Warp-knitted Waffles – Core Information
Warp-knitted Waffles are functional fabrics produced using warp-knitting techniques, named for their surface texture resembling waffle grids. They combine breathability, water absorption, and abrasion resistance, suitable for home, apparel, and cleaning applications. Main raw materials include polyester, poly-cotton blends, and polyester blends.
Process Features
Warp-knitted waffles are produced on Tricot or Raschel warp-knitting machines with multiple needle bar configurations. By controlling the yarn movement of the bars, the warp yarns form a regular raised-and-sunken grid on the fabric surface — raised areas are continuous warp loops, while sunken areas form a plain-woven base connected by weft yarns. Grid shapes are typically square or diamond, with size adjustable through bar arrangement and warp feed control.
Material Composition
Polyester: 100% low-stretch polyester DTY, cost-effective, wrinkle-resistant, durable, suitable for cleaning and workwear.
Polyester-Nylon (Poly-Nylon): 80/20 polyester-nylon composite yarn, ultra-fine fibers enhance absorption and quick-drying, ideal for fine cleaning and home textiles.
Cotton-Polyester: 65/35 cotton-polyester blend, combining cotton’s breathability and softness with polyester’s wrinkle resistance, suitable for apparel and home textiles.
| Feature Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Texture Functionality | Raised grid increases fabric surface area; water absorption ≤8 seconds, uptake 6-10× fabric weight; gaps improve airflow, 30% higher than plain fabrics. |
| Physical Performance | Warp-knitted structure prevents yarn loosening; tensile strength ≥160N/5cm, abrasion resistance ≥5000 cycles; excellent wrinkle resistance; grid remains intact after repeated washes. |
| Skin-friendliness & Practicality | Raised loops soft and non-abrasive; sunken parts trap dust/oil for cleaning, effective yet scratch-free. |
| Ease of Care | Quick-drying (1-2 hours in ventilated area), minimal shrinkage (≤2%), no ironing required; resistant to mild alkali and washing, lifespan 20% longer than weft-knitted waffles. |
| Functional Expandability | Can be treated for antibacterial (silver ion), anti-static, UV protection (UPF 30+); coating treatments enable water- and oil-repellent properties for outdoor use. |
| Specification | Typical Parameters |
|---|---|
| Yarn Type | Polyester: 75D/36F, 100D/48F DTY; Poly-Nylon: 150D/72F composite; Cotton-Poly: 21S/2, 32S/2 blended yarn |
| Fabric Width | Finished width 150-180cm, greige width 160-190cm (including shrinkage allowance) |
| GSM | 120-300g/m²; apparel: 120-180g/m², cleaning/home textiles: 200-300g/m² |
| Grid Parameters | Grid edge 0.5-2cm, height difference 0.3-0.8cm; standard square grids, diamond grids customizable |
| Weaving Structure | Multi-bar warp-knitted; base is plain + raised loops; 4-8 needle bars define grid dimensionality |
Warping
Yarn arranged by needle bars; warp tension uniform (20-25cN) to prevent grid deformation. Poly-Nylon blends pre-opened to improve absorption.
Knitting
Warp-knitting machine speed 350-420rpm; control raised/sunken loop formation and warp feed precisely; monitor fabric flatness to prevent defects such as broken warp or skipped needles.
Finishing
Pre-shrink & Heat Setting: 120-150℃, stabilize width and grid structure.
Functional Treatment: Poly-Nylon raised for absorption; cotton-polyester softened for skin-friendliness; antibacterial treatment with silver ions ≥99% effectiveness.
Dyeing & Fixation: Disperse dye (polyester) or reactive dye (cotton-polyester), 100-130℃ curing, colorfastness ≥3-4, uniform grid color.
Cutting & Edge Finishing
Ultrasonic or 4-thread overlock to prevent fraying; cut into towels, fabric rolls, or custom sizes with neat edges.
Home Textiles: Towels, face cloths, sofa covers, bedding sets; breathable, soft; kitchen cleaning cloths with effective dirt-grabbing grid.
Apparel: Summer T-shirts, sportswear, loungewear, innerwear; breathable raised texture dissipates heat; outdoor jackets lining enhances moisture wicking.
Cleaning Products: Glass cleaning cloths, automotive interior wipes; soft, non-scratch; industrial wipes, durable for repeated use.
Other Uses: Medical dressings (cotton-poly blends) for breathable skin contact; bag linings, abrasion-resistant and non-slip, enhancing product quality.
| Comparison | Warp-knitted Waffles | Weft-knitted Waffles |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Stability | Excellent, no yarn loosening | Good, edges prone to fraying |
| Abrasion Resistance | High, continuous warp yarns | Medium, weft loops wear easily |
| Production Efficiency | High, fast warp knitting | Medium, slower weft knitting |
| Applications | High-frequency cleaning, workwear, home textiles | Close-to-skin apparel, light cleaning |
| Cost | Medium, multi-bar process slightly higher | Low, simple process |
Washing: Machine wash ≤40℃, neutral detergent; avoid bleach or strong alkali; wash similar colors together.
Drying: Air dry or low-temperature drying ≤80℃; avoid high heat to prevent grid hardening or fiber aging.
Storage: Dry, ventilated area; avoid dampness; keep away from sharp objects that may snag grids.
Prohibitions: Do not dry clean; ironing ≤110℃ with pressing cloth; avoid direct contact with raised grid to prevent deformation.
