8. FIBRE PROPERTIES
HYGRA KILLAT N DACRON LYCRA 25 ROECA /
LEOFEEL
TRIACTOR
 Sheath core
type filament
yarn
composed of
fibre made
from water
absorbing
polymer and
nylon
 It can absorb
35 times more
water of it’s
own weight
and has quick
release
property
 Nylon core
gives tensile
strength and
dimensional
stability
 Nylon hollow
filament
 Hollow
portion gives
good water
absorbency
and warmth
retentive
property
 spun as
bicomponent
filament yarn
with soluble
polyester
copolymer as
the core
portion and
nylon as the
skin portion.
 Superior for
wicking
action,
drying time,
moisture
absorption
and transport
 High speed
evaporation
of
perspiration
 Long chain
polymer
composed of
at least 85%
segmented
polyurethane
 Finds wide
range of
application as
swimwear,
active
sportswear
and floor
gymnastics
 Polyether
type spandex
made by dry
spinning
 Combination
of Roica and
Leofeel gives
a soft touch
and excellent
stretch
 Mainly used
in swim wear
.
 Composed of
polyester with
modified
cross-section
 Quick
perspiration
absorbance by
capillary
action
 Quick drying
due to
hydrophobic
nature of
polyester and
large surface
area

9. STRUCTURAL DESIGN
ENTRANT
DERMIZAX EV
H20FF COOLMAX NAVIA FIELDSENSOR
• Feather smooth
texture with durable
water repellency such
as 20,000 mm of
water pressure
resistance and
moisture permeability
of 30,000 g/m2 /24
hrs.
• Polyester
microfibre
fabric with a
unique high-
density weave
structure
• Millions of
microcrimped
fibre loops
• Superb and
durable water
repellency,
superior
breathability,
wind-chill
resistance and
attractiveness
with soft hand.
• Better evaporation
• Dries faster than
any other fabric
• Superior moisture
management
• Spend less energy
to cool our body,
which increases
performance and
endurance
• Requiring no
chemical
treatments
• Composed of navia
yarn with nylon
microfibre
• Naiva yarn
composition is 55%
Eval (23% ethylene
+ 32% vinyl
alcohol) and 45%
nylon.
• nylon micro loops
on the surface
• good moisture
permeability,
lightweight,
softness
• Successfully used
in mountaineering
wear
• Multilayer structure
• Absorbs and
transport moisture
by capillary action
• Coarse denier yarn
in inside and fine
denier hydrophobic
polyester yarn in a
mesh construction
on the outer surface
to accelerate quick
evaporation of
sweat
ENTRANT HB
Hybrid structure
integrates the
advantages offered by a
coating (well-balanced
moisture permeability)
and lamination (high
waterproofness)
ENTRANT G II
3-Layered
polyurethane coating
membrane including
two different
microporus layer.

10. CONCLUSIONS
High-functional fibres and smart materials
providing strong focus in the field of Sports Textile
