CoolVisions® has better chemical and stain resistance when compared to other fibers.
The fiber is much lighter providing better coverage with less garment weight and fiber content.
CoolVisions® has excellent thermal insulation properties.
Moisture management polyesters have engineered "channels" to transport moisture. To avoid the "blocking" of these channels, garments should not be laundered with fabric softeners or dryer sheets. CoolVisions® does not require channels for moisture management and is not affected by fabric softeners.
A wider range of colors including seasonal fashion colors are now available without having to purchase the large minimums required for specialty colors in solution dyed product.
Dyeable greige goods will facilitate significant improvement in production times and speed to market.
The cost associated with inventory for low volume, slow moving and obsolete solution dyed colors is eliminated.
Machine wash cold. CoolVisions® dries very quickly. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low permanent press cycle. Use cool iron if needed. Do not dry clean.
Filament yarns are now available as well as staple for ring spinning.
Performance enhancements such as anti-microbial properties are being investigated.
No. CoolVisions® processes efficiently on equipment currently in place in the textile industry.
The yarn spinning, knitting and weaving procedures for CoolVisions® are done in a similar manner to current pigmented polypropylene products.
