Climate catastrophes have caused shortfalls in the supply of natural
fibres, there have been increasing difficulties in the wool market, and
there is a growing global focus on sustainability. These factors have
brought man-made fibres more into the foreground again – and mainly
polyester. The fibre manufacturer Trevira is meeting this trend with a
new fibre for high quality clothing, one that shows great potential in
terms of innovation, coupled with supreme comfort for the wearer, and it
is recyclable.
The new fibre is called Trevira Moisture Control and supplies these
requirements. Fabrics made from it have the proven characteristics of
Trevira apparel textiles, including very good pilling properties,
excellent fastness to colour, resilience and easy care qualities. In
addition, they offer an improved semi-dull appearance, firstclass soft
handle, and optimal moisture management, above all in 100% Trevira
qualities.
Research at the Hohenstein Institutes has demonstrated in terms of
appearance and comfort that in every respect a suit in 100% Trevira
Moisture Control matches a classic business suit in 100 % wool. Made
from the new fibres, the Trevira suit impresses with its elegant, high
quality looks, its very good wear properties and its standard of
comfort, assessed by Hohenstein as “very good”. Traditional synthetics
offer no comparison with these materials, which herald a new generation
of fabrics.
Wear trials conducted at airlines have shown that a uniform in 100%
Trevira Moisture Control guarantees the wearer an optimal feel good
effect, accompanied by high standards of resilience. The fibre profile
has a special dual channel system that accelerates transport of
condensation molecules given off from the skin, from inner to outer
layer. Moisture conducted onto the textile surface is quickly dispersed
there and evaporates rapidly. In this way the inner side of the textile
touching the skin stays drier, preventing an unpleasant chill effect.
Textiles containing the new fibres are ideal for use in corporate wear,
business clothing or sportswear. Trevira Moisture Control may be used
100 % or in blends with wool.
