Warp knitting industrial fabrics have expanded from the industrial field to daily life due to their characteristics such as "excellent longitudinal elasticity, dense structure, and customizable functions". Their advantages such as wear resistance, wrinkle resistance, and breathability perfectly meet the needs of home, travel, protection and other scenarios, becoming a "practical fabric" that improves the quality of life.
In home soft furnishings, warp-knitted fabrics are the preferred choice for sofas, curtains, and mattress linings. This is because they are very durable.For example, warp-knitted suede is used for sofa fabrics. It has an abrasion resistance of ≥50,000 cycles. This is much higher than the 20,000 cycles of ordinary cotton fabric. And it doesn’t pill easily from daily friction.Also, warp-knitted blackout fabrics are used for curtains. They have a wrinkle recovery rate of ≥90%. They stay smooth after washing, so you don’t need to iron them.And the warp-knitted lining inside mattresses has an air permeability of ≥1500g/(㎡·24h). This speeds up the release of moisture inside the mattress. It also stops mold from growing. And it works for families’ long-term use.
Automotive interiors have high requirements for fabric "durability," and warp-knitted fabrics perform outstandingly:
Warp-knitted elastic fabrics are used for seat covers. They have a stain resistance level of Grade 4 (stain removal rate ≥95%). This makes it easy to clean up spills like coffee or juice. Warp-knitted fabrics for door linings can withstand an aging test of ≥3000 hours. They are not easy to fade or crack after long-term exposure to sunlight.Also, warp-knitted non-slip fabrics are used for car floor mats. They have a bottom anti-slip coefficient of ≥0.8. This prevents displacement when stepped on and ensures driving safety.
In outdoor and protective scenarios, warp-knitted fabrics have obvious functional advantages:
For example, civil raincoats use warp-knitted waterproof fabrics. These fabrics have a waterproof grade of ≥IPX5, so they prevent water from seeping in heavy rain. Outdoor sun-protective clothing uses warp-knitted cooling fabrics with UPF ≥50+. These fabrics can block more than 98% of ultraviolet rays.Also, warp-knitted mesh fabrics are used for household dust covers (like those for home appliances and furniture). They are both dustproof and breathable, which stops items from getting damp and moldy. After washing, they dry 30% faster than ordinary fabrics.
In maternity & baby products and daily necessities, the "soft + eco-friendly" features of warp-knitted fabrics meet safety requirements:
Warp-knitted spandex fabrics are used for stroller covers. They have a hand softness of ≤3mm (press test) and air permeability of ≥1000g/(㎡·24h). This prevents babies from feeling stuffy after sitting for a long time. Also, warp-knitted mesh fabrics are used for the diversion layer of diapers. They have a liquid penetration speed of ≤2 seconds. This can quickly disperse urine.
And warp-knitted canvas is used for shopping bags. It has a load-bearing capacity of ≥15kg, so it’s not easy to break after repeated use. Also, its environmental indicators comply with the OEKO-TEX® Standard (no formaldehyde, no heavy metals).

Currently, warp knitting industrial fabrics are evolving toward "eco-friendly development and multi-functional integration": The proportion of warp-knitted fabrics made from recycled fibers is increasing, and some fabrics integrate dual functions of "antibacterial + cooling," further meeting consumers’ needs for "practicality + health" and continuously bringing convenience and comfort to daily life.
