Hyosung is launching a brand new product for swimwear collections called ‘creora highclo’ at the forthcoming Interfiliere trade show in Paris from 4-6 September. The new branded spandex/elastane is said to have superior chlorine resistance and longer lasting fit to meet consumer demand for quality, fit and performance in swimwear.
Creora highclo is engineered from the high power performance family of creora products and aims to provide higher modulus with outstanding quality, uniformity, consistency and knitting efficiencies in warp and circular knitting. According to Creora, as a higher power spandex/elastane, it is excellent for compression, shaping, and now, will retain its power longer after exposure to chlorine to provide lasting fit and shape retention. Creora partner mills with fabrics to be featured at Paris show include Sofileta of France, Cherry Body(Hong Kong), Hyunjin (Korea) Hungyen (Vietnam) and Huiyi (China). End user applications for creora highclo are competitive swimwear, aqua fitness and fashion swimwear.
