Teijin Frontier Co has introduced a groundbreaking high-performance polyester fabric that combines the sophisticated look and feel of natural fibers with cutting-edge comfort and functionality.

This next-generation textile features yarns of varying thickness, creating a richly textured and visually appealing fabric ideal for both casual and fashion-forward apparel.

Developed using Teijin Frontier’s proprietary spinning technology, the fabric is made from a unique four-lobed, flat cross-section yarn with random thicknesses. This construction mimics the natural irregularities of fibers like cotton or linen, offering a refined appearance while delivering key performance benefits - including a cool-touch sensation, quick-drying properties, anti-stickiness, UV protection, and full opacity.

Aligned with the company’s sustainability goals, the fabric is made entirely from recycled polyester. It can be either knitted or woven, making it versatile for a range of applications across casualwear and lifestyle apparel. Teijin Frontier aims to launch the material for commercial use in the Spring/Summer 2026 fashion season.

The fabric also incorporates advanced technical features: moisture-wicking through capillary action, cool-touch performance enhanced by titanium oxide embedded in the yarn, anti-stickiness from surface irregularities, and UV-blocking enabled by its light-scattering structure. Special dyeing and finishing techniques give the fabric a natural aesthetic and soft hand feel.

Sales are set to begin in fiscal year 2025, with Teijin Frontier targeting a distribution volume of 250,000 meters by fiscal 2027.
