Abstract
A thermosetting polyurethane-urea elastic yarn having a thermosetting ratio of 45-65%, which is obtained by reacting a polyglycol which has a number average molecular weight of 600-6,000 and which has hydroxy at both terminals, with a molar excess of a diisocyanate compound to give an isocyanate-terminated polymeric intermediate, reacting the isocyanate-terminated polymeric intermediate with a diamine compound to give a segmented polyurethane-urea elastomer, and subjecting the obtained elastomer to a spinning step. The thermosetting polyurethane-urea elastic yarn of the present invention has superior mechanical properties and high thermosetting ratios. When applied to knit fabric, particularly to thin knit fabric for panty hose, superior appearance of the knit fabric can be achieved.
