Pertex®, the leader in lightweight technical fabrics, has launched the Pertex® Revolve™ collection. The new collection of fabrics have been designed for a circular future. Revolve™ fabrics use a mono-material construction, made entirely from recycled polyester, enabling them to be recycled at the end of life. Revolve™ fabrics are also entirely free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Conventional waterproof breathable fabrics are constructed from polymer layers like nylon, polyurethane, polyester, and fluoropolymers, laminated into a multi-material fabric. These fabrics are tough to recycle at the end of the product’s life due to the significant challenges of separating the different polymers into their relevant waste streams. Pertex® Shield Revolve™ fabrics are mono-material laminates. Each layer of the fabric is made from a single polymer — recycled polyester. Face fabric is woven from recycled polyester yarn combined with a waterproof, breathable polyester membrane and an optionally recycled polyester backer.
By evolving into a circular or closed-loop system, we can reduce our reliance on virgin fossil-fuel-based raw materials, minimize the waste of resources and reduce the overall environmental impact of fabrics. The introduction of Pertex® Revolve™ mono-material fabrics is an effort for a circular future.
Apart from the Revolve TM, the Pretex® has the following range of fabrics:
• Pertex Quantum
• Pertex Quantum Pro
• Pertex Quantum Air
• Pertex Shield
• Pertex Shield Pro
• Pertex Equilibrium
