Product Details

Feature: Stretch and fit; Durability; Quick drying; Comfort

The high level of spandex, primarily composed of polyurethane, ensures that swimwear made from this fabric can stretch considerably and more importantly, return to its original shape, preventing sagging and bagging.

Polyester’s strength contributes to the fabric’s overall durability, resisting tears and abrasions.

Polyester dries quickly, making it ideal for swimwear that needs to be ready for frequent use. Additionally, it repels water, enhancing its quick-drying capabilities.

The smooth and soft texture of the fabric provides comfort for extended wear.

It’s suitable for those looking for swimwear or bikinis that are lightweight, long-lasting, comfortable, and supportive with a good stretch.

People also ask

Is 85% polyester 15% spandex stretchy?

Yes, a fabric blend of 85% polyester and 15% spandex is quite stretchy. The spandex component provides significant elasticity, allowing the fabric to stretch and return to its original shape. This blend is commonly used in activewear and garments that require flexibility and comfort.

Does polyester and spandex fit tight?

Yes, garments made from a polyester and spandex blend often fit tightly. The spandex provides elasticity, allowing the fabric to stretch and conform closely to the body's shape, which results in a snug fit. This makes the blend popular for activewear, leggings, and other form-fitting clothing.

Is it possible to sublimate on polyester and spandex?

Yes, sublimation printing works well on polyester and spandex blends, especially when the polyester content is high. Polyester fibers are ideal for sublimation because they can effectively absorb the dye, resulting in vibrant and long-lasting prints. While spandex itself doesn't hold sublimation dyes as well, the high polyester content in the blend ensures that the overall fabric is suitable for sublimation printing. This makes it a popular choice for custom sportswear and other printed apparel.
