The original, monofilament,
elastomeric yarn.

These highly proprietary yarns have been primarily designed for the extensive range of elastomeric based fabrics that we make. These yarns are used in the warp direction of our QS2 mesh type woven textiles and provide long term durability, engineered comfort and ergonomic support.

MULTIFILAMENT YARNS

With the ability to weave a wide range of multifilament yarns, these yarns are used in the weft direction in our QS2 suspension fabrics (the opposite direction of our 5280 warp yarns). While the 5280 monofilament yarns provide the power to our woven fabrics, our multifilament yarns, enhance the fabrics with color, design and comfort.

Our proprietary 5280 elastomeric monofilament yarn technology is used in the warp direction across all of our QS2 suspension fabrics. Combine 5280 with our specialty weft yarn options to create unique and custom woven suspension solutions.

  • What are these mesh-like suspension fabrics called?
    Over the years, these fabrics have been called many different terms, mainly due to the wide range of looks we can achieve with our diversified weaving equipment. The technical term is elastomeric woven suspension fabric, but other terms include woven mesh or woven leno fabrics, suspension textiles and some find us by searching for the Pellicle fabric. At Quantum, we simplify how we describe our fabrics and focus on offering textile based solutions with our QS2 suspension fabrics.
