Do stretch fabrics return to their original shape quickly after being stretched?
The reasons and characteristics of stretch fabrics that can quickly return to their original state after stretching are introduced as follows:
▸Containing stretch fabrics
stretch fabrics are usually mixed with stretch fabrics such as spandex (also known as Lycra or Spandex), which have excellent resilience and are the key to quickly restoring the shape of the fabric.
▸Fabric structure has strong stretchity
The molecular chains of stretch fabrics themselves can stretch during stretching and quickly retract after stretching, ensuring that the fabric can quickly return to its original state.
▸Fabric structure design
Knitted stretch fabric increases its stretchity and resilience through a special weaving structure. After stretching, the fabric structure can automatically recover, enhancing the rebound speed.
▸Limited stretchity range
stretch fabrics have their stretch limits and can quickly recover within the allowable stretch range of the fabric; If excessively stretched beyond the limit, it may lead to slower deformation recovery or even permanent deformation.
▸The influence of fabric thickness and fabric ratio
The higher the content of stretch fabrics in the fabric and the thinner the fabric, the faster the recovery speed is usually; On the contrary, fabrics that are thicker or have less stretch fabric content will recover relatively slowly.
▸Durability is related to the usage environment
After repeated stretching and washing, the performance of stretch fabrics may slightly decrease, and the speed and ability of fabric recovery may be weakened.
▸Suitable for sports and tight fitting clothing
Due to its ability to quickly restore its original state, stretch fabric is very suitable for sportswear, yoga clothes, underwear, etc. that require frequent stretching and free movement.
