With more brands demanding traceable, sustainable materials, Dimension-Polyant, a sailcloth producer and manufacturer of durable X-Pac waterproof laminates developed for packs and bags, will introduce its latest eco-friendly fabric offering, Oct. 4-5, in Booth Z14, Hall A5+A6 at Performance Days Munich in Germany.
The X-Pac VX21 four-layer laminate face fabric is constructed with regen Ocean nylon strengthened by Dimension-Polyant’s patented X-PLY fiber reinforcement technology made with post-consumer recycled PET.
A lightweight taffeta backing, also made with 100 percent recycled post-consumer PET, provides enhanced stitch holding. As with all X-Pac materials, the VX21 laminate is made in Dimension-Polyant’s 100 percent carbon-neutral plant.
The new laminate joins other X-Pac fabrics carrying Dimension-Polyant’s cleenTEC seal, which guarantees it is 100 percent climate neutral by including recycled or bio-based components with the added sustainable measure of having climate offsets directly applied.
Working with ClimatePartner, Dimension-Polyant calculates the total environmental impact of each cleenTEC fabric to offset its carbon footprint.
In addition to the X-Pac VX21 regen Ocean nylon introduction, Dimension-Polyant will present several additional sustainable yet durable pack and bag materials including its new X-Pac RX collection of mono-polymer fabrics made with a 100 percent post-consumer recycled polyester face fabric and X-PLY reinforcement.
The recycled polyester fiber is made from discarded PET bottles sourced in the United States. A lighter-weight polyester film backing provides a sleek, technical appearance. It is treated with a PFAS-free DWR. As with the X-Pac VX collection, the X-Pac RX laminates also are cleenTEC certified.
