![<p><strong>Knit Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Knits are either active or circular knits, with or without nap or pile. Knit is worn in all layers of the clothing systems, for example, as fleece or softshells. Knit products can be produced from all types of materials, whether natural fibres, mix qualities, or synthetic fibres.</p> Knit Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_knitted.png)
![<p><strong>Garment Maker</strong></p>
<p>Garment makers supply the manufacturing/assembly of clothing. There are specialists for each product category and process, for example, stretch, downs, waterproofing, and knits.</p> Garment Maker](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_garment_maker.png)
![<p><strong>Applications · Inlays</strong></p>
<p>Products that cannot be used independently and require a carrier material, such as padding materials, meshes, linings, shock absorption, or trimmings. These also include textile workmanships that combine padding with bonding or padding with quilting, and the special production methods required for such material designs. </p> Applications · Inlays](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Applications_·_Inlays.png)
![<p><strong>Finishes · Treatments<br /></strong></p>
<p>Producer of chemical finishes and treatments which add functions such as wicking properties, UV cut, anti-bacterial/odor or anti-viral management, a soft touch, etc. to materials. The properties are added into to the yarn or washed into the fabric.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p> Finishes · Treatments](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_FINISHES_·_TREATMENTS.png)
![<p><strong>Anti-Odor</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics, which are able to prevent the growth of odor causing bacteria through the use of biocidal agents due to their fiber qualities or special treatments. Application areas are in the base and midlayer.</p> Anti-Odor](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_odor_management.png)
![<p><strong>Printable</strong></p>
<p>Printable carrier fabrics. The printing method is dependent on the respective base material. Various print methods include digital, transfer, and roll pressure.</p> Printable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_prints_fancy.png)
![<p><strong>Quick Dry</strong></p>
<p>Materials that distribute absorbed moisture over a larger area, effectively allowing them to evaporate faster. The quick drying properties can be achieved by the type of fiber, fiber cross section, fabric construction, or treatment.</p> Quick Dry](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_quick_dry.png)
![<p><strong>Stretch</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that are elastic because of their fiber inserts and/or fabric structure. This category is further sub-divided in two or four way stretch (bi- and multi-stretch).</p> Stretch](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_stretch.png)
![<p><strong>Waterproof & Breathable</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics and agents for the production of waterproof clothing. The term waterproof implies coated or laminated materials, which can achieve the minimum water column requirements (in mm). Whether a fabric is classified as waterproof depends on the relevant standard. In Europe, the standard is EN-ISO-811, which specifies a minimum value of 1500 mm. The Japanese JIS method demands the attainment of a minimum value of 3000 mm. The height of the water column is application dependent, so higher values are sometimes necessary.</p>
<p>A functional fabric should provide good breathability. This is expressed by the MVTR. The value is given in g/m²/24h – the higher the value, the better the breathability.</p> Waterproof & Breathable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_waterproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>Cooling</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that cool the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Cooling](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Cooling.png)
![<p><strong>Recycled</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that are recycled. The raw materials, natural materials, and synthetic materials come from either post-consumer-waste like PET bottles, or from post-industrial-waste such as paper manufacturing, and are then reworked either chemically or mechanically.</p> Recycled](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_RECYCLED.png)
![<p><strong>Biodegradable</strong></p>
<p><span>Materials which degrade to carbon dioxide, biomass, hydrogen/water, oxygen and methane with microorganisms over a certain period of time, depending on the surroundings. They can be from natural ressources or man-made.</span></p> Biodegradable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Biodegradable.png)
![<p><strong>CO2 neutral<br /></strong></p>
<p><span>A code referring to the global approach to control and compensate the emissions produced. Emissions are measured, reduced and compensated what cannot be reduced.</span></p> CO2 Neutral](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_CO2_neutral.png)
![<p><strong>CO2 reduced<br /></strong></p>
<p><span>A code dedicated to materials that have reduced CO2 emissions during production.</span></p> CO2 Reduced](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_CO2_reduced.png)
![<p><strong>Natural Fibers</strong></p>
<p>Materials, fabrics, fibers, and yarns that consist 100% out of natural materials like wool, cotton, hemp, coconut, linen, bamboo, sisal, kapok.</p> Natural Fibers](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Natural_Fibers.png)
