Features

Lightweight

Designed for hollowing through dissolution, Kilatt P enables 30% weight saving of resultant fabrics.

Water-absorbent but Quick-drying

A lengthwise slit quickly captures and releases perspiration, maintaining a dry and crisp feel.

Heat-retentive

The airspace of the hollow provides excellent warmth retaining property.

Unique Fiber Construction

Kilatt P has a C-shaped cross section with a hollow and a slit, obtained by dissolving a core component.

Comfortable Feel

The C-shaped yarn structure with a slit provides cushiony effect and crispness, making resultant fabrics pleasant to the touch.

Stretchy and Lofty

Before dissolution of the core component, Kilatt P has nearly the same physical properties as those of conventional polyester and nylon. This means Kilatt P can be false-twisted into various types of stretch/bulky yarns.
