TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Polyester Single Jersey with Elastane
| Weight | 160–250 g/m² |
|---|---|
| Composition | ~92–95% polyester / 5–8% elastane (spandex); commonly 95/5 and 92/8. |
| Knit type | Single jersey + elastane · Single Jersey |
| Use class | Sport |
| Stretch | 2-way stretch |
| Knit | Elastane plated with the body yarn on the single-jersey base; gives 2-way weft stretch. |

| Typical use | Activewear · fitted tees · sports innerwear |
| Strength | The stretch single-face base for fitted pieces that must move and snap back. |
| Watch for | A single elastane end is usually 2-way (not 4-way); excess heat/chlorine fatigues elastane. |

Typical technical ranges
| Weight tolerance | ±5% (typical); on light/fine jersey (≤150 g/m²) practically ±5–7% |
|---|---|
| Width | Open width 150–200 cm; tubular 70–110 cm (varies with machine diameter/inches and gsm) |
| Shrinkage (wash) | After-wash length/width −3% … −7% (typical after heat-set; length usually higher); higher if not set / high-twist yarn |
| Color fastness | Wash 4–5; rubbing dry 4–5, wet 3–4; light 4–6 (lower bound on deep/bright and pale shades); perspiration (acid/alkaline) typically 4–5 |
| Abrasion / pilling | Martindale ~20,000–40,000 cycles (smooth jersey, end-use dependent); pilling 3–4. Brushed/raised variants (fleece) more prone |
| Gauge / yarn | Machine gauge ~E20–E28 (fine sport jersey E28–E32); yarn typically 75–150 den PES filament (DTY), 50–75 den on fine gauge, heavy jersey 150–300 den |
