UV-protective filament

High-performance fiber created by our unique fine particle kneading and core-sheath spinning technologies
General Name
Polyester filament

UV-protective polyester filament that uses proprietary fine particle kneading and core-sheath spinning technologies to highly suppress the transmission of ultraviolet rays.
Compared to ordinary full-dull yarns, a higher UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) can be obtained with the same fabric weight.
It also suppresses the transmission of infrared rays and provides a high heat shielding effect.

Features

Unique fine particle kneading technology

A large amount of special ceramics is kneaded into the core of the core-sheath structure.
