The Lycra Company, a leader in sustainable fibers, is introducing two new types of fibers: LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK and LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE. These fibers are designed to meet the increasing demand for durable and functional clothing. LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK is perfect for long-lasting activewear and athleisure clothing. On the other hand, LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE is great for swimwear and other sports clothing. These new fibers are expected to last up to ten times longer than regular spandex garments. The launch of these fibers will happen at the Intertextile Shanghai trade event in China.
LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK fiber is specially made to withstand damage from things like UV rays, sunscreen, and creams that can harm clothing made with spandex. These things can affect how well a garment fits, how functional it is, and how long it lasts. LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE fiber, on the other hand, is designed to fit better with different body types. Both fibers promise comfort and versatility.
In addition to these new fibers, The Lycra Company will also introduce LYCRA® SHEER SENSATION technology. This is in response to the growing interest in sheer hosiery by consumers who want to avoid the annoyance of spandex cling. This new technology will offer a solution to this common problem.
