Best Answer

Spandex polymers are composed of three different monomers. Dialcohol monomers make up the rubbery, soft part of the polymer while diamine and diisocyanate monomers make up the rigid, hard part of the polymer.

The three monomers of spandex therefore are dialcohol, diamine and diisocyanate.

Can spandex be dissolved?

Can spandex be dissolved? Yes it can. N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is one chemical that will dissolve spandex (am looking for others).Keep in mind that its incredibly rare to have a piece of fabric comprised of 100% spandex. Generally polyester is blended with spandex in 85:15 or 90:10 ratios to give a material stretchiness. But NMP will dissolve spandex fibers from a spandex spool, but will not touch the polyester fibers.
