RESISTANCE
It
is graze-resistant with performances comparables to nylon and much higher
then other synthetic or natural fibres.
It
is not affected by the unsightly pilling caused by rubbing. It is more
tear resistant compared to natural fibres and can be exposed to sun and
heat for long periods without being affected in any way.
It
can be machine-washed up to 90° C; its colour fastness is remarkable
- obtained with mass dyeing procedures - even after frequent washing,
rubbing, immersion in sea water or on contact with high-concentration
solvents.
The
size is extremely stable - less than 2% alteration even after many washes
- in addition, it is self-extinguishing, thus is suitable for certain
applications in presence of fire.
