Teijin Frontier to exhibit at Première Vision Paris
February 05, 2018 - Japan
Teijin Frontier, the Teijin Group's fibres and products converting company, will exhibit its latest advancements including top-quality materials Solotex and Deltapeak at the Première Vision Paris, a major global event for fashion industry professionals to be held in Paris during February 13-15. It will be Teijin Frontier’s sixth appearance in the show.
The “Teijintex by Teijin Frontier” will be located in the Fabrics. It will also have displays of eco-friendly materials. Teijin Frontier will also make its first appearance in the show’s the Wearable Lab area to display wearable electrode cloth and piezoelectric wearable sensors with fashionable design that is lacking in existing wearable sensors.
Solotex is a polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre that is soft, stretchable, shape-retaining, dimensionally stable and brightly coloured owing to its spring-like molecular structure. Several versions will be presented, including textiles with supple and unique textures. Partially bio-derived Solotex is an environmentally friendly choice for next-generation clothing.
Deltapeak is a next-generation polyester fabric that combines excellent physical properties with high levels of functionality and quality. Thanks to its dense, flat-knit surface, Deltapeak is a wonderfully multifunctional material that has been adopted by a range of global sports-apparel brands. Deltapeak is an excellent choice as a high-performance material for a wide range of applications including casual and athleisure.
The company will also display a newly developed wearable electrode cloth that integrates Japanese-style Nishijin brocade techniques and Teijin Frontier’s advanced production know-how, and another exhibit fusing traditional Japanese culture and state-of-art wearable sensing which showcases the world’s first piezoelectric wearable sensors developed by Kansai University and Teijin in the shapes of traditional Japanese-style kumihimo braded cords. In addition, Kimono accessories made by Ousyun Hasegawa, one of the leading kumihimo producers in Kyoto, Japan, will also be exhibited.
Première Vision Paris, held twice yearly, expects to attract some 60,000 visitors and over 1,900 exhibiting companies from 57 countries. (SV)
