| Qmaloft All-Polyester-Family 144-Needle Terry-Bottom Sports Socks use PET, PTT, and TPEE polyester-family filaments as their core materials. The sock structure avoids PU/OP elastic yarn, nylon, and rubber yarn. Composite filament yarns, TPEE elastic covering, and terry-bottom construction work together to provide the support, underfoot comfort, and durability required for sports use. ### 144-Needle Terry Bottom for Soft Cushioning The sock body uses a 144-needle circular-knit construction to maintain a refined, smooth surface. The sole uses a thicker terry-loop structure, creating a soft cushioning layer at high-contact areas including the forefoot, arch, and heel to improve underfoot comfort and support. The terry loops are a regular knitted structure, distinct from the ATY micro-loops in the face yarn. The face yarn presents fine, short, non-directional loops formed by continuous filaments, rather than conventional staple-fiber fuzz or brushed fibers. ### PET/PTT/TPEE Composite Filaments to Replace Conventional OP and Rubber Yarn The face yarn uses PET/PTT composite elastic filament combined with PET micro-denier filament through ATY processing, creating a refined cotton-like hand, natural friction, and a low-luster appearance. The internal elastic structure uses TPEE polyester elastic yarns of different diameters, combined with PET filament through covering or ply-yarn processing. This system allows elasticity to be adjusted for the cuff, instep, arch, and sock body. It provides balanced stretch recovery and stable support without relying on the PU/OP elastic yarn or rubber yarn commonly used in commercial sports socks, enabling an all-polyester-family elastic structure. ### Durable Functions for Sports Use **Soft cushioning**：Terry loops at the sole provide a refined underfoot feel and reduce localized pressure during long walks and sports activities. **Elastic support**：TPEE elastic structures combined with zoned knitting help the sock follow the shape of the foot and reduce the risk of sagging after repeated wear and laundering. **Moisture management and quick drying**：Filament construction and open spaces within the terry-bottom structure help disperse and dry perspiration. **Abrasion resistance**：Higher-density or reinforced construction at the forefoot, heel, and toe improves service life for everyday and sports use. **Pilling and snag resistance**：Filament construction, controlled ATY micro-loops, and compact knitting help reduce visible fuzz, pilling, and snagging risk. **Odor-management potentia**：Appropriate material selection and finishing can support odor-management product development. ### Flat Toe Closure for Enhanced Comfort The toe area uses Italian Lonati automated toe-linking technology to create a flatter seam and reduce the bulk and foreign-body sensation associated with conventional sewn sock toes. Combined with a wide elastic cuff and three-dimensional foot construction, the sock maintains a comfortable fit for sports, commuting, and everyday wear. ### All-Polyester-Family Design for Sock-to-Sock Circularity Qmaloft terry-bottom sports socks integrate face yarns, elastic yarns, reinforced structures, and seam design within an all-polyester-family material system. This reduces mixed-material use and provides a more consistent basis for sorting, recycling, and remanufacturing. The product can connect with DEOTEX’s patented mechanical-recycling and remanufacturing development pathway. Built on Taiwan’s material supply chain and manufacturing base, Qmaloft provides a Made-in-Taiwan sports-sock option that combines performance, durability, and circular-design thinking. |
