Spandex Elastic Fibers: Development of a new type of elastic fiber stimulates further work in the growing field of stretch fabrics.
A family of synthetic elastic fibers, designated spandex fibers, has been developed, providing new degrees of sheerness and effective "power" in elastic fabrics. These fibers have segmented polyurethane structures. They are durable, they are white and accept dye readily, and they can be set by heat. The development of these fibers has led to new textile technology and to new uses for elastic fabrics.
