What are the benefits of this new fabric?
There are a number of benefits this fabric brings to both the purchaser and the wearer.
• Using a blend of 100% sustainable, renewable and recycled fibres, we have created a fabric which offers performance and durability whilst contributing to the conservation of our land and society. • With a minimum of 25% weft (horizontal) stretch, the fabric will bend, flex and move with your body ensuring that your uniform does not become a hindrance to your mobility. • Using advanced innovations in stretch fibres, our unique stretch fabric is suitable for industrial laundry due to the patented fibre technology used. The fibre is highly durable and capable of withstanding the high heat used within multiple industrial laundry wash and drying conditions. • The filament weft yarn structure reduces the amount of fibre shed (when compared to a standard staple yarn) during washing,therefore reducing the amount of microfibres which find their way back into our water systems, impacting the health of our natural world • The nature of the composition offers a fabric which is quicker drying than our standard polyester/cotton blend fabric. This helps minimize the energy usage with shorter drying times.
• Our choice of yarns allows for a smooth and softer handle right out the packet, ensuring that you are comfortable from the word go!
2. H ow will this fabric improve the comfort and durability of the garments for the wearer? The addition of a high stretch element increases the ability to bend, flex and move your body ensuring that your uniform does not become a hindrance to your mobility. Our choice of yarns also allows for a smoother and softer handle right out the packet, ensuring that you’re comfortable from the word go! 3. H ow is Flex-Collection fabric different to other available fabrics which contain other types of stretch fibre? Our patented stretch yarn technology matches existing products on the market in heat performance. It can be industrial washed at 85°C and tunnel dried, not losing any of the outstanding stretch performance. However, the weft stretch performance is greater, at a minimum of 25%, than any comparable products and has a much quicker shape recovery when compared to other products, therefore a much better shape retention performance. Other products have a similar function but can only be washed at lower 60 deg temperatures. Elastane and Lycra stretch fibres are not durable to industrial launder conditions.
