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 incred…ibly 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. (MORE)

How do you make spandex?
Spandex is a synthetic fiber. It is typically made through one of four processes including melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinn…ing. Most of the spandex produced is done so using the solution dry spinning method. In the dry spinning method, a macro glycol with a diisocyanate monomer to produce a prepolymer. The prepolymer is then reacted with an equal amount of diamine. The resulting solution is then cured into fibers and forced through a spinneret. Once the solution is passed through the spinneret, it forms strands of liquid polymer which is heated in the presence of nitrogen and a liquid solvent. This forms strands of solid fiber which are bundled together to a desired thickness. The strands are then treated with a finishing agent. For clothing, spandex is often mixed with either cotton or polyester. (MORE)

Nope, most of them don't. Spandex, or lycra, is a synthetic fabric with a polymer base, like nylon or polyester. Unlike many other synthetic fabrics, spandex is a polyuretha…ne, and it is this fact that is responsible for the fabric's peculiarly elastic qualities. - if the spandex causes skin irritation , its because of LATEX. so u will know if it contains latex. - if its comfortable then it doesn't contain.

Can you be allergic to spandex?
yes! some people are only allergic to rubber (elastic, latex, spandex) which has been bleached or treated with rubber accelerators. Other people are allergic to latex, spandex…, tires, pencil erasers, tennis balls, condoms, hairbrushes. They put rubber everywhere! Take it from me, I have a TRUE latex allergy. with a true latex allergy, an exposure leads to at least three weeks of contact dermatitis. For someone with this allergy, that includes spandex in jeans (which is bad because it is treated with lots of the rubber accelerator which is sometimes the real allergy) (MORE)
