AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–At the upcoming Kingpins Amsterdam tradeshow, The LYCRA Company will be
showcasing fabrics with its latest sustainable offerings, including LYCRA^®
fiber 166L which was recently awarded a Gold Level Material Health
Certificate by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

“By specifying LYCRA^® fiber 166L in denim and woven fabrics,
mills, brands, and retailers can be assured of transparency about the
product’s ingredients and suppliers as well as The LYCRA Company’s
commitment to continuously improving the sustainability profile of its
products,” says Jean Hegedus, ready-to-wear director for The LYCRA
Company. The 166L fiber is produced at The LYCRA Company’s plants in
China, Singapore, and Northern Ireland and is widely available.

In addition to LYCRA^® fiber 166L, the company will also
display customers’ fabrics made with its EcoMade technology, including
LYCRA^® T400^® and COOLMAX^® fibers. The
EcoMade versions of these products offer the same performance benefits
as their standard counterparts, while being made partly from recycled
materials. The latest innovation to be launched within this group is
COOLMAX^® Natural Touch technology, which uses a patented
composite yarn structure to deliver enhanced moisture management and a
natural appearance and hand.

“We’re very excited about the prospects for COOLMAX^® Natural
Touch technology,” Hegedus said. “We previewed the concept at the last
Kingpins show and since then, we’ve seen a very positive response.”

Tradeshow guests are invited to stop by The LYCRA Company stand to see
the latest innovations. The Kingpins Show will take place on April 10-11
at The Gashouder Building, Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam. Hours are from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday.
