Indorama Ventures Limited (IVL) will exhibit its CoolVisions brand of dyeable polypropylene filament and staple at the upcoming OR Winter Market/Snow Show in Denver this month. In addition, visitors to the CoolVisions/Indorama booth 55034-UL will discover new fabrics featuring IVL's IP intelligent performance range of specialty polyesters like Ecorama rPET.

 

CoolVisions will exhibit an expanded collection of fabrics from mill partners DaFon, Grandtek Asia Corp, Singtex, Wide Plus, and others. These include weft knits of CoolVisions dyeable filament with recycled polyester in innovative constructions that maximise moisture management and thermal performance attributes, as well as colourful wovens from Chia Her and Her Min, said a press release by IVL.

 

"Today there is a demand for more sophisticated functional fibres with appealing aesthetics, ease of handling, and a sustainable profile," said Susan Lynn, global sales and marketing manager, CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene, and global brand manager for IVL.

 

"CoolVisions dyeable filament brings these desirable qualities to the table, along with polypropylene's inherent properties such as moisture management and low moisture regain, thermal regulation, durability, bleach and stain resistance, and improved coverage at a lower weight," added Lynn.

 

Future developments include a collection of two dozen knits and wovens marrying CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene with Tencel Lyocell, which promises to offer exciting aesthetics and performance aspects combining the inherent benefits of both fibres, according to Lynn.

 

Produced in Thailand by parent company IVL, CoolVisions 70/72 dyeable polypropylene filament is Oeko-Tex certified. Options include CoolVisions standard for light to medium dyes; and CoolVisions Dark, which achieves deeper shades with less dyestuff on dark colours. CoolVisions dyeable polypropylene filament is available directly from IVL or their distributor, Reamou Co, Ltd, in Taiwan. (PC)
