80%-Nylon 20%-Elastane Weight-185 G/M2 Width-150cm ZEBRA PRINT JERSEY FABRIC

YT386

The Zebra Print Jersey Fabric is a high-performance technical textile engineered for the sustainable apparel market. Composed of an 80% Nylon and 20% Elastane blend, this warp-knitted material provides a balanced combination of four-way stretch and dimensional recovery. With a standardized weight of 185 g/m² and a usable width of 150 cm, the fabric offers the structural density required for compression garments while maintaining breathability. The zebra pattern is applied using precision printing techniques that ensure color fastness and pattern integrity even when the material is subjected to significant elongation during physical activity.

Core Technical Advantages

• Mechanical Elasticity: The 20% Elastane content allows for high-modulus stretch, ensuring the garment conforms to anatomical contours without restricting movement.
• Moisture Management: The Nylon-based construction facilitates rapid moisture transport away from the skin, assisting in thermal regulation during high-intensity sports.
• Durability and Recovery: Engineered to resist fiber fatigue, the fabric maintains its original shape after repeated expansion and contraction cycles.
• Surface Smoothness: The fine-gauge jersey knit reduces friction against the skin, minimizing the risk of chafing in activewear and underwear applications.

Detailed Product Features

Primary Application Fields

This fabric is specifically calibrated for industries requiring functional textiles with aesthetic versatility:

• Swimwear: Resistance to chlorine and saltwater environments makes it suitable for competitive and leisure swimwear.
• Activewear and Yoga Wear: The opacity and stretch-and-recovery properties support the physical requirements of yoga wear and pilates apparel.
• Team Sports Wear: Provides the necessary durability for high-impact team sports wear and outdoor athletic training gear.
• Intimate Apparel: The soft hand-feel and 80/20 blend provide the comfort levels required for underwear and base layer production.

Handling and Care Instructions

Storage Protocols

The Zebra Print Jersey Fabric should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct UV exposure to prevent pigment degradation. To avoid permanent creasing or distortion of the elastane fibers, fabric rolls should be stored horizontally and should not be subjected to excessive vertical pressure.

Usage Considerations

• Cutting Process: Ensure the fabric is tension-free for at least 24 hours before die-cutting to allow the fibers to relax.
• Sewing Recommendations: Use ballpoint needles and stretch-compliant threads (such as textured polyester) to prevent seam cracking or fiber damage.
• Chemical Exposure: Avoid the use of chlorine-based bleaches during the laundering process, as this can degrade the Elastane polymer structure and reduce elasticity.
