ABS Resin Viscose Fabric for Hats — Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
ABS Resin Viscose Fabric for Hats: Specification, Uses and Sourcing Notes
ABS Resin Viscose Fabric is the version buyers specify for hats when the base material is fixed by performance rather than by price. This entry sets out what the material actually changes, which specification to write into the tech pack, and where the cost sits — the three questions that decide whether the item passes bulk approval.
What it is
ABS Resin gives viscose fabric its strength and surface character. In practice that means the fabric behaves differently in cutting, in finishing and in wear: shrinkage allowance has to be built into the spec. Buyers who specify the material up front avoid the most common failure — an item that looks right on the sample card and behaves differently in bulk.
Typical specification
| Item | Viscose Fabric |
|---|---|
| Base material | ABS Resin |
| Standard size | 240 gsm |
| Common finishes | Rose Gold Plating, Sandblasted Finish, Silicone Wash Finish |
| Processes | Injection Moulding, Rotary Printing, Weft Knitting |
| Typical application | Hats |
| Related applications | Down Jackets, Hats, Socks, Sneakers |
| Test standard | REACH SVHC Screening |
| Usual packing | 500 pieces per polybag, 10000 per carton |
Properties that matter in buying
- Dimensional stability — 1% allowance is built into the spec before cutting.
- Colour fastness — tested to REACH SVHC Screening on the actual base material, not on a substitute.
- Mechanical performance — abrasion resistance after 10 cycles or washes.
- Compliance — REACH SVHC Screening documentation issued with the shipment.
- Consistency — the approved counter sample becomes the reference for every reorder.
Common uses
- Trousers
- Backpacks
- Coats
- Suits
- Jeans
- Uniforms
How to specify it
- Name the base material in the tech pack, not just the item.
- Fix the size and tolerance in writing before sampling starts.
- Approve a counter sample made from the actual bulk base material.
- Order the test report against the standard your market requires.
- Retain a golden sample at the factory and a second one with you.
