Invista unveils Air fibre technology

01/08/2013
Polymers and fibres producer Invista has unveiled its latest product, Coolmax Air, at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City.

The fabrics are made from high-performance fibres engineered to maximise comfort with moisture-management performance, breathability and faster drying times.

“One of the key differentiators of Coolmax Air fibres from other standard wicking fibres is its patented cross-section that is propeller shaped,” said Heather Stefani, Invista’s global segment leader for activewear.

“This fibre shape allows fabrics to deliver superior performance and comfort through the use of modified polyester fibres with special micro-channel cross-sections. The combination of moisture management and increased air permeability helps improve drying time so that wearers can perform at their best.”
