Document Summary

Elastoester: subclass of polyester with good elongation and elasticity, excellent strength retention to wet heat, resistance to chemicals, and easy-care properties: properties, low tenacity, lower elasticity compared to other elastomers, superior strength, better dyeability. Elasterell: elastic bicomponent polyester, good inherent stretch with excellent recovery, easy care, end uses: active sportswear, leisure wear. Lastol: elastic cross linked copolymer olefin, superior stretch and recovery, chemically stable, end uses: activewear and easy care stretch apparel. Fibers with specific physical or chemical properties that make them superior for specialized applications. Glass: manufacturer fiber in which the fiber forming substance is glass (silicon dioxide: process: melt spun, hot drawn, incombustible, good strength, but low flex abrasion resistance, properties, low elongation, high density, nonabsorbent, end uses: interiors and technical. Metal and metallic fibers: composed of metal, plastic coated metal, metal coated plastic, or a core completely covered by metal: processing: laminating or metalizing.
