Teijin to supply nanofibre for cycling gloves

27/02/2012
Japanese fibre producer Teijin Fibers has announced that it is supplying Nanofront high-strength polyester nanofibre for use in the palms of bicycle and motorcycle gloves made by Goldwin, a sport apparel maker in Japan. This is the first time for Nanofront to be used in bicycle and motorcycle gloves.

The gloves offer good grip thanks to Nanofront’s excellent frictional properties and soft texture. Nanofront also has high moisture absorbency, Teijin claims, and diffusion for added comfort.

Nanofront is a high-strength polyester fiber with a thickness of 700 nanometers. Nano-sized bumps on the surface of Nanofront raise frictional force and produce a surface area dozens of times greater than that of regular fiber, resulting in good slip resistance.
