Elastic and functional yarns with elastane
Single and double-covered or air-covered elastic yarns for underwear, outdoor, sports and lifestyle fabrics. With comfort stretch for sports textiles or compression for medical stockings. Textiles made from textured, elastane-covered yarns are breathable and ensure good moisture management on the skin. Elastane, also known as spandex, can also be twisted with functional yarns such as silver-coated polyamide to prevent skin irritation and the harmful effects of electrical radiation (EMC).
