elastne kiud, mis koosneb vähemalt 85 massiprotsendist segmenteeritud polüuretaanist; kui kiudu venitada kolmekordse algpikkuseni ja siis vabastada, taastab see kiiresti ja peaaegu täielikult oma lähtepikkuse
elastofibre composed of at least 85 % (by mass) of a segmente polyurethane, and which, when stretched to three times its originaal length and released, recovers rapidly and substantially to its initial length
Elastane fibres are elastic or rubber-like, which is why they are used in a variety of garments to improve fit and function.
Elastane fibres are resistant to ultra-violet radiation and to micro-organisms. Elastane fibres are used extensively in hosiery, swimwear and foundation garments.
