South Korean specialty fibre producer Hyosung has expanded its reach into the functional textile markets through a partnership with Black Yak, which develops products for the outdoor market. Under the terms of the partnership, both the companies will jointly undertake development of new products as well as joint marketing.

Hyosung products for functional textiles include Freshgear and Aerowarm both of which are polyester and Creora Fresh which is spandex.

According to the fibre manufacturer, Freshgear and Creora Fresh remove effectively the reasons causing smell of sweat, and give comfortable sense of wearing.

While, Aerowarm improves warmth retaining, but is also light as it can contain air, and is suitable for outdoor activities in winter as it absorbs sweat and dries quickly.

“Through this partnership, we will further widen further our ground as a premium textile maker through strengthening partnership with client companies and endless development of technologies,” Hyosung's head of textile Cho Hyun-joon said. (AR)
