INVISTA introduces the LYCRA T400 fibre brand into jobwear at the Expoprotection Fair in Paris (2nd – 5th November).INVISTA will be showcasing this innovative fibre alongside its CORDURA brand fabric offering at the Paris trade show, Expoprotection, the fair dedicated to risk prevention and management. Introduced to the textile industry in 2001, LYCRA T400 fibre is renowned in the ready to wear industry for its outstanding stretch–recovery characteristics, and is now poised to bring the benefit of durable comfort to the jobwear market.
According to David Capdevila, European marketing manager for wovens, the extension of LYCRA T400 fibre into jobwear garments was the next logical step in the products’ evolution.
Capdevila explains, “Garments with LYCRA T400 fibre meet the wearer’s needs for comfort, lasting fit and moisture management, all of which are important benefits for jobwear garments. The fibre’s excellent strength, stability and chlorine resistance make it very well suited for specific jobwear applications, and industrial laundering.”
What is LYCRA T400 fibre?
LYCRA T400 fibre is INVISTA’s trademark for its bi-component fiber. The fibre itself is made with two distinct polymers which shrink differently, causing the fibre to form a permanent coil. After being exposed to heat in the standard finishing process, the coil gets even tighter. Unlike textured fibres which rely on mechanical processes to develop their stretch, the physical coil-like structure of LYCRA T400 fibre provides durable recovery.
The LYCRA T400 fibre brand meets INVISTA’s high quality standards so customers can be confident that the brand will always meet their specific requirements of excellence.
