Octa®CPCP® used as fleece
The outdoor wear and active insulation categories have expanded rapidly in recent years.
Overseas brands were mainly taking the lead in product development. One such active insulation filling material is TEIJIN Octa®CPCP®, a material that is lightweight and has high heat retention ability.
For STATIC, we chose to use a single piece of Octa®CPCP®, which is normally a nylon lining material. We believe that the products of brands developed in high-altitude, dry climates are heavy because they are packed with Octa®CPCP® shell material, making them difficult to layer in Japan, where people often carry them around as thermal clothing.
Due to its special mesh structure, it is much lighter than fleece, which is generally said to be thin at around 300g, and has a very high heat retention to weight ratio, making it highly portable, making it suitable for all seasons.
Adoption of recycled materials
Octa® fabric is composed of two types of fibers: polyester woolly fibers and polyester hollow octopus cross-section fibers.
Of this, 53.6% of the woolly yarn has been replaced with his recycled polyester (ECOPET®), reducing the environmental impact.
46.4% is regular polyester hollow octopus cross section yarn.
Through this recycling, compared to virgin polyester Octa®CPCP®, using the same recycled polyester material reduces CO2* emissions by 23% during fabric manufacturing. (*Calculated by Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd. CO2 emissions from raw materials (polymer) to fabric shipping)
What is Octa®CPCP®?
Octa®CPCP® is a mesh fleece material that integrates irregular cross-section hollow polyester brushed fibers that act as a heat insulator into the outer mesh material.
Polyester fabric is characterized by its lightness, warmth, and good heat dissipation. Usually used as a lining, STATIC uses it as a stand-alone fleece.
Material characteristics
- Lightweight: About half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter.
- Sweat-absorbing and quick-drying: Achieves a lightweight feel that is about half that of polyester fibers of the same diameter.
- Heat shielding: Dead air contained in the hollow space and 8 protrusions provides heat shielding effect.
