Spacer Fabric is a fabric with a three-dimensional structure, consisting of two layers of surface fabric and a middle connecting wire (also called spacer wire or support wire). The spacer structure in the middle gives it a "sandwich" effect, so it is also called sandwich fabric, which is widely used in sports, medical, automobiles, mattresses and other fields.
🔧 Structural composition:
Upper fabric (surface): usually knitted or woven structure, used for direct contact with the skin, emphasizing comfort and skin-friendliness;
Lower fabric (bottom layer): generally plays a supporting role;
Middle connecting wire (spacer wire): connects the upper and lower layers, usually polyester (PET) monofilament, to form a certain thickness and elastic space.
01
Good breathability
The gap structure in the middle allows air circulation, keeping you cool and not stuffy
02
Strong elasticity and cushioning
The middle connecting wire is like a spring structure, which has a shock-absorbing and buffering effect.
03
Quick-drying, sweat-wicking, good resilience
Easy to wick away sweat, no water retention, suitable for sports applications, can quickly recover to its original shape after being compressed
04
Lightweight
Air layer structure makes the fabric lighter overall
