Polyester Elastane Chitosan Finish Antibacterial Anti-Odor Brushed Fleece Knit combines polyester elastane with a bio-based chitosan finish with a Brushed Fleece Knit construction. It is aimed at Running Tops that require low weight with fast moisture transport, and the reason is straightforward: a bio-derived antibacterial route for restricted substance sensitive programmes, so Antibacterial Anti-Odor.

Why this construction works
Because a brushed back fleece knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: a soft inner face that traps warm air without heavy weight. That consistency is what lets a factory cut confidently and lets a brand repeat an order a season later with the same result.

Recommended applications
Used for Running Tops and for the accessories around them. low weight with fast moisture transport is the reason it is chosen, and the fabric bonds, prints and sews on standard machinery without special settings.

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
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.
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.
