Elastane:
a man-made fibre containing at least 85% polyurethane which is
capable of high stretch followed by rapid and substantial recovery
to its unstretched length.
Elastane, elastomeric:
a fibre, often made of polyurethane, possessing inherent stretch
properties
Elastolefin:
a fibre composed of at least 95% (by mass) of macromolecules
partially cross-linkedmade up of ethylene and at least one other
olefin.
When it is stretched to one and a half times its original length and
released, the fibre recovers rapidly and substantially to its initial
length.
Elastomer:
A polymer which has high extensibility together with
rapid and substantially complete elastic recovery.
Elastomeric yarn:
A yarn formed from an elastomer.
Elastomeric yarns:
Yarns whose structure gives them good stretch and
recovery properties.
The Elastomeric yarns based on polyurethane are
called elastane, or spandex in the USA and parts of
Asia. The terms elastane and spandex do not,
however, include stretch polyamide fibre
