Spandex
Spandex is also known under the brand names Lycra® or Dorlastan®. Lingerie often has a spandex content of 2 % - 6 % to ensure an exact fit with freedom of movement. It is similar to rubber, has a particularly high elastic stretch, 3 - 8 times its original length, but is much more durable and dyeable. Spandex is always processed together with another raw material. The aim is to give the textiles elasticity.
