakage or skipped stitches. This fabric is compatible with sublimation printing and heat transfer applications, provided the temperature settings are calibrated for polyester-spandex blends.
