Leica common sense explanation

Lycra is a very fashionable word nowadays. It is a registered trademark of the elastic fiber produced by DuPont in the United States. In fact, Lycra is just a trade name for INVISTA, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont (acquired by Koch Industries in 2004 for $4.4 billion), and because of the company's dominant market position in spandex, Lycra has almost It has become synonymous with all spandex yarns. It is a man-made elastic fiber made of petroleum, which can be stretched 4-5 times freely, and can quickly return to its original length after the external force is released. It can be interwoven with any man-made fiber or natural fiber, but cannot be used alone.

difference:

1. Modal can be made into clothing alone, while Lycra must be blended with other fibers.

2. According to their own characteristics, Modal is more suitable for underwear fabrics than Lycra, because it is softer, breathable, close-fitting and 100% natural.

3. The elasticity of Lycra is stronger than that of Modal, which is why Lycra is not as soft as Modal. Therefore, Lycra is used in body-shaping underwear, gym suits, swimming suits and other clothing with strong body-shaping properties.
