Tricot Fabrics
Suitable for a wide range of applications
Durable, strong & stable
Tricot fabrics are created using a process called warp knitting, where the yarn is vertically
looped to form the fabric. In Tricot knitting, the loops are formed in a single plane, creating a flat
fabric structure. These fabrics have a stable and uniform appearance with little to no elasticity in the
width direction.
Tricot fabrics are known for their durability, strength, and dimensional stability. These
fabrics can be made from various fibres, including polyester, nylon, and blends of different materials.
Overall, Tricot knitted fabrics offer good shape retention, high abrasion resistance, and excellent
drape, making them suitable for a wide range of applications that require stability and strength in the
fabric structure.

Benefits
The interconnected loops form a stable network that resists stretching and distortion, helping the fabric maintain its shape and dimensions even when subjected to external forces such as tension or pressure.
The knitting process interlocks yarns in a zigzag pattern, creating a stable fabric with high tensile strength. The interconnected loops distribute stress evenly across the fabric, preventing tears or breakage.
The fabric has a smooth surface with a consistent and regular pattern of loops.
The loops in Tricot fabrics are interconnected in a stable manner, allowing the fabric to be both flexible and resilient. This stability helps the fabric drape well over curves and contours, giving it a graceful and flowing appearance
The open structure promotes ventilation and airflow. The spaces between the yarns enable moisture and heat to escape.
Different fibres can be used such as polyester, cotton, aramids, glass and more resulting in a diverse set of characteristics and functionalities to cater to different market needs and preferences.
Often wrinkle resistant and require minimal ironing or steaming to look presentable. They are also machine washable and colorfast, making them convenient to clean and maintain.
Efficient in producing fabric with minimal waste. Durable and long lasting. More energy efficient compared to other weaving methods.
The tight construction minimizes the chances of yarns being pulled out or damaged during friction or abrasion.
