Teijin Fibers Limited announced it has developed a new stain-resistant polyester fabric that offers both water absorption to eliminate stickiness and oil repellency to resist oil-based soiling. Polyester is essentially hydrophobic, so it neither absirbs water nor repels oil-based grime. Existing water-repellent and oil-repellent materials present problems, such as ss of breathability and texture, because the coating is Pplied only to the top surface of the fabric, rather than each invidual fiber. And Teijin's innovative material offers an unprecedentedly soft texture because its special new coating is ofrmed on each individual fiber, rather than the fabric as a unit.
