Faybric's Nylon Spandex Fabric is a high-performance knitted stretch fabric engineered for activewear, leggings, swimwear, shapewear and fashion apparel. It offers four-way stretch, excellent recovery, a soft and smooth hand feel, and reliable colour consistency across bulk orders. Available in a wide range of weights, textures, solid shades and seasonal prints, it can be customized for compression levels, moisture management and finish. Produced in our Dongguan facility under ISO, OEKO-TEX, GRS, HIGG and ZDHC standards, it supports both small trial runs and large bulk programs.
Nylon Spandex Fabric, often described as nylon elastane or nylon lycra, is a knitted blend in which nylon provides strength, smoothness and a subtle sheen while spandex delivers elasticity and shape recovery. The proportion of spandex typically ranges from around five to twenty percent, and this ratio determines how much stretch, compression and bounce the finished fabric offers. In performance apparel, this balance matters: too little spandex and garments sag at the knees or seat, too much and the fabric becomes difficult to sew and may feel overly tight. Nylon itself resists abrasion, holds dye well and dries quickly, which is why Nylon Spandex Fabric is widely chosen for leggings, sports bras, swimwear and shapewear. Buyers should evaluate four-way stretch, recovery after repeated elongation, colour fastness to washing, perspiration and chlorine, plus shrinkage after dyeing and finishing. Our integrated knitting, dyeing, printing and finishing chain controls these variables under one quality system, giving international clients predictable results and easier approval processes.
