Other Synthetics - Textile Exchange

Other commonly used synthetics include elastane, polypropylene, polyurethane, and acrylic. Elastane (also known as Spandex), often found in products where some elasticity is needed, is known for its resilience and stretchiness. Polypropylene, used in fishing nets and plastic bags, is durable, lightweight and waterproof. Polyurethane, or PU, is commonly used in footwear and swimwear due to its flexibility, durability, and easiness to clean. Acrylic, seen as a cheaper alternative to wool, is crease-resistant and colorfast.
