RadiciSpandex Corp., the U.S. arm of the Italian global fibers conglomerate RadiciGroup, will have a presence at the RadiciGroup booth at the Expofil textile trade fair scheduled to take place in Paris September 23-26.

RadiciSpandex Global Sales Manager Gary Cass will meet with attendees to discuss the many benefits of Radici's multifaceted performance spandex products for the international textile and apparel industries.

RadiciSpandex Corp. is a respected supplier of quality stretch fibers with a wide range of end-use applications in apparel, nonwovens and industrial markets. End uses for RadiciSpandex fibers include swimwear, lingerie, activewear, hosiery, denim, sportswear, nonwovens, narrow fabrics, personal care, medical and industrial applications.

RadiciSpandex Corp.'s versatile roster of high-performance stretch fibers offer a wide range of features that enhance elongation, compression, shape retention and fabric appearance. Highlights of the RadiciSpandex range include:

• S17B – This versatile high-performance spandex boasts multiple features that benefit a number of end-use markets. Resistance to chlorine, UV rays and suntan oils makes S17B an excellent component in fabrics for swimwear. An inherent brightening feature, meanwhile, produces a pristine shade of white, which is a top-selling color in the bra market. The fiber makes fabrics print more vibrantly and is well suited for activewear.

• SRB – One of RadiciSpandex's newest innovations is a premium black spandex that produces a consistent shade of black, eliminating spandex grin-through when fabrics are stretched. This fiber, which also serves as a design element in fabric, is particularly attractive to the ready-to-wear, intimate apparel, swimwear, and activewear markets, among others.

• S85 – RadiciSpandex's versatile clear spandex has enjoyed longtime use in markets as diverse as legwear, ready-to-wear, circular knits, warp knits, medical applications, nonwovens and coverings. S85 offers excellent dyeability, tensile strength and shape retention.

RadiciSpandex's ISO 9001-certified facilities include its Gastonia base and a manufacturing plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The company is known for its personalized customer service and technical expertise, which has produced versatile, high-performance fibers that provide today's fabrics with excellent shape, fit and appearance. RadiciSpandex fibers are NAFTA, CAFTA, CBI, and Andean Pact compliant.
