Spandex is a synthetic fiber. It is typically made through one of four processes including melt extrusion, reaction spinning, solution dry spinning, and solution wet spinning. Most of the spandex produced is done so using the solution dry spinning method. In the dry spinning method, a macro glycol with a diisocyanate monomer to produce a prepolymer. The prepolymer is then reacted with an equal amount of diamine. The resulting solution is then cured into fibers and forced through a spinneret. Once the solution is passed through the spinneret, it forms strands of liquid polymer which is heated in the presence of nitrogen and a liquid solvent. This forms strands of solid fiber which are bundled together to a desired thickness. The strands are then treated with a finishing agent. For clothing, spandex is often mixed with either cotton or polyester.
Concentrate on drawing what is in the spandex. If you get that right, then drawing spandex won't matter.
Spandex was invented in 1959 by Joseph Shivers, a chemist working for the chemical giant Du Pont. Spandex was invented in 1959 by Joseph Shivers, a chemist working for the chemical giant Du Pont.
It is possible to spray paint materials that are similar to Spandex, but the paint should be latex based so that it does not crack. Regardless of the type of paint used, the Spandex materials will need to be stable for paint to adhere well.

Those are the regular shorts. Not the spandex ones. These are just like your average everyday shorts that you wear. "Board Shorts" is sort of a slang term.
Spandex tights are quite simply made of the material spandex. Spandex is an elastic material which is durable and can be stretched which is why it is used for certain sports uniforms in sports that require quick and frequent motions and movements.
most usually spandex
Spandex is a synthetic fiber. There are different types of Spandex fabric. The two most common is Two-way Spandex and Four-way Spandex.
Spandex polymers are composed of three different monomers. Dialcohol monomers make up the rubbery, soft part of the polymer while diamine and diisocyanate monomers make up the rigid, hard part of the polymer. The three monomers of spandex therefore are dialcohol, diamine and diisocyanate.
Yes some spandex is waterpoof
Lycra is a brand name for spandex. Spandex is a synthetic fiber made primarily from a polyurethane polymer. It is a competitor to the natural material latex.
Jeans are made from denim. There are some spandex added to most jeans to make them stretch really well. Spandex is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. So basically, the two main ingredients of jeans are denim and spandex.
Usually you can get spandex shorts from volleyball tournaments
The translation for spandex in Spanish is: licra.
Spandex is a synthetic fibre.
no, spandex is completely flame retardant. the only way to prove it for sure is to wear spandex and light yourself on fire.
No, spandex is a synthetic fibre. Or 'man made'.
