Elastomeric Fibers
Elastomeric fibers are those fibers that possess extremely high elongations at break and that recover fully and rapidly from high elongations up to their breaking point. The fibers are all used in specialized applications where high elasticity is necessary within the textile structure. An Elastomer is a polymer with the physical property of elasticity. The elastomer is a term derived from elastic polymer, which is often used interchangeably with the term rubber.
