Octa®CPCP® recycled material
Octa® fabric is made from two types of fibers: polyester wooly fiber and polyester hollow octopus fiber.
Of this, 53.6% of the woolly yarn has been replaced with recycled polyester (ECOPET®), reducing the environmental impact.
46.4% is regular polyester hollow octopus cross section yarn.
By using recycled polyester, compared to virgin polyester Octa®CPCP®, CO2 emissions during fabric manufacturing have been reduced by 23%. (*Calculation by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. CO2 emissions from raw materials (polymers) to fabric shipping)
What is Octa®CPCP®?
Octa®CPCP® is a mesh fleece material that combines the outer mesh material with irregular cross-section hollow polyester brushed fibers that act as a heat retaining material. This polyester fabric is characterized by its lightness, warmth, and good heat dissipation. While it is usually used as a lining, in STATIC it is used as a standalone fleece.
Material characteristics
- Lightweight: Approximately half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter
- Moisture wicking and quick drying: Lightweight, about half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter
- Heat insulation: Dead air trapped in the space created by the hollow section and eight protrusions provides heat insulation.
