Teijin Frontier Co.Ltd., the fibre-product converting firm of Teijin, a global group offering technical textile solutions, has announced today that it will participate in the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2017, a leading sports trade fair to be held at the Salt Palace Convention Centre in Salt Lake City, US, from January 10 to 12, 2017 in stand MR150C.

Teijin Frontier’s booth will showcase products that meet increasing demands for high-performance sportswear that offers comfort, daily-use wear, and a combination of function and fashion. The stand also will promote Teijin Frontier’s environmental initiative, THINK ECO, for environmentally friendly solutions that conserve fossil resources and reduce CO2 emissions.

Highlights of the exhibit will include DELTAPEAK next-generation fabric, which 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. The exhibit will present DELTAPEAK mixed with natural fibres, one of the fabric’s many variants.

Octa, which has a unique, highly modified cross-section with eight projections aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fibre, will also be displayed. Notable advantages include rapid wicking and drying, and useful bulkiness. Octa Neo is a multilayer fibre that combines Octa fibre with various chemical and natural staple fibres.

The company will show recycled nylon fibre produced by Taiwanese nylon manufacturer Chain Yarn Corporation turned into highly functional materials using Teijin Frontier’s original yarn processing, weaving, and dyeing technologies.

Teijin will display the SOLOTEX polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre, a highly soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and durable material, which is partially bio-derived, which helps to conserve fossil resources. (GK)
