Spandex is a synthetic fabric with high elasticity. The word “Spandex” is not a brand name, contrary to common opinion. This term refers to polyether-poly urea copolymer fabrics that have been manufactured using various production processes. The spandex fabric can stretch up to five to eight times its normal size, and it is commonly used in form-fitting consumer apparel. In most cases, spandex in its pure form is not used in the manufacturing of garments
