75% Nylon 25% Spandex Quick-Dry Tricot Warp Knit combines 75% nylon 6 filament / 25% spandex with a Tricot Warp Knit construction. It is aimed at Swimwear that require chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention, and the reason is straightforward: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines, so Quick-Dry.

Why this construction works
Because a warp knitted tricot is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Performance features
- Quick-Dry: releases absorbed moisture fast enough to be ready for the next session, measured by AATCC 199 drying rate.
- Hand and comfort: higher power for compression grades that still run on standard knitting machines.
- Construction benefit: low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond.
- Consistency: GSM and width tolerance are locked per lot and recorded on the inspection sheet.
- Durability: performance is verified after repeated washing, not only as delivered.
Recommended applications
Used for Swimwear and for the accessories around them. chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.
Quick-Dry fabric prepared for Swimwear production
Dyeing, finishing and customisation
The fabric can be supplied greige, piece dyed or printed. Add-on finishes are selected after a wash durability trial, because a finish that disappears after five washes is worse than no claim at all.
Care instructions
- Machine wash at 30 degrees with mild detergent, no fabric softener.
- Dry away from direct heat and do not tumble dry hot.
- Cool iron on the reverse if needed, and avoid bleach.
Ordering, sampling and quality control
Minimum trial order is 300 metres per colour and bulk production takes 20-25 days once the approval sample is signed. Documentation includes test reports per lot, OEKO-TEX conformity and full construction sheets.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum for a first order? Development starts at 300 metres per colour, which is enough for a proper wear trial and a small capsule. Bulk pricing improves at 1,000 metres and above per colour.
Is the performance tested on every lot? Yes. The named test method is repeated on bulk fabric, not only on the approval sample, and the report carries the lot number so results can be traced back.
