Specific exhibits will include the following:

DELTAPEAK®
Teijin Frontier's next-generation fabric offers a well-balanced combination of softness, durability and elasticity, as well as ultraviolet protection, anti-transparency and snag resistance due to its dense, flat-knit surface.

Lightweight, Thin, Wicking Three-layer Fabric
This lightweight, thin, wicking three-layer fabric made with water-repellent polyester fibers achieves excellent anti-perspiration comfort through enhanced absorption and quick drying to prevent chills and stickiness.

ECO STORM®
A high-performance material that is both waterproof and breathable, ECO STORMincorporates recycled polyester that has been laminated to a thin but highly durable polyester film, making it an ideal eco-friendly fabric for outdoor clothing.

OCTA™
This polyester fiber has a unique, highly modified cross-section with eight projections aligned in a radial pattern around a hollow fiber. Notable advantages include rapid sweat absorption and drying, and useful bulkiness.

SOLOTEX®
Teijin Frontier's polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber is highly soft, stretchable, shape-retaining and durable. As a partially bio-derived material, it also helps to conserve fossil resources.

The products mentioned above are environmentally friendly materials that can be recycled with Teijin's ECO CIRCLE, the world's first closed-loop recycling system, which turns used polyester into new fibers that offer the purity and quality of petroleum-derived fibers.
