| General | The performance and value spandex fiber! Launched in 1985, type S-85 has evolved into a versatile and effective performance fiber for every sheer to medium weight fabric application. Used globally in hosiery, corespun and covered yarns, strech woven, and circular and warp knit fabrics. |
| Characteristics | Power and elongation, flex life, modulus, resistant to discoloration from atmospheric contaminants and to hydrolysis in damp storage and alkaline wet processing conditions. |
| Available Denier Range | 10 - 1680 |
| Competitive Advantages | S - 85 spandex has excellent dyeability with acid type dyes. When used with nylon fibers, fabrics will have little, if any, "grin-through" of the spandex when the fabric is streched. The unique feature of S - 85 spandex yields fabrics of good union shades. |
| Recommended End Uses | Sheer hosiery, activewear, high fashion, circular and warp knit fibers for intimate apparel, swimwear, ready-to-wear, lingerie and sportswear. Body contouring and shaping items, stretch woven suits, fabrics, upholstery and general automotive uses. |
