Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the Teijin Group’s fibre-product converting company, has unveiled the Solotex Thermo, a polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) fibre, offering excellent thermal retention and insulation. The new fibre can be used in a wide range of applications, including jeans, pants and bottoms, and for more than just outer materials.
Solotex Thermo offers high comfortability, thanks to its softness, form-suitability and strechability. It absorbs near infrared sunlight and converts it to heat efficiently due to carbon-based inorganic particles mixed into the fibre’s monocular structure. Compared to conventional polyester fibre, it raises the wearer’s wind-chill factor by 5°C, as demonstrated in a sunlight heat-storage test conducted by Boken Quality Evaluation Institute.Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the Teijin Group's fibre-product converting company, has unveiled the Solotex Thermo, a polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) fibre, offering excellent thermal retention and insulation.
