ELASTICITY & PERFORMANCE

Relax – the fabric with the elastic fibre XLA by Dow is eminently suitable for making elastic and hard-wearing work wear. The fabric offers the wearer maximum freedom of movement. The flexibility of the fabric allows work wear to look good in every situation.

FIBRE & FABRIC

The fibre XLA by Dow is manufactured from lastol from polyolefin and is extremely resistant to heat and chemicals. Relax with XLA by Dow absorbs hardly any moisture and is resistant to UV light. Fabrics with XLA by Dow are easily processed – in principle, exactly like standard blended fabrics.

FLEXIBLE & DURABLE

With a good 20 % stretch, Relax offers long-lasting elasticity and thus optimum wearing comfort throughout its entire lifespan. The very good rebound properties of Relax – with a permanent stretch of less than 5 % – ensure that the fit is maintained and the garment looks good in the long run.

COMFORT & WELL-BEING

The high degree of wearing comfort that arises from the soft elasticity and the pleasant feel ensures a sensation of well-being in every situation at work.

PROPERTY & LIFESPAN

The resistance to heat and chemicals of the elastic fibre enables our Relax fabric to be dyed in a continuous plant. This guarantees outstanding technical values for shrinkage and pilling and optimum colour characteristics.

HARD-WEARING & EASY TO CARE FOR

Relax from Lauffenmühle is not only elastic, but besides a pleasant feel and soft drape, it also offers the same stability and durability as  non elastic fabrics of the same mix of fibres. Relax does not require any sophisticated care or washing processes and can be treated like customary blended fabrics – even in industrial washing facilities.
