While DELTAPEAK is ideal for outdoor, sports and casual wear with high durability and colouring properties, WAVERON features a unique cross-sectional shape consisting of four flat peaks, which enhance anti-transparency, moisture management and quick-drying. These features make it suitable for use in yoga wear and compression garments when mixed with urethane fibre, as well as inner wear and surface fabrics for wadding.
The company also exhibited its latest innovations at the recently concluded OutDoor Friedrichshafen 2016 in Germany. One more product that it showcased was Octa polyester fibre, which features a unique, highly modified cross-section with eight projections aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fibre and has rapid sweat absorption and fast drying properties.
