About Fenc Loopflex Stretchstoff
Fenc Loopflex er et spandexfritt stretchstoff utviklet for sportsklær, fritidsklær og undertøy. Tekstilet er et monomateriale laget utelukkende av polyester, slik at tekstil-til-tekstil-resirkulering blir mulig og avfall reduseres. Produksjonen starter med termoplastiske polyesterelastomer-chips, som omdannes til et elastisk garn gjennom en løsemiddelfri smelteekstruderingsprosess. Garnet strikkes sammen med vanlige polyesterfilamenter ved hjelp av forhåndsprogrammerte spenninger, noe som gir to til tre ganger høyere kraftstretch enn spandexblandinger, samtidig som komfort og støtte balanseres.

- 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.
