Difference between knitted type and woven shade cloth
Difference between knitted type and woven shade cloth
Knitted shade cloth has a higher stretching ability, and woven shade cloth has a better shade rate density. Sunshade cloth is very commonly used in our lives, but the type of sunshade cloth may not be clear to you. The shade cloth can create good light conditions for the growth of plants. Because many plants cannot withstand the direct sunlight of the hot summer sun, this will cause burns to the young leaves of the plants and affect the growth of the plants. The shade cloth came into being to solve this problem.
The material of the sunshade cloth is a new type of plastic material, made of high-density polyethylene. It replaces the polyester or polypropylene materials used in the past.
2 types shade cloth: knittde shade cloth and woven shade cloth
There are two common types of shade cloth, one is knitted shade cloth, and the other is woven shade cloth.
Because the polyethylene fibers used are different, their characteristics are also different.
Knitted woven cloth is also called round fiber sunshade cloth, and round fiber is also called mono. Therefore, knitted shade cloth is also called mono type. If the warp and weft are both mono type, we are accustomed to call it mono+mono type.
Knitted shade cloth
- Made of high-density polyethylene
- Made of mono fiber
- Open design can have better ventilation and ventilation capacity.
- No need for edge banding
- anti-UV
- Resistant to chemical cleaning agents
- Longer service life
- Allow 2-3% stretching and shrinking
Woven shade cloth is also called flat fiber shade cloth, and flat fiber is also called tape. Therefore, woven shade cloth is also called tape type. There is also a tape+tape type of warp + weft.
Woven shade cloth
- Made of high-density polyethylene
- Made of tape fiber
- Expanded weaving method, same weight, has better shading rate
- Need to use tape or high temperature to seal the edge, if it is cut, it will fall apart.
- anti-UV
- Available aluminum foil reflective fiber
- 3-5 years service life
- Minimal stretching and shrinking
As shown in the above content, the two shade cloths have their own characteristics. Knitted shade cloth has a better experience and service life. Woven shade cloth has better cost-effectiveness. The shading rate of the two shade cloths is in the range of 40%-95%. At the same shading rate, woven shading cloth has better cost performance.
New composite shade cloth
With the advancement of technology, the development of craftsmanship. We have developed a new type of composite shade cloth on the original basis. This process uses mono fibers as the weft to provide strong support and locking. Tape fiber is used as the warp, and the unfolded weave has a higher shading rate. By combining the advantages of these two fibers, a mono+tape type sunshade cloth was creatively developed.
Composite shade cloth
- Made of high-density polyethylene
- Made of moto+tape fiber
- Has a better shading rate, and at the same time has a very good stretching force
- No edge banding is required.
- anti-UV
- Available aluminum foil reflective fiber
- Longer service life
- Allow 2-3% stretching and shrinking
At the same time, we have also developed an alternate weaving process. The same shade cloth has different fiber density and shading rate density. At the same time, a variety of patterns are arranged, and the applicability is greatly enhanced.
Summary
The technological development and progress of shade cloth is huge, and it is inseparable from the research and development and investment of our production technology. The shade cloth has also become more diverse and more diversified. Compared with its 30-year history of development, I believe the future is bright. Shade cloth will have a wider application market.
