Teijin Frontier, the Teijin Group’s fibre-product converting company, has developed a fine gauge knitted fabric laminated with a breathable film to produce thin, lightweight and breathable textiles. Textiles laminated with breathable film are widely used for highly functional sportswear due to their breathability, waterproofness, lightweight and stretchability. The company will sell its new material mainly for Spring/Summer 2019 sportswear. “Soft, stretchable knitting materials laminated with film will meet an increasing demand for comfortable and functional wear for multi-use, but conventional double layered knitting materials using crimped thread have limitations when relatively light or and thin materials are sought,” the company explains.
