Hollow mesh structure leads to weak transverse tear resistance; excessive tension during knitting may tear the tape. 2. Easy to twist and curl during production, demanding precise yarn guiding and tension control, higher waste rate than regular yarn. 3. Mesh holes are vulnerable to snagging by sharp objects. 4. Not suitable for heavy-wear products; repeated friction causes mesh deformation. **Care Instruction** Gentle cold water wash, wash inside out. Do not pull or wring hard. Flat dry only. Avoid high-temperature tumble drying, heat will shrink and harden the mesh tape.
