Empowering Movement with Bi-Stretch Fabrics
In the world of technical textiles, reinforcement fabrics are typically designed for durability and resistance, but at IBQ Textiles, innovation goes further. By integrating bidirectional elasticity into high-performance reinforcement fabrics, IBQ sets a new benchmark in flexibility without compromising strength. Unlike conventional reinforcements, which often restrict movement, IBQ's bi-elastic fabrics allow users to experience unparalleled freedom of motion, adapting seamlessly to dynamic activities while maintaining their structural integrity.
This unique capability makes IBQ’s fabrics ideal for applications where both protection and agility are essential, offering superior performance in sportswear, workwear, and protective gear. With IBQ’s reinforcement textiles, users no longer have to choose between durability and flexibility, they get both in a single fabric solution.
The Science Behind Bidirectional Elasticity
Bidirectional elasticity refers to a fabric's ability to stretch in both warp and weft directions, providing multidimensional flexibility. This characteristic is essential for activities requiring a full range of motion, as it allows the fabric to adapt seamlessly to the body's movements without compromising structural integrity.
One exemplary bi-elastic product from IBQ Textiles is SOBA, a fabric engineered to balance performance and comfort. Designed into a 260 gsm double-face, plain weave fabric, SOBA boasts high elasticity and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring it maintains its shape even under stress.
SOBA is constructed from a high-performance blend of Polyamide, COOLMAX®, Black Dyneema®, and Elastane (LYCRA®), making it a versatile choice for reinforcement applications. This fabric excels in abrasion resistance and snagging, complemented by excellent pilling resistance. With its moderate weight and high bi-stretch, SOBA enhances comfort and adaptability, making it suitable for reinforcement applications and the creation of lightweight, high-performance pants, jackets, and panels. Its robust construction caters to both casual wear and demanding outdoor activities, providing users with the confidence to move freely in various environments.
Another notable bi-elastic fabric is ORCHARD RESIN, crafted from a durable blend of Polyamide, high-tenacity Polyamide, and Elastane. Structured in a derived plain weave, ORCHARD RESIN provides a unique combination of flexibility and resilience, making it ideal for reinforcement applications that require both durability and breathability.
ORCHARD RESIN is specifically designed for high-wear areas, excelling in tear strength, abrasion resistance, and durability. Weighing 270 gsm, this fabric is primarily developed as a main fabric and for reinforcement in apparel where strength and freedom of movement are both necessary. Its properties make it particularly suitable for jackets, durable pants, and other reinforced garments that benefit from its mesh appearance and high-tenacity performance.
