Versatile textiles for the clothing industry
Wovens consist of interlaced threads at right angles; the weaving technology and threads used for warp and weft are responsible for the characteristics of the textile. The most famous and frequent types of bonding are plain weave and twill. Plain weave is characterized by a homogenous structure and a smooth surface. Twill weave has a more open structure and is softer and more voluminous than plain weave. By using different types of threads both technologies can be “defined“ for specific application fields.
Wovens from polyester and polyamide, yarns or texturized multifilaments
These wovens offer a defined degree of elasticity in cross or length direction and are generally fused with outer fabrics that are also elastic. Most of these elastic wovens are made from texturized multifilaments. Besides, bi-elastic textiles are in high demand: generally the elasticity in weft direction is clear higher than in warp direction. The benefit of these wovens: when fused with other materials they are very adaptable. By adding further production steps wovens can be used in a broad range of applications, from classic menswear to light, trendy ladies wear.
