Nylon 66 High Tenacity Spandex UPF 50+ Sun Protection Single Jersey Knit combines nylon 66 filament with high tenacity spandex with a Single Jersey Knit construction. It is aimed at Tennis and Golf Wear that require sun protection with a clean, structured appearance, and the reason is straightforward: higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses, so UPF 50+ Sun Protection.

Why this construction works
Because a plain single-bed knit is used, the fabric behaves consistently across the roll: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing. 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
- UPF 50+ Sun Protection: blocks ultraviolet radiation for outdoor training, measured by AATCC 183 ultraviolet transmittance.
- Hand and comfort: higher melt point and better abrasion resistance for demanding uses.
- Construction benefit: the lightest way to get coverage, with good stretch and a clean surface for printing.
- 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 Tennis and Golf Wear and for the accessories around them. sun protection with a clean, structured appearance 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.
