Invista will be showcasing developments in its FreshFlex and Lycra technology at INDEX. FreshFlex fabric is a unique, single layer of material that uses proprietary Invista technology and provides superior breathability, cross-directional stretch/recovery, ease of movement and better fit for products in the personal hygiene industry. FreshFlex is a breakthrough in nonwovens, replacing both rigid and other stretch products with applications in hygiene, medical and other end uses. It can also be customized to a manufacturer’s specific requirements.
FreshFlex is built upon the same technology as Lycra elastane, which is recognized for greater flexibility, stretch and comfort and is also among the top 10 clothing and textile brands in the world.
Invista’s new Lycra XA fiber is not just another elastane but a unique product with specific extra adhesion properties. Whether it’s incorporated into baby diapers, adult incontinence or personal hygiene products, Lycra XA fiber provides the same snug, comfortable fit consumers have come to expect from clothing enhanced with Lycra fiber technology. The XA stands for the specially engineered extra adhesion that is needed when elasticizing nonwoven materials.
