SEEDINO training swimsuit product introduction: LYCRA (Lycra) fiber, specifically called spandex (Spandex/Elastane)

Our SEEDINO training swimsuit products are all made of official LYCRA® fabric (280 GSM). During the research and development process, we found that this material has achieved the best balance in wear resistance, protection and elasticity, which is perfectly suitable for swimming training needs.

What is LYCRA®?

LYCRA®, professionally known as Spandex (Spandex/Elastane), is a high-performance elastic fiber invented by DuPont in the United States in 1958. Its outstanding physical properties include:

  • Super elasticity : It can stretch up to 600% and can quickly return to its original shape, far exceeding rubber materials.
  • High breathability and wear resistance : provides a comfortable wearing experience, suitable for long-term training.

LYCRA® has a density of 1.0 to 1.3 g/cm3. Although its resilience is slightly lower than that of rubber, its durability and elastic range (approximately 5-12 cN/tex) make it an ideal choice.

Material advantages

  • Low moisture absorption : moisture absorption is only 1% of its own weight, keeping you dry when wearing it.
  • Anti-pilling and anti-static : ensure the swimsuit is clean and comfortable during use.
  • Chlorine Resistance : Our spandex fibers are specially treated to effectively resist free chlorine in swimming pool water, extending the life of your swimsuit.

Why choose LYCRA®?

This fiber is renowned for its superior resilience and durability, and has become one of the most recognized sports materials in the world.

Characteristics of LYCRA® fiber

1. Rehabilitation quality and durability

LYCRA® fiber is known for its superior healing qualities and durability, making it one of the most recognized nylon fiber brands in the world. This fiber is commonly used by premium sports brands for its long-lasting shape retention and comfortable fit.

2. Hygroscopicity

Lycra fiber has extremely low moisture absorption, only 1% of its own weight. This keeps the wearer dry during exercise.

3. Anti-pilling and anti-static

Spandex does not easily pill and does not accumulate static electricity, ensuring that clothes are clean and comfortable during use.

4. Chlorine resistance

Free chlorine in swimming pool water can affect the elasticity and stretch of spandex. To improve its resistance to chlorine, spandex fibers can be enhanced with microparticles of zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, or phenolic compounds, making them ideal for swimwear.

5. Widely used

Due to its excellent elasticity, strength, wrinkle resistance and quick-drying properties, spandex is widely used in various clothing, especially underwear and professional training swimsuits.

In addition, if you need to add lining fabric, we also have Plain fabric / Plain weave fabric (ammonia flat) fabrics available.

Plain fabric / Plain weave fabric (ammonia flat)

Construction: Plain weave, the fabric is smoother and generally stronger.
Uses: Mostly used in formal clothing, shirts and skirts, etc., because of its neat and elegant appearance.

In terms of nobility, spandex is often considered a more noble lining, as it has a more formal and silky appearance, suitable for use where a higher level of taste is required.
