What is Spandex (Lycra, Elastane)?

Spandex , also known as Lycra® (a registered trademark of The Lycra Company) or Elastane (its generic name in many European and Asian countries), is a synthetic fiber composed of segmented polyurethane. It is characterized by its exceptional elasticity and resilience , being able to stretch up to 5–8 times its original length and still return to its shape without deforming. It is not used neat in garment manufacturing, but is blended with other fibers (such as cotton, polyester, nylon, viscose) in small percentages to give elasticity and comfort.

The unique properties of Spandex (Lycra, Elastane) include:

Superior Elasticity: Its most notable feature. It allows fabrics to stretch and adapt to the body’s movement.
Excellent Recovery: Once stretched, Spandex almost completely recovers its original shape, preventing garments from deforming or sagging.
Durability: Increases the useful life of garments by improving their resistance to wear and deformation.
Comfort and Adaptability: Garments with Spandex offer greater comfort by fitting perfectly to the body without restricting movement.
Lightness: It is a light fiber, which contributes to the comfort of the fabrics.
Abrasion Resistance: Improves the fabric’s resistance to friction.
Resistance to Body Oils and Detergents: Helps maintain the shape and color of garments despite use and washing.

Common forms of Spandex (Lycra, Elastane) marketed:

Filament Yarn: The most common form, where spandex is produced as a continuous filament. It is wound onto bobbins and combined with other yarns during spinning or weaving.
Bare Fiber (Bare Spandex): Uncoated spandex fiber. Used in applications where external fiber protection is not required.
Covered Yarn (Covered Spandex): Spandex filament is wrapped or coated with another fiber (e.g., nylon, polyester, cotton). This protects the spandex and makes it easier to process in spinning and weaving. It can be single-covered yarn (SCY) or double-covered yarn (DCY) .
Core-Spun Spandex: Spandex fiber forms the core of the yarn, and other fibers are spun around it, creating a yarn with the elasticity of Spandex and the feel of the outer fiber.

Features and Specifications of Spandex (Lycra, Elastane):

We market Spandex in various forms and grades, adapting to the demands of each industry. Specifications are crucial to ensure the proper performance of the final fabric:

Count (Denier or Dtex): A measure of the thickness of a spandex filament. A lower denier indicates a thinner filament. Common counts range from 10D to 1120D, adapting to different uses (fine lingerie vs. sportswear).
Elongation at Break: Indicates how far the fiber can stretch before breaking (e.g., 500% to 700%).
Recovery Force: The fiber’s ability to return to its original shape after stretching. This is a key indicator of Spandex quality.
Luster: It can be glossy, semi-matte or matte.
Color: Mostly off-white.
Chlorine Resistance: Crucial for swimwear. Some grades are formulated to be chlorine resistant (e.g., Lycra® Xtra Life™).
Heat Resistance: The fiber’s ability to withstand the temperatures of textile finishing processes.
UV Resistance: For outdoor applications.
Origin/Brand: Different manufacturers have their own brands and qualities (e.g., Lycra® from The Lycra Company, Creora® from Hyosung, Dorlastan® from Asahi Kasei).

Main industrial applications of Spandex (Lycra, Elastane):

Spandex is essential in the manufacture of textile products that require elasticity and comfort:

Sports & Activewear: Leggings, yoga pants, compression shirts, cycling suits, fitness clothing.
Lingerie and Underwear: Bras, panties, shapewear, sleepwear.
Swimwear: Bikinis, swimsuits.
Hosiery and Stockings: Elastic socks, stockings, pantyhose.
Denim and Jeans Clothing: To add stretch and comfort to denim.
Clothing: Skirts, pants, dresses, and jackets that require elasticity for a better fit and comfort.
Technical Fabrics: Elastic bands, ribbons, footwear components, automotive (upholstery), medical clothing.
Baby and Children’s Clothing: For ease of movement and fit.

Marketing formats:

We supply Spandex in the formats that best suit the logistics and needs of your project:

Per Kilogram (KG) or Ton (TM): We adapt to the volumes required by your production.
By Yarn Cones: Bare, coated (SCY, DCY) or core-spun filament, on spools ready for spinning, weaving or knitting.
