Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the Teijin Group's fibre-product converting company, announced today that it will showcase a range of functional sports fabrics at Performance Days, a show for functional sports and work wear fabrics, which will take place at the MTC World Of Fashion in Munich, Germany, on May 15 and 16.

Teijin Frontier stand 112 will exhibit at the trade fair for the first time to promote its expansion into the international functional sportswear market. The company will present the following key products developed for added comfort:

Deltapeak

This knitted polyester fabric offers a combination of softness, durability and snag resistance, plus a number of other useful functions such as stretching, ultraviolet protection and anti-transparency. It also has outstanding wind-blocking properties due to its dense, flat knit surface.

Anti-sweat Comfort – Type CR

This lightweight, thin, three-layer fabric made with water-repellent polyester fibres achieves total anti-perspiration comfort through enhanced absorption, quick drying and prevention of chills and stickiness.

Eco Storm

This lightweight, high-performance material, both waterproof and breathable, features recycled polyester laminated with a thin but highly durable polyester film. Eco Storm is ideal for outdoor clothing, including shell jackets, sportswear and raingear.

Odor-Control – Type EP

This polyester fabric maintains its mildly acidic pH level even when the wearer is perspiring, satisfying needs for value-added clothing that is gentle to skin, prevents odours and resists bacteria and stains. It is a promising anti-bacterial, odour-prevention, metal-free material that eliminates the use of silver coats or any metal-based agent.

All materials mentioned above also are environmentally friendly because they can be recycled with Teijin's ECO CIRCLE, the company’s closed-loop recycling system that turns used polyester into new fibres that offer the purity and quality of petroleum-derived fibres.
