The main fabrics of swimsuits include DuPont Lycra, nylon and polyester, each of which has its own unique characteristics and applicable scenarios.
DuPont Lycra: Lycra is a man-made elastic fiber with excellent elasticity. It can stretch to 4 to 6 times its original length and quickly return to its original shape after releasing external force. It is often blended with other fibers to enhance properties such as drape and wrinkle resistance. DuPont Lycra swimwear with chlorine-resistant ingredients lasts longer and is suitable for all styles of swimsuits .
Nylon: Nylon is a polyamide fiber known for its high elasticity and wear resistance. The elastic recovery rate of nylon is as high as 100%, and it can withstand tens of thousands of flexings without breaking. Nylon swimsuits have better tolerance to chlorine and are particularly suitable for indoor swimming pools. The price of nylon fabric is relatively moderate, suitable for mass consumption and suitable for one-piece swimsuits.
Polyester: Polyester is a unidirectional, bidirectional stretch elastic fabric with limited stretch, so it is mostly used in swimming trunks or women's two-piece swimsuits. Polyester fabric is durable and does not easily deform, but it has poor water absorption and is suitable for consumers with limited budgets.
