Narrow Width Fabric

Narrow Width Fabrics

Precision knit elastics for a multitude of consumer applications

STRETCH. FIT. SMART.

Enabling Elastic Technologies

In partnership with the world’s largest producer of narrow-width fabrics, we offer a collection of elasticated fabrics and elastomeric yarns. Engineered to achieve required stretch and durability, our portfolio of narrow-width fabrics supports complex design parameters and construction needs.

Platform Features

OUR NARROW WIDTH

Applications

Narrow width fabrics are used across the board in our work at Softmatter from backing for conductive pathways to form-fitting garments

Consumer Health

A backing substrate for fabric-based data transfer; used to build straps for next to skin wearables and biopotential monitors, and much more.

+ Harness for masks

+ Silicone extruded elastics for high-grip applications

+ Stretchable conductive pathways

Consumer Technology

Watch straps and armbands can be programmatically actuated and linked, allowing for the creation of intelligent wearables that respond to external stimuli, or user-designed patterns.

Outdoor and Workwear

Integration with activewear to achieve compression, stretch, and fit-to-form, as well as allowing for varied modulus across soft goods. Whilst in workwear we are developing functional apparel and soft goods with tailored fit, breathability, and great hand-feel – optimized for both comfort and aesthetics.
