In terms of general characteristics, Lycra Polyester - Cairo is elastic and soft, ideal for garments that require comfort and movement. Its weight of 220 gr/m2 provides a robust yet light structure, thanks to its composition of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, which offers great elasticity and body fit. Furthermore, the fabric is chlorine-resistant, making it suitable for various aquatic activities, and has a high UV protection factor (UPF 50+), making it a perfect choice for summer and swimwear.

The applications and uses of this fabric are extensive and varied. It is ideal for making lingerie and bras, ensuring freedom of movement and comfort. Additionally, its elastic capacity is perfect for creating fashion garments for both men and women, whether in tops or knitwear. In the sports field, its resistance and quality make it a wise choice for bikinis and swimsuits, and it is also widely used in the manufacture of scrunchies, an accessory that remains fashionable. This versatility truly broadens the creative horizon for those who choose to work with this fabric.

To ensure the durability and best condition of the Lycra Polyester - Cairo, certain care instructions are recommended. The fabric should not be bleached, and the maximum washing temperature should be 40ºC. Although dry cleaning is allowed, the use of trichloroethylene should be avoided. Ironing should be done at a cool temperature, and critically, it cannot be tumble dried, as this could damage the elasticity and finish of the fabric.

The printing technology used for this fabric is sublimation, a process that transfers inks which turn into gas when heat is applied, bonding molecularly to the polyester. This ensures that the design is an integral part of the fabric, resulting in exceptional durability that resists wear and washing, preserving vibrant colors for longer. Sublimation is particularly effective on Lycra Polyester due to its high ink absorption rate, achieving impactful and high-quality results.
