Exhibits on display
DELTAPEAK is Teijin Frontier’s next-generation fabric, which his said to offer a well-balanced combination of softness, durability and elasticity, as well as ultraviolet protection, anti-transparency and snag resistance due to its dense, flat-knit surface.
DELTAPEAK CR is a lightweight, thin, three-layer fabric made with water-repellent polyester fibres, designed to achieve excellent anti-perspiration comfort through enhanced absorption and quick drying to prevent chills and stickiness.
ECO STORM is a high-performance material that is both waterproof and breathable. It incorporates recycled polyester that is laminated to a thin but highly durable polyester film, making it an ideal eco-friendly fabric for outdoor clothing, according to the company.
Odor-Control – Type EP is an innovative polyester material, developed to offer stable pH control to suppress harmful bacteria by maintaining a slight acidic surface, similar to that of healthy skin.
Solotex is Teijin Frontier’s polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre that is highly soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and durable. As a partially bio-derived material, it helps to conserve fossil resources.
Eco-friendly fabrics
All materials that will be featured at the exhibition are environmentally friendly because they can be recycled with Teijin's ECO CIRCLE, the closed-loop recycling system that turns used polyester into new fibres that offer the purity and quality of petroleum-derived fibres, the manufacturer reports.
