DOW XLA CP elastic fiber is the world's first stretch fiber that is Chlorine Proof. It is inherently resistant to harsh chemicals, high heat and UV light - making DOW XLA CP fiber the premier choice for the swimwear market. While other products see deterioration with exposure to chlorine, DOW XLA CP fiber has the inherent properties needed to resist harsh chemicals for more than 1,000 hours - or longer than the majority, host fiber - providing the ultimate shape retention over time.
