Compared with pure cotton, polyester and other fabrics, spandex is relatively unfamiliar to people. After seeing the addition of "spandex" to clothes, the first thing that comes to people's minds is harm, so is spandex harmful to the body?
Spandex itself is not harmful to the body, but spandex adopts the method of dry spinning in the production process, and the production solution DMAC in dry spinning is easy to burden the human liver, so the spandex added in the clothes is relatively high, and it is easy to pose a threat to human health. However, DMAC is a volatile substance, and after buying spandex clothes, wash them thoroughly, and then put them in a ventilated and dry place to dry for a few days, it can be volatilized and reduce the threat it poses to the liver.
Spandex fiber has the advantages of good elasticity, wear resistance, alkali resistance, light resistance, etc., but the moisture absorption is relatively poor, and the strength is not very good, so spandex is widely used in underwear, underwear, socks, sportswear, casual clothing and other fields, and has been loved by the public. Generally, spandex will be used with cotton and other raw materials, such as 95% cotton 5% spandex, 97% cotton 3% spandex, etc., relatively speaking, the amount of spandex added will not be too much. If you encounter clothes with more spandex added and are worried about the safety hazards it brings, you can not choose.
