Doobon and Hyosun has chlorine resistant elastane elastane Noun a synthetic fibre that is able to return to its original shape after being stretched fibres and Kimberly-Clark's multicompartment yarn allows active agents such as skin conditioners to be released slowly in use. A polylactic acid polylactic acid /poly·lac·tic ac·id/ (-lak´tik) a hydrophobic hydroxy acid polymer that is formed into granules and used as a surgical dressing for dental extraction sites. fibre has better properties at high temperatures, and genetically modified genetically modified Adjective (of an organism) having DNA which has been altered for the purpose of improvement or correction of defects genetically modified genetic adj [food etc] → sheep could produce wool with less shrinkage and better handle and elasticity. A new route for making splittable fibres could mean lower cost, better quality and more recyclable fine filaments. Toray has degradable de·grad·a·ble adj.
