ANDOVER – Textile innovator Polartec has announced the launch of a fleece fabric featuring a new process which claims to reduce microfibre shedding by an average of 85 per cent.
Polartec's Shed Less Fleece combines yarn construction, knitting, chemistry and manufacturing to substantially reduce fibre fragment shedding during home laundering.
The first fabric to make use of the process is the brand’s Polartec 200 Series Fleece, the modern version of the original PolarFleece which was the first made from recycled plastic bottles.
