The story behind creora highclo elastane

creora highclo H-350S provides higher modulus with outstanding quality, uniformity, consistency and knitting efficiencies in warp and circular knitting. As a higher power 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.
