Heat setting “sets” the spandex in an elongated form. This is also known as redeniering, wherein a spandex of higher denier is drafted, to a lower denier, and then heated to a sufficiently high temperature, for specific duration. It is to stabilize the spandex at the modified denier. The spandex permanently changes at a molecular level and remains at the denier permanently. So that, recovery tension in the stretched spandex is mostly relieved and the spandex becomes stable at new and lower denier. Heat setting temperature for spandex, is generally in the range of 175 0 C to 200° C (Lay cock 2006).
