Cotton
Cotton is a natural fiber harvested from the cotton plant.
Polyester
Polyester is a manufactured product made from synthesized polymers. It tends to be very resilient, quick drying, resistant to biological damage such as mold and mildew, easy to wash, and able to hold forms well.
Spandex
Spandex, or lycra,is a synthetic fibre known for its exceptional elasticity. It is strong and more durable than rubber, its major non-synthetic competitor. Spandex has unique properties that make it well suited to certain applications, such as sports apparel. Spandex is able to expand up to 600% and spring back without losing its integrity, although over time, the fibers may become exhausted. Unlike many other synthetic fabrics, spandex is a polyurethane, and it is this fact that is responsible for the fabric's peculiarly elastic qualities.
Nylon
Nylon is valued for its light weight, incredible tensile strength, durability, and resistance to damage. It also takes dye easily, making nylon fabrics available in a wide array of colors for consumers. Today, nylon is among the many polymer products in common daily use throughout the world.
