Wholesale Water Repellent for Spandex Blend Fabric

Water Repellent for Spandex Blend Fabric

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Intro

Water repellent for spandex blend fabric is developed for mills that need water protection on spandex and elastane blended fabric. The chemistry builds a water repellent film on the fiber surface, so the fabric resists water, spills and daily soiling while keeping elasticity and soft hand feel.

It is used on spandex blends, polyester-spandex blends and nylon-spandex blends, and can be applied on pad-dry-cure lines and continuous ranges. The product is designed for sportswear, underwear, swimwear and home textile where elastic fabric is used.

For mills running multiple spandex programs, one product can cover several finishing steps, which simplifies stock and reduces changeover time. It can be combined with hydrophilic and softening systems in one bath.

Typical users include sportswear mills, underwear producers, swimwear suppliers and brands that specify water repellency on elastic fabric. TDS, samples and technical support are available on request.
