“Consumers want garments, backpacks, shells, and sleeping bags to be lightweight but long lasting so we expanded the MIPAN Robic high tenacity yarn collection to include fine deniers,” said Roman Park, MIPAN Robic product manager. “Higher tenacity extends wear life and protective performance for outdoor apparel, workwear, bags and accessories.”

The company will discuss its latest innovation at this week’s Techtextil in Frankfurt. Fabrics from Wonchang and Yunia mills of Korea will be featured at the event. Other fabrics are in development, including new blends with MIPAN Regen recycled nylon for higher tenacity plus eco-friendly benefits, the manufacturer reports.
