As consumers' demands for functional and aesthetic clothing increase, polyester and Dyed Poly Rayon Woven Fabric With Stretch are becoming the focus of technological innovation in the textile industry. This composite fabric, interwoven with elastic yarns (such as spandex), combines drape, breathability and extensibility, providing a breakthrough for performance upgrades in multiple categories of clothing.
1. Athleisure
The blurring of the boundaries between sports and daily scenes has led to the explosive growth of athleisure. The high resilience of polyester fiber complements the moisture absorption properties of rayon, allowing the fabric to quickly wick away sweat and return to its original shape during intense exercise. Taking yoga pants as an example, polyester-rayon blended fabrics containing 15-20% spandex can provide 30% higher lateral extensibility than pure cotton, while avoiding the stuffiness of pure synthetic fiber fabrics. Industry data shows that the return rate of sportswear using such fabrics is 18% lower than that of traditional materials, confirming its market adaptability.
2. Professional formal wear
The limitations of traditional suit fabrics in terms of comfort are being broken by technical blended materials. The 130-150g/m² medium-thick woven fabric containing 8-12% elastic fiber can not only maintain the crisp shape required for suits, but also relieve the pressure of sitting for a long time through 2-4% elastic deformation. It is worth noting that the natural luster of rayon enhances the visual texture of the fabric, making the dyed dark formal wear present a silk-like gradient effect under the light. The 2023 report of the Savile Row Custom Tailors Association in the UK shows that the use of elastic blended fabrics has increased the number of high-end custom suit orders by 27% year-on-year.
3. Women's dresses
The contradiction between drape and shape retention is particularly prominent in dress design. The interwoven structure of 70D polyester and 40S rayon reduces the fabric weight per unit area to 95-110g/m² while still achieving a 45° natural drape angle. This feature is particularly suitable for making dresses with A-shaped or fishtail hem designs, presenting smooth lines in dynamics. Laboratory tests show that at the same thickness, the wrinkle resistance of this blended fabric is 40% higher than that of pure rayon, solving the core pain point that wrinkles easily affect the appearance.
4. Functional jackets
Outdoor jackets and windbreakers have extremely high requirements for the comprehensive performance of materials. Through a double-layer structure and differentiated dyeing process, polyester-rayon blended fabrics can achieve firm adhesion of waterproof coatings on the outer layer, and maintain a breathability of more than 35% on the inner layer. In the 2024 spring and summer series of an international outdoor brand, the windproof jacket using this fabric increases the tear strength to 42N while maintaining a 180° elbow range of motion, and successfully passes the 8-level strong wind simulation test.
5. Underwear
In the field of close-fitting clothing, blended fabrics have significant advantages in biocompatibility. The environmentally friendly dyeing process certified by OEKO-TEX, combined with the pH adjustment function of rayon, makes the fabric suitable for direct contact with sensitive skin. Clinical test data show that elastic blended underwear treated with silver ion antibacterial treatment can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus by 99.3%, and still maintains an antibacterial effect of 86% after 50 washes.
