Industry News: Dow Fiber Now Being Used By Major Swimwear Manufacturers

NEW YORK, New York, September 26. DOW XLA ® now enables mills to produce bi-stretch swimwear fabric – fabric that is even more fitted, more comfortable, and lighter than ever before. Bi-stretch fabric allows swimwear brands, retailers and designers to create a new generation of performance swimwear to meet consumer demand. Because it is 20-30 percent lighter than traditional warp-knit fabrics, it not only enables a more fitted and tighter look, it is also chlorine proof, thanks to DOW XLA fiber.

Leading sports retailer Nike (Europe) has incorporated DOW XLA into its swimwear line, to provide unparalleled performance to competitive swimmers.

European market leader adidas is adopting DOW XLA fiber into its Infinitex swimwear offer. DOW XLA is the only chlorine proof stretch fiber on the market today delivering the ultimate shape retention over time.

London-based label State of Undress (SOU) recently introduced DOW XLA into its new swim collection, Bathe. Whether wearing it for sunning or water sports, DOW XLA fiber allows the swimwear to remain elegant, and functional, as it is naturally resistant to harsh chemicals, high heat and UV light.

TCN, a premiere swimwear collection from designer Toton Comella based in Spain, has weaved DOW XLA into its line, making it an unrivaled choice for the swimwear market. DOW XLA is the only chlorine proof stretch fiber, and the world’s first olefin-based stretch fiber that is naturally resistant to harsh chemicals, high heat and UV light.
