3D Knitted Material

3D Knitted Material (Swing Net^®)

Functional cushioning materials

This is 3D knitted material produced using a double raschel machine. Knitted in a three-layered structure with mono-filament yarns connecting base fabrics (knitted fabrics) on the front and back, this material features a 3D structure. Changing the thickness, number, and angle of mono-filament yarns, changing the mesh weave structure of the front and back fabrics, and changing the kind of yarn all enable this knitted material to display various functional properties suitable for different applications. Applications of the 3D knitted material are expanding mainly in the field of cushioning materials.

Features

Cushioning characteristic

Using a thick filament yarn as a connecting yarn helps maintain a 3D structure, with the spring effect of the yarn providing an excellent cushioning characteristic.
Air permeability

Changing the size of the mesh in the base fabrics allows adequate air permeability to be maintained; this alleviates stuffiness and provides coziness when sitting.
Body pressure dispersing characteristic

Compared with ordinary cushioning materials, these textiles are characterized by the feature of dispersing pressure in areas where pressure concentrates, substantially reducing the feeling of tiredness during long-time use.
Expansion-contraction stability

The knitted weave structure produced by a double raschel machine results in excellent expansion-contraction stability.
Durability/Price

As a cushion-structured body, this product excels in repeated compression and tensile characteristics; it also excels in chemical resistance, launderability, and weatherability, helping suppress operating costs.
