Warp knitting is a combination of weaving methods in which the yarn twists and turns along the length of the fabric; Follow adjacent columns or rows instead of single or horizontal columns. For comparison, knitting that spans the width of the fabric is called weft knitting.
Due to the requirement of warp knitting that the number of individual strands or strands is equal to the number of stitches in a row, warp knitted fabrics are almost always completed by a warp knitting machine, rather than by hand.
The production of textiles through warp knitting technology has the following advantages: higher productivity than weaving, multiple fabric structures, large working width, low stress rate on yarn, allowing the use of fibers such as glass, aromatic polyamide, and carbon fiber, and three-dimensional structure can be woven on a double needle bed Raschel.
Applications: Warp knitted fabrics have various industrial uses, including producing mosquito nets, gauze fabrics, sportswear, shoe fabrics, printing and advertising fabrics, coating substrates, and composite backgrounds. We are also researching the use of warp knitted fabrics for industrial applications such as strengthening concrete and for the production of biomaterials.
