USA: DuPont Stretches Lycra Range With New Fibre
DuPont has applied to BIFSA, the International Bureau for the Standardization of Man-Made Fibres, for a new generic name for its Type 400 (T-400) elastic fibre. The new product, which is classed under the Lycra umbrella, offers stretch and recovery properties superior to textured yarns, says DuPont, with the added benefits of dimensional stability, easy care and chlorine resistance.
