Composite fabrics can be classified as follows:
Woven fabrics combined with knitted fabrics; knitted fabrics combined with knitted fabrics; woven fabrics combined with woven fabrics. Sportswear and casual wear often use knitted fabrics combined with knitted fabrics, offering the same effect as woven fabrics while maintaining good elasticity. This type of clothing is quite popular and well-liked by consumers.
Based on fiber type, composite fabrics can be categorized as follows:
Cotton-type composite fabrics (woven from cotton yarn or a blend of cotton and cotton-type synthetic fibers, offering good breathability and moisture absorption);
Linen-type composite fabrics (made from linen fibers, offering a firm texture, coolness, and comfort);
Silk-type composite fabrics (using mulberry silk, tussah silk, rayon, etc. as main raw materials, offering a lightweight, soft, smooth, and elegant feel).
Ordinary composite fabrics are made by bonding the outer and inner fabrics with adhesives, thereby improving the fabric texture and suitable for simplified garment processing and mass production.
Functional composite fabrics possess special functions such as waterproof and breathable properties, radiation resistance, washability, and abrasion resistance.
Based on function and purpose, PTFE functional fabrics can be divided into sports functional fabrics (mainly used in mountaineering clothing, ski clothing, and waterproof jackets, characterized by a rugged style and high performance requirements) and casual functional fabrics (primarily for casual and fashionable wear, emphasizing fine workmanship, soft feel, and comfortable wear).
Based on composite structure, for example, PTFE laminated composite fabrics can be divided into two-layer composite fabrics (composed of an outer fabric bonded to TPU and PTFE films, requiring a lining) and three-layer composite fabrics (composed of an outer fabric bonded to TPU, PTFE films, and an inner warp-knitted mesh fabric, requiring no lining).
