Glossary

In a technical sector such as the warp-knitted fabrics industry, the terminology used is often unfamiliar, especially for the end consumers who, generally speaking, will not know the meaning behind the symbols that appear on their clothing labels, and as such, cannot be aware of their merits and advantages.

By putting together a glossary full of technical terms and recurring acronyms, Carvico SpA aims to provide clear definitions of some of the more specific textile terminology.

To browse the glossary, just click on the letter corresponding to the first letter of the word that you are searching for.

CHLORINE PROOF

Fabric that does not undergo variations in performance in environments with active chlorine.

CIRCULAR FABRIC

The fabric knits are placed one next to the other in the horizontal direction, with the possibility of un-knitting the fabric by unravelling the free end of the yarn.

COLDBLACK® TREATMENT

coldblack® finishing reduces absorption of heat rays in dark colours. The result is tangibly better heat management: all the fabric with coldblack® finishing heat up less, even in direct sunlight.
