Abstract: The present invention relates to a swimsuit 23 including an elastic polyurethane yarn. The elastic polyurethane yarn contains; 0.5 to 10 mass % of a cationic high-molecular-weight compound A having a number-average molecular weight of 2000 or more; and an inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B. The mass ratio of the cationic high-molecular-weight compound A to the inorganic chlorine deterioration inhibitor B ranges from 0.3 to 3, and a silicone oil is applied to the elastic polyurethane yarn. A fabric for the swimsuit is treated with water repellent finishing. The swimsuit 23 preferably includes an elastic polyurethane yarn whose ratio of fluorine (F) to carbon (C) on the elastic polyurethane yarn is 0.030 or more in an elemental mass concentration according to scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Thereby, it is possible to provide a swimsuit with high water repellency, low water retention rate, and high buoyancy.

Abstract: A fabric contains a polyester fiber and a polyurethane elastic yarn that are excellent in deodorant function of sweat odor and the distinctive body odor of the elderly. The fabric is a combined fabric including a polyurethane elastic yarn and a cationic dyeable polyester fiber where a deodorant ratio of ammonia gas measured according to the detector tube method defined by Japan Textile Evaluation Technology Council for 0.15 g of polyurethane elastic yarn is greater than or equal to 40% both after washing 0 times and 10 times, also a mixing ratio of the polyurethane elastic yarn is from 5 wt. % to 30 wt. %, and a mass of 10 cm×10 cm is greater than or equal to 1 g.

Abstract: In order to provide an elastic polyurethane thread with excellent antibacterial and deodorant properties as well as excellent color fastness, an elastic polyurethane thread is made which consists of polyurethanes which have polymer diols and diisocyanates as the starting materials, contains metallic phosphates in the range of 0.5-10 wt %, and has an emitted quantity of monoamine compounds with molecular weights of 120 or less of 100 ?g/m2 or more.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyurethane elastic yarn which is excellent in elongation, resilience, heat resistance, alkali resistance, chemical resistance, and capability of being dyed with a cationic dye and which is suitable for use in a stretch cloth, a wearing apparel or the like. The polyurethane elastic yarn comprises: an elastic yarn comprising a polyurethane mainly composed of a polymer diol and a diisocyanate; and a polymer of a compound having a sulfonate group contained in the elastic yarn.

Abstract: The present invention provides elastic polyurethane yarns which possess excellent elongation, recoverability, heat resistance and chemical resistance, as well as a method of manufacturing the same. The elastic polyurethane yarns comprise a polyurethane being composed mainly of a polymeric diol and a diisocyanate, and contains through incorporation a compound having within the molecule a phosphorus-nitrogen interatomic bond(s). The process can produce the elastic polyurethane yarns by adding to a solution of the polyurethane a compound having within the molecule a phosphorus-nitrogen interatomic bond(s), followed by spinning.

Abstract: Disclosed is an elastic polyurethane yarn which can exhibit excellent heat resistance even when an unsaturated fatty acid or a heavy metal is attached to the yarn during dyeing at a high temperature, and which has high elastic recovery and high strength/elongation. Specifically disclosed is an elastic yarn comprising a polyurethane mainly composed of a polymer diol and a diisocyanate, which contains (a) a hindered phenol compound, (b) an N,N-dialkylsemicarbazide compound and (c) a nitrogenated aromatic compound, wherein the nitrogenated aromatic compound (c) is contained in an amount of 0.01 to 0.30 weight % inclusive.
