Lycra Soft enhances soft stretch with renewed comfort
The Lycra Soft family of yarns (T906M - T902B - T906C) add
benefits to a broad range of garments, from pantyhose, knits and shapers to
the heavier weight raschel knits, narrows, waistbands, knee highs and sock tops.
Lycra Soft yarns have been developed to enhance soft
stretch with renewed comfort to find application in a wide range of products.
All Lycra Soft variants deliver softer stretch and good runnability.
Lycra Soft T906M has been specifically developed to
combine comfort and different levels of support in pantyhose. In a recent wear
test, three out of four women preferred the pantyhose made with Lycra Soft,
especially women in the upper end of the size range. The women expressed a feeling
of reduced fatigue at the end of their workday.
Lycra Soft T906B gives new freedom of motion to make
workouts more comfortable. By reducing pressure on the body by 40 per cent,
Lycra Soft advances the cause of active comfort. When the focus is on freedom,
for active sportswear and certain types of intimate apparel, Lycra Soft T906B,
designed for use in warp and welt knits, accommodates extreme movement without
restraint as it maintains garments’ original fit and appearance. This bright
luster yarn offers a better, more consistent fit across a greater size range,
improved heat-setting efficiency and chlorine resistance.
Lycra Soft T902C is designed for raschel fabrics and
garments that rely on gentle shaping to enhance a feeling of well-being. This
clear luster yarn offers potential yield improvement and superior chemical and
thermal stability.
Chlorine/mildew resist engineered to resist the ravages
of chlorine and mildew
Earlier this year at Lycra Rendez-Vous, DuPont previewed
T909B, a revolutionary new Lycra swimwear product, to fabric mills and manufacturers.
T909B is designed to deliver unsurpassed durability for high-use, competitive
swimwear. Lycra developed T909B for competitive water sports, where maximum
elasticity, durability and chlorine resistance are essential. Initial wear trials
have shown that Lycra T909B will help swimwear keep its body-hugging fit for
longer and without breaking in chlorine-treated pools. Lycra in swimwear also
resists the effects of mildew, which can result from leaving a wet suit for
too long in a warm, enclosed space.
T163C for socks: A good investment for quality socks
Those who choose socks containing Lycra get more than
simply a special kind of yarn, colour or pattern, they get exceptional comfort
and durable wear. Adding as little as 2 to 3 per cent of Lycra to cotton or
wool allows socks to acquire these characteristics.
To provide the best value for quality socks, DuPont
offers Lycra T163C in 20 decitex for all constructions, which contributes superior
staying power and optimised stretch and layout. Lycra T163C assures superior
wear, comfort, excellent size stability and uniform appearance. Lycra allows
socks to retain their shape when ironed, guaranteeing the best retail presentation
to consumers.
Socks with Lycra retain their size and shape after
repeated wear and laundering. Lycra T163C gives sock garments unprecedented
levels of comfort and fit while retaining the touch and feel of the natural
fibre blend.
