NEOLAST™ fiber is designed to revolutionize performance stretch fabrics,
offering a sustainable alternative to traditional elastane, commonly known as
spandex.
NEOLAST™ fibers bring together powerful stretch,
durability, comfort, and improved moisture-wicking capabilities, aligning with
the high standards set by elite performance fabrics. What sets NEOLAST™ apart
is its dedicated effort to address sustainability challenges associated with
elastane, especially in terms of recyclability.
The production
process of NEOLAST™ fibers is notable for its use of a proprietary
solvent-free melt-extrusion method, eliminating potentially hazardous
chemicals typically found in the creation of stretch fabrics with elastane.
A
significant stride towards sustainability is the incorporation of recyclable
elastoester polymers in the production of NEOLAST™ fibers. This move addresses
the challenge of recycling fabrics containing elastane, a critical
consideration as the industry moves towards a circular economy. Efforts are
being made to explore how NEOLAST™ can enhance the compatibility of stretch
fabrics with future recycling systems and infrastructure.
In addition to the sustainability benefits, the new NEOLAST™ fibers deliver increased production precision, allowing spinners to dial power-stretch levels up or down and engineer fibers to meet a broader array of fabric specifications.
A groundbreaking aspect of NEOLAST™ is its potential to unlock circular manufacturing for performance stretch fabrics. This innovation introduces the possibility for end-users to recycle these fabrics, addressing a challenge that has persisted until now. The collaboration focuses not only on introducing a new fiber, but also on paving the way towards circularity in textile manufacturing.
