Spandex

Spandex (EL) are synthetic filament yarns consisting of at least 85% by weight of segmented polyurethane. The main raw material for the production of the fibers is petroleum. The peculiarity of this fiber is that it can be stretched by three times its length under the action of a tensile force, and immediately return to its original position after unloading. Spandex is never processed on its own, but only in blends- at AngelsAmbition usually with cotton.
