1.Elastodiene Fiber (Rubber Filament)
Elastodiene fiber is commonly known as rubber filament. The main chemical component is sulfide polyisoprene. It has good chemical and physical properties, such as high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance and wear resistance, etc. It is widely applied in knitted fabrics, as socks and rib-knit cuffs, etc.
2.Polyurethane Fiber (Spandex)
Its molecular structure consists of a block copolymer network structure composed of so-called “soft” and “hard” segmers. Spandex is the earliest developed and most widely applied elastic fiber. Also its production technology is the most mature.
3.Polyether Ester Elastic Fiber
Polyether ester elastic fiber is made from the copolymer of polyester and polyether by melt spinning. It has high strength, good elasticity and high melting point. So it can be processed into textiles.
In addition, it has good light resistance. And its chlorine bleach resistance and acid and alkali resistance both are better than spandex. It also has the advantages of cheap material and easy for production and processing. It is a promising fiber.
4.Composite Elastic Fiber (T400 Fiber)
Composite elastic fiber has natural permanent spiral curl property and excellent bulkiness, elasticity, elastic recovery rate, color fastness and especially soft hand feeling. It can be woven alone or interwoven with cotton, viscose fiber, polyester and nylon, etc. to make fabrics in various kinds of styles.
5.Polyolefin Elastic Fiber
Polyolefin elastic fiber has good elasticity and 500% elongation at break, and can be resistant to high temperature of 220℃, chlorine bleaching, strong acid and strong alkali. It is strongly resistant to UV degradation.
6.Hard Elastic Fiber
Some fibers processed by special processing condition, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) have higher modulus and are not easy to deform under low stress. But under higher stress, especially at lower temperature, they have good elasticity. So they are called hard elastic fiber, which can be used to develop some special textiles.
