German textile producer Lauffenmühle GmbH & Co. KG joined with Invista’s Cordura® brand team to develop ‘Ultimate’ fabric featuring Cordura® fabric technology. The new fabric will form part of Lauffenmühle’s Protective Wear line of performance fabrics for workwear. Traditionally known as a reinforcement fabric for workwear garments, this new offering from Lauffenmühle brings Cordura® fabric into the protective wear market.
Lauffenmühle’s Ultimate fabric featuring Cordura® brand technology, based on an intimate blend of cotton and Invista’s T420 nylon 6.6 fibre, is treated with flame retardant technology. The Cordura® brand range of Ultimate fabrics comes in four weights – 260g/m2, 290g/m2, 340g/m2 and 360g/m2. Those of 260g/m2, 290g/m2 and 340g/m2 are available with the additional benefit of anti-static protection as specified by EN1149/5.
All fabrics in the Ultimate range perform to over 1,50,000 Martindale cycles with woollen abradant at 12KPa weight and have exceptional colour retention to laundering and bleaching, offering the durability that Cordura® brand fabrics are recognized for.
“This development between Lauffenmühle and Invista’s Cordura® brand team allows us to present an innovative product to our customers and end-users,” said Corona Bregenzer, Marketing Manager for Lauffenmühle.
