LYCRA® ANTI-SLIP FIBER
Helps prevent seam slippage in stretch denim
WHY CHOOSE LYCRA® ANTI-SLIP FIBER?
The challenge:
Seam slippage is one of the biggest technical problems for the denim industry. Stretch jeans made with polyester, rayon and other fiber blends have become more popular, but they’re also known to be slippery. This can result in low-quality garments with a shorter lifespan, dissatisfied consumers, high return rates, and a damaged brand reputation.
The solution:
LYCRA® Anti-Slip fiber is THE exceptional seam slippage solution for single core spandex (elastane) fabrics that require durable stretch and good recovery power. This patent-pending fiber reduces the puckering caused by seam slippage and improves overall garment quality. When used in the core of LYCRA® dualFX® fiber, the fiber’s anti-slippage performance is enhanced and provides best-in-class results.

INSIGHT
EXPERT VIEW
“Jeans are the most commonly returned garments purchased online, and the majority of denim returns are style or fit related. Some of these issues can be linked to seam slippage, which leads to consumer dissatisfaction with the quality or aesthetics of the product. With LYCRA® Anti-Slip fiber, consumers can have super stretch jeans that last longer, while maintaining optimal fit and shape.”
