１．Main Exhibits
| Products | Details |
|---|---|
| Syndiotactic Polystyrene (SPS) fiber | A hydrophobic fiber with excellent quick-drying performance and a dry feel, capable of dyeing processing with heat resistance. It contributes to reducing environmental impact by serving as an alternative to conventional water-repellent treatments. |
| UV-protective fiber | A polyester filament with high UV shielding, heat-blocking, and anti-see-through effects achieved through proprietary fine particle kneading and sheath-core spinning technologies. |
| Anti-pilling polyester spun yarn | Made of Kuraray's original raw cotton with a soft texture. It has Sweat-absorbing diffusion, anti-pilling, and UV protection functions. |
| VECTRAN™ liquid crystal polymer fiber | A high-strength fiber that counts low moisture absorbency, heat resistance, and abrasion resistance. It can be used in ripstop fabric*1, which requires durability. |
| MAGIC TAPE™ hook-and-loop fastener Recycled type | A hook-and-loop fastener made of 100% polyester that includes recycled raw material. It maintains strong fastening even when wet, resists yellowing under strong UV light, and preserves the quality of the design. |
| CLARINO™ non-woven-microfiber fabric | High performance microfiber fabrics with an elegant but natural appearance and texture similar to genuine leather. |
| SEPTON™ thermoplastic elastomer | It has excellent grip performance and contributes to improved performance of foam such as midsole. SEPTON™ Q-series are approximately 30% lighter than TPU*2. |
| HYBRAR™ thermoplastic elastomer | Exhibits high vibration damping and shock absorption across a wide temperature range. |
| KURALON™ PVA fiber | A synthetic fiber made of PVA and has high-tenacity and -modulus, dimensional stability, hydrophilicity, alkaline resistance and UV-stability. It is used in many industrial applications. |
