92% Recycled Polyester 8% Spandex Moisture-Wicking Tricot Warp Knit combines 92% GRS recycled polyester / 8% 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: bottle-to-fabric traceability with full chain of custody records, so Moisture-Wicking.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a warp knitted tricot means low curl, smooth and stable, which makes it easy to cut and bond, and that structure is what allows the fabric to moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Swimwear actually face.

Performance features
- Moisture-Wicking: moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry, measured by AATCC 195 moisture management.
- Hand and comfort: bottle-to-fabric traceability with full chain of custody records.
- 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
The first choice for Swimwear, where chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention is the requirement that decides the fabric. It also converts cleanly into coordinated pieces in the same programme, since the hand and the shade run together.

Frequently asked questions
Can we get recycled content with this construction? In most cases yes. GRS certified recycled nylon or polyester can replace the virgin yarn with full chain of custody documents, usually with no visible change in hand or performance.
Can the weight and width be changed? Yes. Most programmes run between 140 and 340 GSM, and width can be set between 150 and 180 cm to match your marker. Changing weight changes cover and stretch, so we re-test before confirming.
