Tokyo, Japan --- Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the Teijin Group's fiber and products converting company, announced today that it will showcase a range of high-performance fabrics at Performance Days, a show that introduces functional fabrics for sportswear, athleisure, corporate wear and workwear. The show will take place at Messe Munchen in Munich, Germany on May 8 and 9.

The Teijin Frontier stand (No. I 10) will present hybrid materials that offer excellent combinations of performance, appearance and texture for sportswear. It will also introduce various environmentally friendly materials, including recycled fibers, bio-derived materials and fluorocarbon-free durable water-repellent materials.

Specific exhibits will include the following:

• DELTAPEAK®
  

  This next-generation fabric closely integrates physical properties, functionality and quality. Along with softness, durability and elasticity, its dense, flat-knit surface provides ultraviolet protection, anti-transparency and snag resistance.

• Octa® Tricot Fabric

  Teijin Frontier's new line in the Octa series is a bulky tricot material featuring an integrated structure for insulation and lining, with Octa used for the fabric's pile surface. Octa offers a unique, highly modified cross section of eight projecting fins aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fiber.

• SOLOTEX®

  This polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber is highly soft, stretchable, shape retaining and durable. As a partially bio-derived material, it also helps to conserve fossil resources. The exhibit will additionally present a new textile for mass production developed by a Teijin Frontier group's manufacturer in Thailand.

• Fluorocarbon-free durable water-repellent materials

  Teijin Frontier has lineups of fluorocarbon-free durable water-repellent materials. Fluorocarbon is a halocarbon in which certain hydrogen atoms are replaced with fluorine, which is a greenhouse gas targeted under the Kyoto Protocol and thought to be harmful to the human body as well the environment.
