Invista, a leading producer of polymers and fibres, is set to showcase its performance credentials at Performance Days in Munich, to be held on November 8 and 9, 2017. The company will show a series of informative and educational workshops offering technical insights and guidance into the unique power, comfort, and energy indices of Lycra Sport Technology.

The workshops at this year’s Performance Days will demonstrate the “next generation” Lycra Sport Technology and how it is scientifically engineered to deliver exceptional comfort, fit and support to stretch activewear.

These workshops are a collaboration with key mill partners, powered by Lycra Sport Technology. Liebaert, a leading family-owned fabric mill based in Belgium, will present its recently developed and highly competitive NanoStitch Comfort Technology activewear line.

Penn Textile Solutions will run a workshop on the science of warp- knitted compression. Penn are always developing innovative fabrics combining technical apparel with real performance benefits using the Lycra fibre.

Fulgar will present EVO by Fulgar- “the 100 per cent bio-based polyamide”. EVO by Fulgar is a yarn made from castor oil, a completely renewable resource and a next-generation hi-tech yarn ensuring comfort and efficiency.

Sanko, a worldwide leader in premium yarns and textiles, will showcase a workshop around the Natural Blends for Activewear Fabrics.

In addition to the workshops, Invista will provide two yoga sessions powered by the Lycra Sport brand. A 30-minute informal lunchtime wellness and yoga sessions will be facilitated by yoga teacher, Mesimarja Paatero, creator of Ohx40, a leading yoga brand, on both fair days, in room R10.

The Lycra Sport technology combines the proven stretch of Lycra fibre with demanding testing standards that measure fabric performance descriptors on a simplified 1-10 scale of three indexes.

The Power Index measures the compression delivered by the garment’s fabric. The higher the power index, the greater the shaping or compression effect. The Comfort Index relates to the insight that consumers often complain about being uncomfortable in compression or shaping garments. The higher the comfort index, the more comfort the wearer experiences.

The innovative new Energy Index rates the energy exerted by the body due to fabric construction. The lower the energy index, the lower the effort needed to move the fabric, making it ideal for competitive sports activities. (GK)
