Is Spandex a woven or knitted fabric?
spandex is actually a flexible yarn that can be used in woven as well as in knitted fabrics to increase the elasticity fo fabric but there is no fabric as such that has 100% spandex in it,as its just a 1-10% of actual composition.
Can you iron on spandex?
It is not recommended to iron spandex as high heat can damage the fabric. It is best to use a steamer on a low setting or iron on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
What is the natural source for spandex?
Spandex, also known as elastane, is primarily a synthetic fiber made from petroleum-based chemicals. However, there are natural sources of elastomeric materials that can provide elasticity, such as rubber from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis). While spandex itself is not derived from a natural source, the concept of elasticity can be found in natural rubber and other natural fibers, though they do not possess the same properties as spandex.
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.
How would you explain coonless as a property of fabric?
Coonless is a term used to describe fabric that is made without the use of cotton fibers. Fabrics that are coonless may be made from synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, or spandex, or from other natural fibers like silk, wool, or bamboo. This term is typically used in the textile and apparel industry to highlight the absence of cotton in a fabric composition.
Can you bleach polyester and spandex fabric?
Yes, you can bleach polyester fabric, but it is not recommended for spandex fabric as it can damage the fibers.

What is ponte fabric?
It's 58% polyester and 40% rayon, and is a knit fabric that has some spandex to make it stretchy.
Is spandex natural or synthtic?
Synthetic.
What is a good percentage of spandex in pants to prevent them from becoming baggy?
Bagginess means poor recovery of stretch fabric, further it is related with spandex % in final finished fabric but more it is related with right selection of spandex denier for spinning the yarn and DR applied during yarn manufacturing so the spandex should sustain its modules (Bagginess caused due more stretching of spandex during the covering or core spinning),
What is a synthetic fabric?
Synthetic fabric means that it was man-made with chemicals - it's a fabric that is NOT natural. Examples are polyester, acrylic, rayon, spandex, and nylon. Woven fabric just means the fabric was produced by weaving the threads together (as opposed to knit fabric, where the threads are interlooped, allowing for stretch). Synthetic fabric can be woven or knit.
Is acrylic fabric stretchy?
Acrylic fabric is not naturally stretchy like spandex or elastane, but it can be blended with other fibers to add stretchiness.
What fabric was used in the 1980's?
Clothing made of spandex and Lycra were popular in the 80s
