Overview
This poly-cotton stretch fabric combines a dobby rib construction with a polyester-cotton-spandex blend for professional workwear development. Its two-way stretch structure provides a material option for garments where ease of movement, fabric strength and a defined surface texture are important selection considerations.
The fabric is also supported by high-visibility colour testing and documented mechanical and colour-fastness results. These properties make it relevant to industrial workwear and selected high-visibility garment projects, subject to the required colourway, garment design and applicable end-use performance requirements.
Performance & Standards
The fabric has documented tensile and tear strength, dimensional stability, colour fastness and water vapour resistance results. The technical specification also records conformity for high-visibility colour coordinates and luminance under EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016.
Key Test Results
| Performance Area | Test Standard | Reported Result |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | EN ISO 1421:2016 / EN ISO 13934-1:2013 | Warp: 1,880 N; Weft: 790 N |
| Tear Strength | EN ISO 13937-2 / EN ISO 4674-1:2003 | Warp: 105 N; Weft: 99 N |
| Dimensional Stability | EN ISO 6330 | Warp and weft: less than ±3%, following five washes with tumble drying at the specified 40°C/60°C conditions |
| High-Visibility Colour Performance | EN ISO 20471:2013+A1:2016 | Colour coordinates and luminance reported as conforming in new condition, after 25 washes and after xenon exposure |
| Colour Fastness to Laundering | EN ISO 105-C06:2010 | Grade 4 for colour change and staining on polyester and cotton |
| Colour Fastness to Perspiration | EN ISO 105-E04:2013 | Grade 4 for alkaline and acidic staining on polyester and cotton |
| Colour Fastness to Hot Pressing | EN ISO 105-X11:1996 | Grade 4–5 under dry, damp and wet conditions at 120°C |
| Colour Fastness to Dry Rubbing | EN ISO 105-X12:2016 | Grade 4 for staining on cotton |
| Water Vapour Resistance | EN ISO 11092 | Ret < 5 m²·Pa/W |
Testing Notes
Results are reported in the supplier’s technical specification dated 12 April 2022. The document lists alternative tensile and tear test methods without identifying which method produced each result. High-visibility conformity refers to reported fabric colour measurements, not finished-garment certification or approval of every colourway. Hydrostatic-head and abrasion-resistance ratings are not established by the supplied data. Results may vary between articles and should be confirmed for the selected fabric and intended end use.
Applications
Suitable Applications
Industrial Workwear
A material option for work trousers, jackets and coordinated workwear garments where a poly-cotton blend, two-way stretch and a structured woven surface are relevant to the design brief.
High-Visibility Workwear
Suitable for evaluation in high-visibility workwear projects requiring fluorescent fabric options. The technical specification reports high-visibility colour conformity, but the selected colourway and finished garment must be assessed against the applicable requirements.
Stretch Workwear Components
May be considered for garment panels or components where two-way stretch and fabric strength are important selection criteria. Placement and suitability should be confirmed through garment development and testing.
Selection Considerations
Buyers should confirm the required colourway, garment construction, laundering conditions and end-use performance before specifying this fabric. High-visibility fabric colour test results do not establish finished-garment certification. The supplied technical data does not substantiate flame resistance or a waterproof performance rating.
