Spandex fibers are processed and used in combination with other fibers. Elastic textile fabrics are made by weaving or knitting. End-uses of the Polyurethane elastic fibers are in:

• suit-coat and pant fabrics
• underwear
• lingerie
• swim-wear
• hosiery
• high performance active sportswear.

The polyols are predominantly applied in the manufacturing of PU foams. Cured PU moulding resins have a good strength-weight ratio, very good mechanical properties, such as high elongation at break, high-impact resistance, as well as excellent electrical properties. Applications are in construction panels, impregnation of electrical components and glass-fiber reinforced articles (ski’s).
