The company will showcase hybrid fabrics for sportswear, combining the high function and the fashionable smooth texture. The stand will also exhibit Teijin Frontier’s environmentally friendly solutions that aim to conserve fossil resources and reduce CO2 emissions.

The products on display are environmentally friendly materials that can be recycled with Teijin's ECO CIRCLE, the closed-loop recycling system, which turns used polyester into new fibres that are said to offer the purity and quality of petroleum-derived fibres.

DELTAPEAK

Teijin Frontier’s next-generation fabric is 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.

Lightweight, Thin, Wicking Three-layer Fabric

This lightweight, thin, wicking three-layer fabric made with water-repellent polyester fibres is designed to achieve excellent anti-perspiration comfort through enhanced absorption and quick drying to prevent chills and stickiness, the company reports.

ECO STORM

ECO STORM is a high-performance material that is both waterproof and breathable. According to the manufacturer, it incorporates recycled polyester that has been laminated to a thin but highly durable polyester film, making it an ideal eco-friendly fabric for outdoor clothing.

Octa

This polyester fibre has a unique, highly modified cross-section with eight projections aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fibre, Teijin reports. Notable advantages include rapid sweat absorption and drying, and useful bulkiness.

Solotex

Teijin Frontier’s polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre is highly soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and durable. As a partially bio-derived material, it is also said to help conserve fossil resources.

Teijin Group

Teijin is a technology-driven group offering advanced solutions in the areas of sustainable transportation, information and electronics, safety and protection, environment and energy, and healthcare.

Its main fields of operation are high-performance fibres such as aramid, carbon fibres and composites, healthcare, films, resin and plastic processing, polyester fibres, products converting and IT. The group has some 150 companies and around 16,000 employees spread out over 20 countries worldwide.
