One Polymer and Many Options: PolyTHF

High-quality PolyTHF from BASF reduces breaks in the production of elastane and spandex fibers and helps in this way to avoid costly loss of production.
PolyTHF is the key raw material used to produce spandex fibers. It is a polymer which, depending on its molecular weight, solidifies between 20 and 30°C in a waxy-like manner. PolyTHF is transferred by further reactions into polymers with molecular weights of 40,000 and higher.


Top performance features:

  • Elasticity
  • Hydrolytic stability
  • Microbial resistance
  • Not allergenic
  • High abrasion resistance
