Abstract
A process for treating pantyhose in a cryogenic processor to produce cryogenically treated pantyhose that have enhanced wearing qualities is described. In this regard, one such process, among others, can be broadly summarized by the following steps: reducing the temperature of the pantyhose to between about −80° C. and about −240° C. over about a 1 to 6 hour time period; holding the temperature of the pantyhose between about −80° C. and about −240° C. for a 6 to 48 hour time period; and allowing the pantyhose to increase in temperature to about 25° C. over a 3 to 48 hour time period. The cryogenic treatment of pantyhose results in enhanced wearing qualities.
