Superior heat-setting efficiency

Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber is a unique family of branded elastane fibers from INVISTA. It helps to improve the quality and manufacturing efficiency of elastified fabrics in warp knits, circular knits and woven by enabling fabrics to be heat-set at lower temperatures than those used for standard elastanes.

Due to the low heat exposure required to stabilize the fabric, fabrics made with Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber has excellent dimensional stability, excellent initial whiteness, clear and vibrant colors, and a soft hand.

Fabric production efficiency is greatly improved with the use of Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber, because it allows fabric makers to maximize energy saving by reducing heat-setting temperatures, or maximize throughput by increasing frame speed.

Expanded opportunity with natural fibers
With the growing popularity of many new natural textiles such as bamboo, soy, hemp, organic cotton, etc., Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber is an ideal partner with many new natural fibers to meet desires of consumers who are looking for natural alternatives and excellent fit and shape retention.

In a fabric, just a small percentage of Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber will provide the right amount of give without sacrificing the soft hand of the primary natural fibers. Moreover, the low heat-set process helps to retain the true colors of the fabrics, resulting in whiter whites and brighter pastels.

Exceptional mouding performance
Superior heat-setting efficiency with excellent whiteness retention makes Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber the elastane fiber of choice for molded fabrics. Moulded garments have many advantages. Moulding of seamless bra cups, wings and centrepiece from a single piece of fabric can help to eliminate several sewing steps and create a streamline silhouette. Easy Set LYCRA^® fiber is well suited to the moulding process by allowing lower temperatures and excellent shape retention.
