spandex (<elastomer by composition or origin>, elastomer, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Synthetic elastomeric fiber or fabric composed largely of alternating rigid and flexible segments of polyurethane. It is used in the clothing industry, especially for hosiery, underwear, swimwear, and other close-fitting garments. Spandex is the generic name in the United States and Canada. Elastane is the generic name used elsewhere. Lycra is a proprietary name for this material. |
