Teijin Group’s fibre products converting company, Teijin Frontier to participate in a leading international sports trade fair ‘Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2016’, which is set to take place this month.
Teijin Frontier to showcase products that are designed to meet the increasing demands for high-performance sportswear that offers comfort, daily-use wear and a combination of function and fashion.
The exhibit will also present Teijin Frontier’s initiatives for a more comfortable and prosperous future through environmentally friendly solutions that conserve fossil resources and reduce CO2 emissions.
DELTAPEAK next-generation fabric, which is said to achieve a high-level integration of physical properties, functionality and quality, will be on display. Along with softness, durability and elasticity, it is also said to offer ultraviolet protection and anti-transparency, as well as snag resistance due to its dense, flat-knit surface, the company reports.
The company will also present its DELTAPEAK TL all-new, highly comfortable and functional material that is designed to achieve the pile structure of toweling. Made of 100% polyester, it offers excellent water absorbency, a soft texture and a unique bulky-but-lightweight feeling, according to the manufacturer.
On display will also be PASMO high-tenacity polyester, which boasts 1.5 times greater tensile strength than conventional polyester to provide athletes with greater comfort and body support for peak performance.
Another exhibit is Octa Neo multilayer fibre, which combines the company’s proprietary Octa hollow, eight-fin polyester fibre with various chemical and natural staple fibres for diverse applications.
Finally, the company’s SOLOTEX polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre will be exhibited. It is a highly soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and durable material, which also is partially bio-derived, so it helps to conserve fossil resources, according to the company.
