Characterized with the property of persistent fragrance, the fiber produces fragrance slowly released from the added plant essential oil, which will be the fascinating experience for consumers. Specific absorbent materials and scattering technology are adopted to build a slow-release structure in the fiber, which can ensure not only the compatibility between the absorbent and the polyurethane system, but also the stability of the slow-release structure to realize persistent fragrance.

1. What is Fragrant Spandex?

Fragrant Spandex is a specialized functional elastic fiber that combines superior stretch with micro-encapsulation technology to release pleasant aromas. It is an innovative solution designed to enhance the olfactory experience and emotional value of apparel for the wearer.

The fiber is produced by integrating microcapsules containing essential oils (such as lavender, jasmine, lemon, or mint) into the fiber structure or surface coating. As the wearer moves, the friction between the fabric and the body breaks these microcapsules, releasing the scent gradually and persistently.

2. Key Technical Characteristics

• Slow-Release Mechanism: The fragrance is not released all at once but is triggered by physical movement, ensuring the scent lasts through multiple uses.

• Wash Durability: Advanced micro-encapsulation technology protects the essential oils inside, allowing the fiber to retain its fragrance even after 20–30 standard washes.

• Aromatherapy Features: Depending on the type of essential oil used, the fiber can help reduce stress, enhance alertness, or provide a sense of relaxation.

• Skin Safety: The microcapsules are strictly controlled and tested to be non-irritating, ensuring safety even for the most sensitive skin.
