What is Polar Fleece Fabric
Polar fleece is a synthetic fabric known for its outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal choice for outdoor and activewear. It is crafted from 100% polyester, a lightweight, durable material that’s resistant to shrinking, fading, and abrasion.
Polar fleece is made by knitting very fine polyester fibers into a looped structure. The fabric undergoes a brushing process that loosens the fibers to build volume and create a soft, fuzzy texture. This brushing process also traps air, which gives the fabric its insulating properties.
Why Choose Polar Fleece Fabric
- Lightweight and warm: Polar fleece fabric offers a high level of warmth without being heavy, making it perfect for layering.
- Versatility: Available in various thicknesses and finishes, polar fleece can be used in a wide range of products, from outerwear and jackets to loungewear.
- Eco-friendly options: Many polar fleece fabrics are made from recycled polyester, reducing environmental impact.
The Knitting Process of Polar Fleece Fabric
- Knit the Base Fabric:Synthetic yarns are first knitted into a plain base fabric.
- Brush the Surface:This fabric is then brushed with special tools that pull the fibers upward, creating a soft, fluffy, and insulating pile.
- Shear the Pile:Finally, the raised fibers are evenly trimmed to create a uniform, plush, and velvety surface.
