elastane Explanation: I realize this differs only slightly from Edith's answer, but I feel it is critical. Straight from DuPont: http://www.latexallergyresources.org/Ask_expert/spandexlycra... "LYCRA® is DuPont's brand of elastane, or spandex. The word "spandex" is used only in the United States while "elastane" is recognized worldwide, so we tend to use the more widely known term." http://www.personalcare.invista.com/technical.html About Lycra: "It belongs to the generic elastane classification of man-made fibers (known as spandex in the US and Canada)" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 24 mins (2005-06-19 07:50:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regarding elasthane/elastane: Try a google search for the exact phrase \"elastane fiber\" vs. \"elasthane fiber\", or \"elastane blend\" vs. \"elasthane blend\" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 27 mins (2005-06-19 07:53:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastane Oxford dictionaries: http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/elastane |
