Power Mesh Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions buyers ask most often about Power Mesh.
What does it mean?
high modulus open warp knit. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
What value should be specified?
Start from 90-160 GSM and adjust for the end use of the garment. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
How is it tested?
warp knit machine. Keeping reference values for Power Mesh lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with warp knit machine, since both affect the reading.
Why does it change between lots?
Process variables such as finishing temperature and elastane batch cause the normal spread of results. Working figures for Power Mesh normally sit around 90-160 GSM in mainstream production. Note warp knit machine on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Can results be compared across suppliers?
Only when the same standard revision and conditioning are used; otherwise measurements are not equivalent. Record elastane content alongside Power Mesh, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside 90-160 GSM usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
