Spandex is a synthetic fiber fabric made of polyurethane elastane fiber, which has extremely high elasticity and resilience, and is widely used in various clothing and household items. Below we will detail the advantages and disadvantages of spandex fabrics.
First, the advantages of spandex fabric.
1.Good elasticity: spandex has extremely high elasticity and recovery, and can withstand great stretch and compression, so it is widely used in various sportswear, underwear, tights and other clothing.
2.Abrasion resistance: Spandex fabric has good abrasion resistance and can be used for a long time without being easy to wear, so it is also suitable for making some household items that need to withstand wear and tear, such as mattresses, sofa covers, etc.
3.Good breathability: Spandex fabric has good breathability, which can allow sweat to be discharged quickly and keep it comfortable.
4.Lightweight and soft: Spandex fabric is lightweight, soft to the touch, comfortable to wear, especially suitable for summer use.
5.Bright color: Spandex fabric is bright in color and not easy to fade, which can meet the needs of various color combinations.
Second, the shortcomings of spandex fabrics.
1.Poor moisture absorption: Spandex fabrics have poor moisture absorption and are easy to absorb dust and odors, so they need to be washed and dried frequently.
2.Poor resistance to high temperatures: Spandex fabrics are prone to deformation and wrinkles at high temperatures, so they are not suitable for making items that need to withstand high temperatures.
3.Poor lightfastness: Spandex fabrics are prone to aging in the sun, so they are not suitable for making items that require prolonged exposure to the sun.
4.*Higher: Spandex fabrics are more expensive to manufacture than other fabrics, so they are also relatively high.
To sum up, spandex fabric has the advantages of good elasticity and recovery, wear resistance, good air permeability, light and soft, bright colors, etc., but also has disadvantages such as poor moisture absorption, poor high temperature resistance, and poor light resistance. When choosing to use spandex fabrics, it is necessary to consider comprehensively according to the specific needs and use environment.
