Teijin Frontier, the Teijin Group’s fibres and products converting company, is set to participate in ISPO Munich, in hall C4, booth 306. ISPO Munich is the world’s leading multi-segment trade fair for the sports industry, to be held from February 3-6, 2019, in Germany. Teijin is a Japanese chemical, pharmaceutical, and information technology company.

The booth will showcase high-function materials that offer excellent combinations of comfort and performance for sportswear. The stand will also present recycled, bio-derived materials, and micro-plastics pollution prevention developed under Teijin Frontier’s Think Eco initiative for environmentally friendly solutions, according to a media statement by the company.

Teijin Frontier’s exhibit will include Deltapeak, the next-generation fabric that achieves a high-level integration of physical properties, functionality, and quality. Along with softness, durability, and elasticity, it also offers ultraviolet protection and anti-transparency, as well as snag resistance due to its dense, flat-knit surface. A newly developed Deltapeak that is both form-fitting and has natural-like appearance will also be exhibited.

Nanofront, Teijin Frontier’s high-strength polyester nanofibre, will also be part of the show. It has a diameter of just 700 nanometres, yet its surface area is several ten times larger than that of conventional fibre, resulting in positive-grip, low-slippage surfaces. It also is cooling, wiping, and non-transparent, making it a highly useful material for various fields, including sportswear and innerwear.

Teijin will display elk, the cushiony, durable, and breathable material which is an excellent substitute for polyurethane in a range of cushioning applications, including bra cups and supporters for sports. Cordley, a high-grade artificial leather that is lightweight, durable, and easy to handle, making it great for environmentally friendly sports applications such as balls and shoes, will be on display

Non-brushing and heat-insulating products that reduce micro-plastics will be exhibited, including, from the Deltapeak series, a sweat-suit fabric with a new type of texture that combines bulkiness and a soft feel, and a next-generation sweat-suit fabric combining a water-repellent outer surface and a water-absorbent inner surface.
