Leading the innovation frontier

For spandex fabric with single core yarn that requires long-lasting elasticity and good resilience, Lycra? Anti slip elastic fiber is an excellent solution, which can effectively solve the problem of elastic loss of pants seams in denim applications. The patent pending fiber is designed to prevent slippage of the selvedge seams and help to maintain the appearance of clothes after repeated washing and wearing while improving the quality and yield of clothing. This fiber is widely used in the development and construction of a variety of fabrics, including open construction, polyester / viscose blends and cotton blends, providing a soft handle and a natural appearance.

LYCRA?( Leica The anti slip fiber can be used in Lycra (Lycra) dualfx? Technology yarn to further improve the antiskid performance. This technology is based on several patents related to Lycra's twin core yarn and composite yarn. The advantages of Lycra? And Lycra? T400? Fibers can be obtained by combining Lycra? Antiskid elastic fibers with Lycra? T400? Fibers? That is, the excellent tensile properties and anti slip elasticity of Lycra? Fibers and the excellent resilience of Lycra? T400? Fibers. As a result, consumers can easily have a fit and durable super elastic jeans.

The science of fit ?）
