Elasticity without elastomers
Italian circular knit manufacturer Maglificio Ripa has announced a new fabric plartform called 4Ever.
It described the new products as monomaterial stretch fabrics that deliver elasticity without the use of elastomer polymers.
The fabrics are either 100% polyamide or 100% polyester, available in single-jersey and interlock versions.
Maglificio Ripa said the new fabrics offer “a cleaner end-of-life pathway” and would allow customers to make garments that will be “recyclable by design”.
