Abstract:
Dyed fabric compositions have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. The dyed fabric comprises one or more elastic fibers wherein the elastic fibers comprise the reaction product of at least one ethylene olefin block polymer and at least one crosslinking agent. Often the fabrics are characterized by a color change of greater than or equal to about 3.0 according to AATCC evaluation after a first wash by AATCC61-2003-2A.
Abstract:
Heavy weight stretch fabrics comprising ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer are described. The fabric often has a weight of at least 10 ounces per square yard measured according to ASTM 3776 and has a stretch of at least 10 percent measured according to ASTM D3107. These fabrics exhibit excellent chemical resistance (for example chlorine or caustic resistance) and durability, that is they retain their shape and feel over repeated exposure to processing conditions, such as stone-washing, dye-stripping, PET-dyeing and the like, and industrial laundry conditions.
Abstract:
Compositions having good wrinkle resistance and other properties when made into garments that can be made from an ethylene multi-block copolymer. The resulting fabrics and garments often have good chemical resistance, heat-resistances, and are dimensionally stable.

Abstract:
Knit fabric compositions have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. Said fabric compositions comprise olefin block interpolymers. These compositions allow for improved processability when manufacturing knitted fabrics.
Abstract:
Knit fabric compositions have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. Said fabric compositions comprise fibers of olefin block interpolymers or homogeneous branched ethylene polymers or a combination thereof. The fibers are characterized by an amount of crosslinking such that the fabric is capable of being molded.

Abstract:
Fiber and fabric compositions of a continuous scouring process and/or capable of being heat set have now been discovered that often have a balanced combination of desirable properties. Said compositions comprise olefin block interpolymers.
