Teijin Frontier’s exhibit will include DELTAPEAK, next-generation fabric that achieves a high-level integration of physical properties, functionality and quality. Along with softness, durability and elasticity, it also offers ultraviolet protection and anti-transparency, as well as snag resistance due to its dense, flat-knit surface. A newly developed DELTAPEAK sweat–suit fabric, bulky, lightweight and extra-soft owing to its 4-dimensional structure, will also be exhibited.
The company will display OCTA, a unique, highly modified cross-section comprising eight projections aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fibre. Its notable advantages include half the weight of polyester of the same diameter, rapid wicking and drying, thermal insulation and useful bulkiness, making this another great material for sportswear. The exhibit will feature OCTA NEO, which offers a pleasingly smooth texture as well as OCTA functionality.
Teijin Frontier’s high-strength polyester nanofiber, NANOFRONT, will be displayed at the expo. It has a diameter of just 700 nanometres, yet its surface area is several ten times larger than that of conventional fibre, resulting in positive-grip, low-slippage surfaces. It also is cool, wiping and non-transparent, making it a highly useful material for various fields, including sportswear and innerwear.
Elk, a cushiony, durable, and breathable material, which is an excellent substitute for polyurethane in a range of cushioning applications, including bra cups and supporters for sports, will also be shown at the expo.
Teijin will display CORDLEY, a high-grade artificial leather, which is lightweight, durable and easy to handle, making it great for environmentally friendly sports applications such as balls and shoes. (GK)
