A global pioneer of sustainable fibre, The Lycra Company, will launch two new fibres: LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK fibre and LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE fibre, to meet the growing demand for durable apparel offerings and greater functionality. LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK fibre is for for long-lasting activewear and athleisure apparel whereas LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE fibre becomes a constituent of swimwear along with other sports clothing. This fibre is expected to last up to 10 times longer than garments made with unprotected spandex. The debut will take place at the trade event, Intertextile Shanghai, China.
LYCRA® ADAPTIV BLACK fibre is engineered to reduce fibre damage caused by UV rays, sunscreen, and anti-chafing creams that can negatively impact a garment’s fit, functionality and lifespan. Although every LYCRA fabric promises versatile fit and comfort, LYCRA® ADAPTIV XTRA LIFE adapts better to different body types.
In addition to these two major launches, the LYCRA Company will also set afloat the LYCRA® SHEER SENSATION technology in response to rising interest in sheer hosiery by consumers to get rid of that annoying spandex cling.
