Abstract
The elastic fabric comprising a cross-linked polyolefin fiber, wherein the fabric has retractions both in warp-wise and weft-wise directions of the fabric of 8% or less after treated by dry heat at 65° C. for 30 minutes is disclosed. Also disclosed is a process for producing an elastic fabric, comprising: retracting a fabric comprising a cross-linked polyolefin fiber while dyeing the fabric, and then stretching or relaxing the fabric at a stretch ratio of 15% or less to finish the fabric with heat-setting. The present invention relates to an elastic fabric having an excellent chemical resistance and an excellent dimensional stability in the form of a product, which is suitably used for sporting fabrics such as swimming suits, leotards and the like, inner fabrics for ladies as well as outer fabrics, for example.
