Nylon Spandex Copper Ion Filament Antibacterial Anti-Odor Single Jersey Knit is a plain single-bed knit developed for Sports Bras where controlled support and soft contact at the underband decides whether a style succeeds. The base is nylon spandex with copper bearing filament, which gives antibacterial action plus faster heat transfer away from the skin. The result is a fabric that delivers Antibacterial Anti-Odor in daily use rather than only in a laboratory.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a plain single-bed knit means the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing, and that structure is what allows the fabric to stops the bacteria that turn sweat into odour under the conditions Sports Bras actually face.

The first choice for Sports Bras, where controlled support and soft contact at the underband 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 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.
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.
