What is LYCRA®T400® Fiber?
LYCRA®T400® fibers is a special two-component fiber, in which two different polymers are combined in each filament. The different shrinkage ratios between the two polymers produce a smooth, spiral crimp. During dyeing and finishing, the fibers are heated to produce more crimps. As a result, the fabric and garment made of LYCRA® T400® fibers have much better tensile and resilience than bulky yarns such as PBT polyester fibers, fabrics and garments. Clothing keeps the shape that consumers expect.

How to Use LYCRA®T400® Fiber?
LYCRA® T400® can be knitted in the form of bare fibers knitting or woven garments in the application of blending with cotton yarn, it is better to choose LYCRA® T400® core-spun yarn.
LYCRA® T400® fibers are usually supplied with white yarns of various specifications of ft/daniel and black yarns of a few varieties for dark applications such as jeans and trousers.
Content of LYCRA® T400® Fiber
By the same weight, the elasticity and resilience of LYCRA® T400® fiber are better than that of textured yarn, but lower than that of LYCRA®. Therefore, in order to achieve the given elasticity and resilience level, LYCRA® T400® in the fabric. Fiber content is usually greater than that of LYCRA® elastic fibers, although it is still a relatively low content component of the fabric. The following table shows the typical fibre contents of LYCRA® elastic fibers and LYCRA® T400® fibers in various garments.
