The popularity of swimwear fabrics has been going on for a long time. When choosing swimwear fabrics, you must not only choose good-looking fabrics, but also choose fabrics with good performance and high quality, and can be more comfortable in use.
When we’re choosing the ideal fabric for bathing suits, we need to consider:
·Durability
·UV Resistance
·Stretch
·Opacity
·Feel
·Drying time
·Ease of Care
·Chlorine Resistance
And even more importantly, If you want a swimsuit that functions as well as it looks, you might want to stick to one of these popular fabric options:
·Polyester blends (ideally the blend should have 10-20% spandex)
·Nylon blends (ideally the blend should have 10-20% spandex)
One of the most common types of knit you’re likely to come across in the swimwear is tricot, a special type of warp knitting that features vertical ribs on the face and horizontal ribs on the back. Tricot is excellent at holding its shape and won’t sag or billow however often its worn. Providing it’s made from polyester/ nylon and spandex, it makes a fine swimwear.
Most swimsuits are made from blends of either polyester or nylon. Both materials have great properties, let’s take a look at the advantages of each.
Nylon is one of the most popular choices for swimwear. It’s waterproof, quick-drying, durable, stretchable, soft hand feeling, and is easy to care for. Although it’s possible to find straight-up nylon swimsuits, you’re more likely to find it blended with spandex to give an enhanced stretch. A typical composition will be 80-90% nylon and 10-20% spandex- the greater the proportion of spandex, the more body-hugging the swimsuit.
Polyester, like nylon, is a popular choice in swimwear, soft yet strong, and with the added advantage of chlorine and UV resistance. It’s usually blended with spandex to add some figure-flattering stretch. The price of polyester is relatively cheaper than nylon.
