Barcelona - Several of Europe?s leading
hosiery brands such as Aristoc, Dim and Golden Lady are now using Invista?s
LYCRA Fusion fibre in their latest collections.
Other brands that have already launched
LYCRA Fusion fibre in collections or have imminent launches include Spain?s, Cecilia
de Rafael and Marie Claire; Esda and Nur Die of Germany; Italian brands Omsa,
Pierre Mantoux, Philippe Matignon and Filodoro; and Gatta and Marylin of Poland
Launched last year by Invista, LYCRA Fusion
fibre is described as a ?revolutionary patent-pending technology that provides
an ultimate run-resistant quality to any hosiery product thus preventing
scratches which can result in damaging runs?. The first commercial run
resistant products
based on a melt-spun fusing yarn are already available. However, it has
been
reported that these products have limitations, in that they cause
difficulties
and inefficiencies in the garment making process, and there is also no
independence between their elasticity and fusing power. With Fusion
technology,
Invista says it?s possible to achieve the same elasticity uniformity and
power
tension of normal Lycra.
