Produced in Thailand by parent company IVL, CoolVisions 70/72 dyeable polypropylene filament is Oeko-Tex certified. Options include CoolVisions Standard for light to medium dyes; and CoolVisions Dark, which achieves deeper shades with less dyestuff on dark colours. Development in a wider range of deniers and cross sections is ongoing. CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene filament is available directly from IVL or their distributor, Reamou, in Taiwan.
Future developments include a collection of two dozen knits and wovens marrying CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene with Tencel Lyocell.
Susan Lynn, Global Sales and Marketing Manager CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene, and Global Brand Manager for IVL said that, “Today there is a demand for more sophisticated functional fibres with appealing aesthetics, ease of handling, and a sustainable profile.â€Also,“CoolVisions dyeable filament brings these desirable qualities to the table, along with polypropylene’s inherent properties such as moisture management and low moisture regain, thermal regulation, durability, bleach and stain resistance, and improved coverage at a lower weight.â€
