Teijin Fibers will showcase high-comfort, high-performance polyester products at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2012, held at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, from August 2-5.

Its booth will feature products that respond to increasing demands for clothing that functions as both high-performance sportswear and comfortable daily-use, multipurpose wear.

The Japanese company’s collection will include its new Anti-sweat Comfort fabric, which offers enhanced absorption, quick drying and prevention of both chill and stickiness. Its three-layer structure consists of an inner, fully hydrophobic layer of moisture-repellent polyester fibres, a middle moisture-absorption layer and an outer moisture-diffusion layer.

Its Odor-Control fabric helps to prevent odours and stains that are produced by bacteria. Its modified polyester polymer provides an intrinsically hydrophobic state for localized hydrophilic properties and mild acidity on the fibre’s surface. As a result, the fabric maintains its mildly acidic pH level even when the wearer is perspiring.

The company’s Comfort Knit fabric offers softness, durability and snag resistance, as well as flexibility and ultraviolet protection. It also has excellent wind-blocking properties due to its dense, flat-knit surface.
