What fabrics are available for swimsuits

The most basic swimsuit fabrics are only three kinds of DuPont Lycra, nylon and polyester.
Introduce them separately:
1. DuPont Lycra: It is a man-made elastic fiber with the best elasticity. It can be extended to 4-6 times the original length. It has excellent stretchability and is suitable for blending with various fibers. It can strengthen the texture, drape, and anti-wrinkle.  DuPont Lycra with anti-chlorine ingredients will enable swimwear to have a longer lifespan than swimsuits made of ordinary materials.
2. Nylon fabric: Although the texture is not as solid as Lycra fabric, its elasticity and softness are on par with Lycra. It is currently the most commonly used fabric for swimwear and is suitable for mid-priced products.
3. Polyester fabric: a unidirectional and two-way stretched elastic fabric. Due to the limited elasticity, it is mostly used in swimming trunks or women's swimming split two-piece style, not suitable for one-piece styles. Fabrics that can be partially spliced ​​or applied with low unit price strategies.
Which swimsuit fabric is better:
The most suitable fabric for swimwear is nylon cloth, which is composed of spandex and nylon (nylon). This is also the fabric of professional swimsuits. Other fabrics are not suitable for swimming, such as cotton, but polyester is also used for swimsuits. The advantages of nylon-spandex swimsuits are bright colors, comfortable to wear, elastic, no deformation after repeated wearing, quick water dripping, easy to wash, and easy to dry. The raw materials of professional swimsuits are also the same, but the technical content in them will be higher, and they are generally treated with special treatment. For example, resistance reduction, water repellent treatment and so on.
