Sandproof swimsuit material "Sandproof"

It will be summer in the coming season, it will be the season of swimming suit, but sitting on wet sand directly on the beach with wet bathing suits, or sitting on the sand in the shallow will put sand on the swimsuit.

, Toray has successfully achieved both high prevention of "sand adhesion" and excellent washing durability by utilizing the nanoscale processing technology "nanomatrix" which is the state-of-the-art technology.

I feel like this is a shocking swimsuit related technology innovation since the white swimsuit that can not be seen.

Details are as follows.

This processing technology is a technique to form a nano-sized functional agent film on the surface of each single fiber, and in this time, by newly designing a newly designed water repellent and oil repellent in a well-balanced and simultaneous film, fine sand And sludge of ordinary particle size (about 150 to 700 in terms of diameter) with seawater to prevent the penetration of swim wear by capillary phenomenon of mud and sand, It is said that performance deterioration due to oil type dirt such as oil is also prevented.

Since this process is excellent also in washing durability, there is sufficient sustainability of the effect, and even if some sand adheres, it can be easily removed by hand, and "sand biting" which is a phenomenon of sand entering into the fabric mesh " It seems that they also have the effect of alleviating it. Pretty strong.

And when I thought about how swimsuits to which this material was applied will be sold, it seems to be for the 2007 Spring / Summer season product. It seems that this year will not make it in time, sorry.
