Invista’s Cordura brand is set to showcase its durable fabric innovations at the Techtextil Show, from May 4 to 7, 2015 in Frankfurt.

The recent innovations to be displayed include a new range of Cordura brand qualifying fibres designed primarily for the development of durable hi-vis knitted and woven fabrics. The high tenacity polyester fibre range is air-jet textured for enhanced abrasion resistance and tensile and tear strength. Finished Cordura fabrics made using these qualifying fibres can be printed, laminated, or used in uncoated forms and are suited for products such as outdoor clothing, high performance sportswear, and safety footwear, the company said in a statement.

The latest advancements in tactical gear and apparel featuring No Melt No Drip Cordura NYCO uniform fabric and Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN) Cordura classic fabrics for enhanced Near Infrared protection will be on display at the expo. Cordura NYCO fabric is based on an intimate blend of cotton and Invsita’s T420 nylon 6.6 fibre. It offers comfortable durability in military and tactical uniforms while providing abrasion resistance and No Melt No Drip thermal protective performance.

Latest developments in Cordura fabrics from mill HoYu offering durable stretch functionality will be available. These Cordura classic 500D nylon 6,6 fabrics combine excellent abrasion resistance with the stretch recovery performance of Invista’s Lycra T400 fibre and are used in high performance apparel such as workwear reinforcement and motorcycle garments. The Cordura fabric collection features a range of rugged, comfort flex solutions such as 4-way stretch Cordura Naturalle fabrics from mill Labtex and bi-directional stretch fabrics combined with Coolmax fibre from mill Minlan suitable for sports and outdoor active apparel.

Known for its resistance to abrasions, tears and scuffs, Cordura fabric is a primary ingredient in many of the world’s leading high-performance gear and apparel products ranging from luggage, upholstery, and backpacks to footwear, military equipment, tactical wear, workwear and performance apparel.
