Structure: Corespun spandex is a type of spandex fiber in which the outer layer is covered with other fiber materials such as cotton, polyester, etc. Different from covered spandex, the outer layer of core-spun spandex not only protects the elasticity of spandex, but also gives the fabric more characteristics.
Features: Corespun spandex is often used in fabrics that need to combine different properties. The outer layer of covering fibers can provide more functions such as moisture absorption, breathability, etc., while maintaining the elasticity of spandex.
Application: Due to its combination of different fibers, corespun spandex is suitable for situations where multiple properties need to be incorporated into the fabric. It can be used for various types of clothing, from underwear to outerwear, as well as sportswear that requires a combination of elasticity and other properties, etc.
In conclusion, coated spandex and core-spun spandex are both ways to add elasticity to textiles, but there are differences in structure and application, and the right type needs to be selected according to specific needs.
Final Notes:
Spandex core-spun yarn is a spandex wrapped with staple fibers, with spandex yarn as the core, covered with non-elastic staple fibers, and the core yarn is generally not exposed when stretched.
Spandex covered yarn is made of chemical fiber filament to wrap spandex, and it is also an elastic yarn formed by using spandex yarn as the core, and non-elastic staple fiber or filament is coated with elongated spandex yarn in a spiral way. There is a core exposure phenomenon in the tensioned state.
