EME(Elastomultiester) T400

Elastomultiester is mainly used in woven fabrics, usually on weft, in a quantity higher than
20 % by weight. It is used as an alternative to Elastane to give elastic properties to the final
product.
Elastomultiester’s main characteristic is that it is a multicomponent fibre; in fact it is made by a
combination of different polymers and not by a single one. Nowadays the chemical
composition of available commercial elastomultiester (T400), independently from its linear
density, is 40 % polyester (3-GT type) and 60 % polyester (2-GT type). Two different polyesters
are joined together within each fibre. When exposed to heat, each component shrinks to a
different degree, producing a smooth and regular crimp that is the cause of the elastic
properties shown by the fibre.
The T400 fiber has a unique, snowman-like cross-section that can improve fabric breathability
and moisture management.
T400 fiber is encased with high grade cotton rendering a unique fiber for a lasting fit.
T400 fiber allows us to improve the performance of cotton fabrics to enhance comfort, shape
retention, and durability.

Fiber Cross-section
The elastomultiester (T400) is an advanced
double fibre originally developed for jeans. It
gently stretches and recovers in every direction
and creates a premium garment that retains its
fit, and moves with the user.

T400 fiber allows us to improve the performance of cotton fabrics to enhance comfort,
shape retention, and durability.
T400 fiber performance benefits include:
* Improved moisture management
* Outstanding comfort, stretch and recovery in all directions
* Better shape retention
* Higher durability to abrasion
* Wrinkle resistance
* Natural touch and appearance when used as a core-spun yarn
T400 fiber to provide better performance and style as compared to ordinary 100% cotton
denim fabrics and jeans.

Features:

* Twice as strong in weft as 100% cotton denim


* Freedom of movement
* High abrasion resistance
* Excellent garment Durability
* Long lasting fit
* Comfortable to wear
* Improve customer satisfaction
* Higher tear and tensile strength
