-
Locked in color – resists ‘frosting’ under abrasion
-
Dull matte non-shiny appearance
- Inherent IR capability
- Resists color loss after UV exposure or washing

- 100% high tenacity nylon 6,6 filament fiber
WATER
Every 250,000 linear meters of fabric made with CORDURA® TrueLock™ fiber can save over 467,000 liters of water. That’s enough water to quench the thirst of nearly 500 people for a whole year or fill 0.2 Olympic size swimming pools.
ENERGY
Every 250,000 linear meters of fabric made with CORDURA® TrueLock™ fiber can save over 408,000 mega joules of energy. That’s enough energy to power more than 10 households for an entire year or an old school 60-watt light bulb for 216 years.
EMISSIONS
Every 250,000 linear meters of fabric made with traditional piece dyeing emits about 26,845 kgs of CO2. That’s the equivalent of driving a car non-stop for 4.9 years or driving around the world 2.3 times.
