According to Teijin, INDI5 polyester fibre is made with a highly dye and colour receptive polymer that bleeds like indigo-dyed cotton.
“It offers natural texture, and it can be partially bleached with a special process for colour variation, while special weaving technology also achieves denim-like texture,” the company added. (AR)
