Ilaphu elilula le-suti yokuzonwabisa yowesifazane ngombala omhle.Yenziwe nge-rayon, inayiloni kunye nefiber ye-spandex, iyasebenza kwaye iyabiza.
ISpandex lilaphu elenziweyo elixatyiswayo ngenxa yokunwebeka kwalo.Ngokuchasene nenkolelo ethandwayo, igama elithi "spandex" alikho igama lokuthengisa, kwaye eli gama lisetyenziselwa ukubhekisela ngokubanzi kwiingubo ze-polyether-polyurea copolymer ezenziwe ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuvelisa.Amagama athi spandex, Lycra, kunye ne-elastane ayafana.
Njengezinye iipolymers, i-spandex yenziwe ngokuphindaphinda amakhonkco e-monomers abanjwe kunye ne-asidi.Ekuqaleni kwenkqubo yophuhliso lwe-spandex, kwaqatshelwa ukuba le nto ixhaphake kakhulu ekushiseni, oku kuthetha ukuba amalaphu aziwayo anokuthi angevani nobushushu njengenylon kunye nepolyester aphuculwe xa edityaniswa nelaphu le-spandex.
Ukwelula kwe-Elastane ngokukhawuleza kwenza ukuba kube yinto enqwenelekayo emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye ukuthandwa kweli laphu kuqhubeka kuze kube namhlanje.Ikhona kwiintlobo ezininzi zesinxibo kangangokuba phantse wonke umthengi ungumnikazi wenqaku elinye lempahla ene-spandex, kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba ukuthandwa kwelaphu kuya kuncipha kungekudala.
