At the core of XLANCE®’s innovation is a cross-linked polyolefin-based elastic yarn, engineered to deliver durable stretch performance while withstanding the most challenging industrial treatments. Unlike conventional elastomers, XLANCE® offers superior resistance to oxidizing agents such as hypochlorite, laser, ozone, and aggressive wash cycles. Its unique polymer structure, combining a polyolefin backbone with chemical cross-links, ensures long-lasting elasticity, shape retention, and enhanced fabric durability.

Designed for industrial performance and creative freedom, XLANCE® enables manufacturers and designers to push the boundaries of denim finishing without compromising product quality. From vintage wash effects and laser etching to custom patterns and high-impact chemical treatments, fabrics featuring XLANCE® maintain their integrity, elasticity, and softness, even after repeated processing and wear.

One material. Endless possibilities.

XLANCE® is the bridge between performance and creativity.

It enables a new generation of stretch denim fabrics designed to move endlessly, without ever compromising performance. This is more than elasticity: it's intelligent reactivity. A fiber that adapts, responds, enhances. Designers are now free to push boundaries with advanced finishes, laser-etched vintage effects, custom patterns, and high-impact physical and chemical treatments—without sacrificing the fabric’s integrity.

Futuristic Fun, Creative Freedom.

XLANCE® is more than a technical innovation—it’s a mindset.

In the world of XLANCE®, jeans retain their original shape even after countless washes. Garments remain soft and comfortable, even after the harshest treatments. Every move is supported by dynamic, resilient stretch not passive elasticity.

It’s a universe of expressive and physical freedom. For creators. For wearers. For anyone who refuses to compromise on style or durability.

With the introduction of XLANCE®, denim manufacturers gain access to a reliable, high-performance alternative to traditional stretch fibers, ensuring products that retain their shape, comfort, and aesthetic appeal over time.

Industry professionals and visitors are invited to experience the XLANCE® innovation firsthand at PV Denim Milan, Superstudio Più, on May 21–22, 2024.
