Core-Spun Cotton-Feel Polyester Compression Seamless Circular Knit combines core-spun polyester with a cotton-like sheath with a Seamless Circular Knit construction. It is aimed at Swimwear that require chlorine and sunscreen resistance with shape retention, and the reason is straightforward: natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic, so Compression.

Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a seamless circular knit means tubular production that removes the side seam entirely, and that structure is what allows the fabric to delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on under the conditions Swimwear actually face.

Performance features
- Compression: delivers graduated support while remaining easy to put on, measured by ASTM D2594 stretch and recovery.
- Hand and comfort: natural surface comfort with the drying speed of a synthetic.
- Construction benefit: tubular production that removes the side seam entirely.
- 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
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.
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.
