WoolVisions among FabricLink’s top textile innovations
17/04/2015
Susan Lynn, global sales and marketing manager for CoolVisions, said: “WoolVisions is a sound choice for its environmental footprint, as polypropylene’s manufacturing process results in low emissions and no toxic wastes, compared with other synthetics, and polypropylene is resistant to stains and chemicals, requiring less home laundering.”
