OK fabric (commonly called UBL/plush fabric) combines nylon and spandex to create a seamless loop surface designed for instant hook adhesion. When laminated to neoprene sponge, this specialized neoprene fabric material becomes the premier choice for orthopedic, sports gear, and animal equipment manufacturers. Its continuous hook-compatible surface enables:
For manufacturers seeking superior alternatives to standard hook-and-loop systems, OK fabric delivers unmatched fastening performance.

Q: What distinguishes Terry fabric from OK fabric?
While some suppliers or customers might categorize Terry as OK fabric, their performance differs significantly. Terry is a broken-loop neoprene with reduced elasticity, lower hook-and-loop (e.g., Velcro) effectiveness, and a lower cost point. Both Terry and brush-backed neoprene fabrics are commonly used in budget-conscious protective gear. However, Terry also serves well as a liner material for device sleeves, like laptop cases.
Q: How do I determine which OK fabric suits my product?
Based on your specific application and target market, we will recommend suitable fabrics. We then strongly advise sewing samples or creating prototypes to test them, ensuring you select the optimal material.
P.S.: Market fabrics often look similar and lack standardized naming, leading to confusion. Therefore, providing us with a physical sample for testing is the most reliable way to identify your exact material requirements.
Q: Which grade of OK fabric is most prevalent in the market?
OK fabric is primarily used for orthopedics and sports braces. China Mainland-sourced OK fabric is widely adopted due to its cost-effectiveness, while still meeting necessary quality standards.
Q: Can the fabric be made UV-resistant or waterproof?
Yes, absolutely. UV resistance and water repellency are essential for outdoor water sports. For such specialized uses, we apply specific treatments to the fabric—including waterproof adhesives to ensure lamination remains secure during saltwater activities.
Q: I’m unsure about my current neoprene fabric. Can you analyze my samples?
Certainly. We can test your samples and identify the best neoprene fabric type for your product’s needs.
Q: Do you offer custom color matching?
Absolutely. For precise custom color development, provide your Pantone number. This specification is essential.
