Developed for Swimwear, this Jacquard Knit answers the most common brief we receive: chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention. The yarn package is polyester spandex with graphene modified filament, chosen because it provides thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself, and the finished cloth is set and tested so that Breathable Mesh.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a patterned jacquard knit means zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires, and that structure is what allows the fabric to keeps air moving across the skin in high heat zones under the conditions Swimwear actually face.

Performance features
- Breathable Mesh: keeps air moving across the skin in high heat zones, measured by ISO 11092 thermal and water vapour resistance.
- Hand and comfort: thermal regulation and far infrared behaviour from the yarn itself.
- Construction benefit: zoned structure and ventilation placed exactly where the pattern requires.
- 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.
Breathable Mesh fabric prepared for Swimwear production
Dyeing, finishing and customisation
Available in piece dyed, yarn dyed or sublimation ready form. Functional finishes such as moisture management, antibacterial, anti-pilling and UV absorption can be applied individually or combined, and each is verified against its test method before bulk release.
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
Trial quantity starts at 300 metres per colour with laboratory dips in five working days. Bulk lead time is 20-25 days after approval, and every lot ships with a test report, a shade check and an inspection record.

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.
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.
