ADVANSA to show newest fabrics at Performance Days

BIOPHYL products using ADVANSA'S fibres and yarns are made with PTT, a special polyester-like polymer. In the case of BIOPHYL petrol based Glycol, has been replaced with Bio-PDO, which is made of corn sucrose. This resource is renewable and therefore reduces the dependability on petro-chemicals, which is the classical raw material for Polyester. In addition, the use of yarns made with such polymers contributes to energy savings and a reduction of greenhouse gases. In comparison to fossil-based Nylon, the production of this polymer consumes 30-40 % less energy and results in 50-60% less greenhouse gas emissions.
BIOPHYL fabrics offer additional values to the user: They are easy to care for and have a unique soft hand together with excellent stretch and recovery. These beneficial end-use properties derive from a unique, semi-crystalline molecular structure featuring a pronounced “kink” which gives special in-use properties superior to either nylon or polyester.
Silvia Toledo: “Since the launch, customers' interest in ADVANSA Thermo°Cool and BIOPHYL are significantly growing which proves that the particular demands on fabrics are met with our products. We are very content that many leading brands have already introduced ADVANSA Thermo°Cool and BIOPHYL in their collections, having commercial garments.
After the positive feedback we had from the last Performance Days we decided to participate again at this platform for new fabrics and innovations that is the ideal opportunity for in-depth customer meetings. We are pleased to present here our new high-tech range of insulation products ADVANSA Thermo°Cool and ADVANSA Thermo°Dry Performance Insulations to which many leading brands have already shown interest.”
