Melt spinning is used for polymers that can be melted i.e. the polymers must have a melting temperature (thermoplastic polymers). Dry spinning is used for polymers that do no have melting temperature and need to be dissolved in solvent (thermoset polymers).

In case of melt spinning, the polymer solidifies by cooling after being extruded from the spinneret. Whereas, in case of dry spinning, the polymer solidifies through evaporation of solvents and this is achieved by a stream of air or inert gas.

How is lycra made?

Lycra can be made in a few different ways, including reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, solution wet spinning and melt extrusion. With all of these methods, the first step is to cause monomers to react and produce a prepolymer, which is then reacted more to produce fibers.
