Application
A compression fabric has to apply a defined, consistent pressure and hold it wash after wash. This page gathers the high-elastane knit structures that cover the compression, support and shaping range.
Elastane carries compression: pressure is set by elastane share, weight and pattern tension. What matters is not day one but wash one hundred — repeated stretch and heat fatigue the elastane and pressure drops. High-recovery stretch interlock is the structure most resistant to that fatigue.
Shapewear needs shaping: ponte double-knit gives a built-up, opaque, shape-holding panel, while high-elastane interlock provides the wrapping pressure. Most products use both. Fersan knits, dyes and heat-sets these structures under one roof; each card carries the rationale, catalogue weight and a technical data sheet. Note: these structures are for sport/support compression — medical (mmHg-class) compression requires separate testing and certification.
180–300 g/m²

Weight windows come from catalogue data; final specs are confirmed on a sample.
| Weight window | 160–360 g/m² (4.7–10.6 oz/yd²) |
|---|---|
| Compression / pressure | Pressure is set by elastane share, weight and pattern tension; the target level is confirmed on a sample (medical compression needs separate certification) |
| Recovery durability | Elastane fatigue lowers pressure; high-recovery interlock holds shape through repeated washing — see the abrasion/pilling guide |
| Moisture management | Fast-drying polyester on the skin-contact face plus an optional wicking finish |

No. Sport/support compression differs from medical (mmHg-class) compression, which requires separate testing and certification. The structures here are for sport and shaping compression; a specific pressure target is confirmed on a sample.
Shaping is a matter of structure and weight: ponte double-knit gives a built-up, opaque, shape-holding panel, while high-elastane interlock provides wrapping pressure. The two are usually combined in one product.
Elastane carries the pressure; repeated stretch, heat and washing fatigue it. High-recovery interlock and correct care (low heat, avoiding chlorine and softeners) hold the shape for longer.
