About Fenc Loopflex Tejido elástico
Fenc Loopflex es un tejido elástico libre de elastano desarrollado para ropa deportiva, ropa de ocio y ropa interior. El textil es un monomaterial fabricado únicamente con poliéster, por lo que resulta posible el reciclaje de textil a textil y se reducen los residuos. La producción comienza con chips de elastómero termoplástico de poliéster, que se transforman en un hilo elástico mediante un proceso de extrusión por fusión sin disolventes. El hilo se teje junto con filamentos de poliéster convencionales aplicando tensiones preprogramadas, lo que proporciona una fuerza de estiramiento de dos a tres veces superior a la de las mezclas con elastano, al tiempo que equilibra comodidad y sujeción.

- Production Technology
- It starts with TPEE chips, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, which undergoes a solvent-free melt extrusion process to produce high-performance polyester elastomer. The yarn is then knitted with regular polyester filaments into a mono-material polyester base stretch fabric using advanced textile engineering. This process incorporates an intricate inner structure and pre-programmed tensions ensures a balance of comfort and support, delivering optimal benefits in motion or at rest.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was replacing spandex while maintaining high stretch and recovery. We engineered a recyclable polyester-based mono-material fabric with the same elasticity. Achieving the right balance of performance, comfort, and sustainability required advanced material knowledge, precision knitting, and adjustments to dyeing and finishing processes. By overcoming production limitations, this innovation improves recyclability and contributes to a greener textile industry.
- Research
- Using material science and solvent-free melt extrusion, our polyester elastic yarn is produced with a lower carbon emission process and fewer chemicals than traditional spandex production. Through advanced knitting and fabric engineering, we have developed stretch fabric with preprogrammed tension, improving performance while supporting a circular economy in the textile industry.
- Inspiration
- Driven by the growing demand for sustainable materials and the rapid expansion of the sports and leisure wear market, FENC LoopFlex Fabric was developed to tackle the recycling challenges of spandex blended textiles. By reimagining stretch fabrics, advancements in material science were applied to create a high-stretch, fully recyclable fabric that adapts to life while minimizing environmental impact. Designed to be versatile, it fits a wide range of needs and lifestyles for more people.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Taiwan in 2024 and finished in 2025. It is set to be globally showcased starting in 2025.
- Operation Flow
- FENC LoopFlex Fabric offers high-performance stretch without spandex, providing versatility across various product applications. Ideal for sports wear ,leisure Wear and underwear, this innovative fabric delivers comfort, support, and durability while promoting sustainability, making it perfect for performance-driven and eco-conscious products.
