What is chlorine resistant swimwear made out of and why should I purchase it?
Chlorine resistant swimwear is made with a newly developed material that combines numerous materials to make one hybrid material. The largest component is polyurethaneurea elastic fiber and it is the one material that is chlorine resistant by itself. Polyurethaneurea elastic fiber is made of small plastic fibers woven so tightly together that it prevents chlorine from seeping into the swimming suit. Additionally because the material is plastic it is not absorbent and chlorine will not be absorbed into the material. Often times this material is mixed with small amounts of nylon cloth so it is more comfortable and flexible. This modern material makes swimwear durable, long lasting and resistant to chlorine and even salt.
