Spandex yarn is a man-made fiber developed to incorporate stretchability

Spandex yarn is a man-made fiber developed to incorporate stretchability. It is often used to reinforce a fabric, making it more resilient and flexible. It is usually consolidated with other synthetic or natural fibers to improve its performance and appearance. The type of texture and its end utilize decide the sum of spandex required to guarantee ideal execution and style. Spandex can be produced using a variety of methods, including melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinning. The most popular method is solution dry spinning, which produces over 90% of the world’s spandex fibers.

Air covered spandex yarn is made by interlacing bare spandex covering filament with other filament yarns such as polyester. This is done by injecting compressed air into a jet, creating turbulence inside and interlacing the yarns at regular intervals. The process is more efficient and cost effective than conventional spandex covering systems. The yarns produced have a higher level of uniformity and are also more cover and abrasion resistant.

The air covered spandex yarn production is based on two different materials; one is elastic and the other contains filament such as polyester. The non-elastic component enriches the evenness, durability, aesthetics and functional properties of fabrics. Elastic core yarns have greater uniformity in size, strength and elongation. Additionally, they have a higher initial modulus or resistance to stretching that contributes to better loop formation, superior abrasion resistance and durability.

When the elastane component of the air covered spandex yarn is intermingled with a filament yarn such as polyester or nylon using compressed air, the result is a yarn with a powdery look and exceptional softness. The yarns are then wound straight on a spool and can be used to manufacture fabrics that are both comfortable and durable.

Another way to use the air covered spandex is in the creation of cotton core-spun yarn, which combines the high-end feel and performance of cotton with the stretchability of spandex. Textile companies can also produce wool and silk core-spun yarn to give their fabrics the feel of these natural products.

The cover or wrapping yarn is a new type of textile fiber that wraps the spandex core. It is a spiral-wound, filament or short-fiber yarn that covers the core to improve its performance and appearance. It is an excellent choice for knitted fabrics that require high elasticity, such as high-end thin wool and linen fabrics, jacquard double-layer weft knitted fabrics and warp knitted fabrics.
