Hyosung Spandex & Wujiang Yatai reach strategic cooperation

Recently, Hyosung Spandex, a leading enterprise in the spandex industry, and Wujiang Yatai, a well-known manufacturer of spandex-covered yarns and fabrics, formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two parties will conduct in-depth cooperation in multiple dimensions including spandex material R&D, supply chain collaboration, and market expansion, to jointly promote the high-quality development of the textile industry.

As the spandex company with the world's No.1 market share, Hyosung Spandex has always been committed to driving product upgrading through technological innovation and providing downstream enterprises with high-performance and high-quality spandex products. Wujiang Yatai is an outstanding player in the covered yarn and fabric industry, renowned in the sector for its excellent covered yarn technology, fabric R&D capabilities and market reputation.

The achievement of this strategic cooperation aims to integrate the advantageous resources of both parties, realize the whole-chain collaborative innovation from raw materials to finished products, and provide more competitive products for end brands and consumers.

As a model achievement of the technological cooperation between the two parties, two types of CREORA®HighPower & Recovery high-elasticity spandex woven fabrics jointly developed by Hyosung and Wujiang Yatai have been widely recognized by the market.

High-elasticity spandex is a type of spandex developed by Hyosung, featuring high elasticity, high recovery and high fatigue resistance. By applying special polyurethane polymers and unique spinning processes, it significantly enhances the instantaneous deformation rate, elastic modulus and fatigue resistance of spandex. When interwoven with nylon, it has acid-dyeable functionality, enabling excellent dye uptake and color fastness.
