In order to provide a polyurethane yarn having exceptional performance in terms of resistance to chlorine embrittlement essentially without the use of zinc, which is a heavy metal, and having advantageous application particularly in swimwear; as well as a fabric and article of swimwear using the polyurethane yarn, the present invention is a polyurethane yarn characterized in containing a partially hindered phenol compound having at least one partially hindered hydroxyphenyl group and a molecular weight of 300 or more, and a synthetic carbonate comprising one metal selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. The polyurethane yarn and other fibers are combined to yield a fabric and article of swimwear.

The present disclosure relates to an adhesive composition including a polyvinyl alcohol and a water-soluble polyphenol compound, to an adhesive containing the composition, and to a manufacturing method therefor. The adhesive composition has a low or no toxicity, can adhere even without a curing process unlike a conventional adhesive, enables the manufacturing of a gel by hydrogen binding characteristics between the polyvinyl alcohol compound and the water-soluble polyphenol compound, and retains adhesive properties in water.
