Fabric Technology

	What makes 3M Thinsulate Insulation so effective? It is all in the fibers. Insulations work in two ways, first by trapping air; the more air trapped, the more efficient the insulation. Second, Thinsulate works by reflecting back the body radiant heat. The unique microfibers of Thinsulate insulation are about ten times smaller the fibers of most other synthetic insulations, which mean they are much more efficient at trapping air, and more effective at keeping you warm and comfortable. It also means more fibers can be packed into the same space, where they can reflect back more of the body radiant heat. The performance of Thinsulate insulation is unaffected by dry cleaning and repeated machine washing.

	Lycra is a man-made elastane fiber. Never used alone but always blended with other fibers, it has unique stretch and recovery properties. Lycra fiber adds comfort, fit and shape retention, durability and movement freedom.

	TACTGUARD fabric protector provides stains and soil repellency. It is wind and water repellent, has a brushed finish that provides a good feel to the touch, and produces very little sound during movement. Teflon, or polytetrafluoroethylene, is inserting to virtually all chemicals and is considered the most slippery material in existence. These properties have made it one of the most valuable and versatile technologies ever discovered, contributing to significant advancements in areas such as aerospace, communications, electronics, industrial processes, and architecture.
	A water resistant and breathable outer shell that helps to keep you dry. A process that we use to create a breathable water-resistant fabric. Our fabric is treated with a microporous layer that prevents the fabric from absorbing any type of moisture from rain or snow. At the same time allowing vapor from perspiration to escape and evaporate. This keeps you warm, comfortable, and dry.
	A fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer shell that protects you from the elements while allowing perspiration out. The shell works by keeping out larger water droplets, but allows water vapor molecules from perspiration to escape through a semi-permeable membrane filled with billions of tiny microscopic pores. To keep you comfortable and warm in the windiest conditions, ClimaTact TM has been engineered to provide an impenetrable wind shield against wind-chill. Your product breathes, but water and wind stay out.
	To meet consumer demand for fashion combined with function, WICKTACT Specialty Chemicals has developed solutions that combine different effects, such as moisture management, freshness finishes, and bright colors. The new Ultraphil moisture management agent is designed to enhance the comfort and performance of the end product by providing improved wicking and moisture transport away from the body thus increasing comfort and softness. It also reduces static cling, thus improving soil release to help maintain a garmen new look even longer. It keeps garments drier to the touch and thus they feel less tacky, creating a natural microclimate system which allows sports and active wear garments to breathe naturally, which can reduce post-exercise chill.
	Supercrease is a patented permanent creasing treatment that can be applied to formal wear and dress wear to keep a freshly pressed look to the garment. Supercrease promotes its product with clothing and textile manufacturers, retailers and alteration shops, and dry cleaners.
