About Fenc Loopflex 스트레치 원단
Fenc Loopflex는 스포츠웨어, 레저웨어 및 언더웨어를 위해 개발된 스판덱스 프리 스트레치 원단이다. 이 텍스타일은 폴리에스터만으로 이루어진 단일 소재로, 섬유 대 섬유 재활용이 가능해지고 폐기물이 줄어든다. 생산은 열가소성 폴리에스터 엘라스토머 칩에서 시작되며, 이 칩은 무용제 용융 압출 공정을 거쳐 신축성 원사로 만들어진다. 이 원사는 사전 프로그래밍된 장력을 적용해 일반 폴리에스터 필라멘트와 함께 편직되며, 스판덱스 혼방 대비 두세 배 높은 파워 스트레치를 제공하는 동시에 착용감과 지지력의 균형을 이룬다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- FENC LoopFlex Fabric is a spandex-free, mono-material textile offering superior stretch and recovery, and is fully recyclable. Unlike polyester-spandex blends, it enables textile-to-textile recycling, reducing waste and environmental impact. With 2-3 times higher power stretch, its revolutionary polyester elastomer and advanced knitting technology ensure comfort and support, redefining stretch fabrics for a greener future.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Different fabric types have different thicknesses and weight

- 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.
