Blending
- Ideal blending partner with all major fibers. Preferred for blends with cotton and linen due to its similar dyeability.
General
- Fully traceable in all processing steps due to fiber identification technology.
Spinning
- Suitable for airjet spinning, ring spinning and their adaptions. There are some limitations for open-end spinning.
Fabric
- Recommended for knitted fabrics, however excellent results have also been achieved on woven fabrics.
Processing
- Suitable for easy-care finishing.
- Not positively affected by bio polishing processes.
- Suitable to dye with all common dyestuff and application methods for cellulosic fibers.
