Finishes and Special Fibers
Finishes
Fire retardant
The elastic undergoes a chemical process that gives it fireproof properties. Fully passes flammability tests, such as FMVSS302.
Water repellent
The elastic undergoes a chemical process that gives it waterproof properties.
Sublimated
Printing by sublimation process, which allows the printing of photographic images. Only on products made of polyester.
Laminated
An application with a shiny and metallic look. A type of finish that simulates natural leather in different textures.
Tattooed
Different textures in high and low relief on the material are obtained through an engraving process.
Latex-Free
A stretch product. It is known as latex-free because it contains spandex, and is generally used for medical or skin contact applications. As a synthetic elastomer, it is more resistant to certain chemicals.
Fibers
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic polymer.
Polypropylene
It is a high-density monofilament with a high m/kg yield and good mechanical performance.
Nylon
Nylon is commonly known as polyamide. It is softer than polyester.
Cotton
Cotton is a natural fiber, soft to the touch and lightweight.
Short Fiber
It is made of short fibers (such as cotton and polyester) that are spun together to form a continuous strand.
