Note: "OK Fabric" is a blend of nylon and spandex, the back is not reinforced with glue and easy to split after cutting, so it cannot be used alone and can only be used after laminating neoprene. "Terry Fabric" is a predecessor of "OK Fabric", with similar performance, but less elasticity and slightly lower durability. "Loop Fabric" or "Hook and Loop Fasteners" is made of nylon or polyester, the back is reinforced with glue and can be sewn, usually used separately after cutting. They have different physical characteristics and are suitable for different applications. |
