Hello.
This is mammy from the ApparelX trend blog.
A type of textile that has become common to see these days is high-performance textile that has additional functions.
This time, I would like to introduce you to SOLOTEX, one of the highly functional textile.
SOLOTEX is a clothing fiber developed by TEIJIN FRONTIER Co., Ltd.
We use a special polyester material called PTT (polytrimethylene terephthalate).
Solotex has a spring-like spiral molecular structure that is different from ordinary polyester, and this structure is the key to Solotex's functionality.
The smooth feel of Solotex knitwear is said to surpass that of luxury cashmere.
The textile used is Solotex, which is extremely soft and smooth to the touch.
It blends well with natural materials, so you can bring out their quality without compromising their texture.
Its unique spring-like helical molecular structure provides high shape stability and recovery.
Therefore, even after repeated washing or folding, the item is less likely to wrinkle, so you can wear it without wrinkles.
It also prevents the shape from changing, so you can maintain a beautiful silhouette for a long time.
Due to the "spring-like spiral molecular structure" mentioned earlier, Solotex has high stretchability not only vertically and horizontally, but also diagonally.
As a result, even items that fit your body well will not feel too tight and will stretch freely to accommodate your movements.
Solotex can be mixed with other fibres to take advantage of the colour and texture of the material.
It is possible to add new functionality while blending in with natural materials, allowing it to be differentiated from previous fiber materials.
It is incredibly soft, with a soft and supple cushioning like marshmallow.
It also does not collapse easily even after repeated compression, and its fluffy volume quickly returns to its original state. It is also highly durable, so its texture lasts a long time. For this reason, it is also used as a quilt batting material for pillows, futons, and coats.
Although Solotex is made of polyester, it has depth and is capable of producing vibrant colors.
It is resistant to fading and can retain its fashionable, elegant colors for a long time, so it is used by many long-established outdoor brands and select shops.
Some of the polymers that make up Solotex are made from raw materials derived from plants.
This not only reduces consumption of limited resources but also contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
It is a material that can be used for apparel products with an eye to the future.
Next, we will introduce some of the Solotex® textile featured on ApprarelX.
This sustainable textile combines SOLOTEX®, which uses some plant-based materials, with ECOPET®, which is made from used PET bottles. Made with SOLOTEX®, which has a supple texture, and 40MVS spun thread ECOPET®, this slightly thin twill material has a dry cotton-like touch, light stretch, and good wash-and-wear properties.
Made from SOLOTEX, a flexible and elastic material that stretches in both vertical and horizontal directions.
It is slightly thin, and the uneven look that is unique to seersucker gives a refreshing impression. It is made of 100% polyester, so it is wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for at home. Since it is made of seersucker material, it does not cling to the skin, so it is recommended for the upcoming hot season.
It is made from SOLOTEX®, which has a supple and soft, bouncy cushioning, and features a matte, neat melange look and a dry texture.
This is a stretchy, easy-care utility material that is perfect for everyday use.
This twill fabric uses LAMPO polyester for the warp and TSOLOTEX for the weft. The material is characterized by its stretchability from SOLOTEX and its delicate texture and fullness from the vintage processing. Taslan processing is a special process that can make synthetic fibers feel like natural fibers.
A twill stretch fabric made with fully dull dull thread for the thread and flexible, stretchy Solotex for the thread.
This material is slightly thin and firm, and despite being made of polyester, it has a natural-like matte surface texture.
It can be used for a wide range of casual items.
How was that.
There are many textile that use Solotex, from woven fabrics to knitwear, and the texture and other aspects vary depending on the type of textile, showing a variety of different looks.
Solotex provides a higher level of added value to the items you want to make.
Please examine it by all means.
