The World's Lightest Functional Fiber, POLYCOLON
Leading Innovation in Sportswear
The advancement of functional fibers has significantly impacted the development of modern sportswear, and at the forefront of this innovation is POLYCOLON®. Developed by Schoeller Spinning Group, POLYCOLON® has become an essential material in sports, outdoor, and underwear segments due to its lightweight and exceptional functionality. This fiber offers not only lightness but also breathability, sweat resistance, and ease of care.
Let’s explore POLYCOLON®.
The most notable feature of POLYCOLON® is its resistance to moisture absorption. With very low surface tension, it does not absorb moisture and dries quickly. This characteristic allows POLYCOLON® to maintain comfort even in humid environments. Produced using a special yarn manufacturing process, POLYCOLON® does not stick to the skin when wet and quickly wicks away sweat and moisture, reducing the risk of blisters. This plays a crucial role in providing optimal comfort during sports activities.
POLYCOLON® also has the advantage of being easy to care for. It can be machine washed at temperatures up to 95°C without any issues, and frequent washing does not affect the product's functionality, color, or dimensional stability. This helps users keep the product in top condition for an extended period.
POLYCOLON® is an innovative European-quality product from the Schoeller Group, produced in compliance with strict ecological standards and sustainability. It meets the demanding standards of Central European society at all stages of procurement and production and proudly boasts the excellent quality of European functional yarns.
Above all, POLYCOLON® holds the title of the world's lightest functional fiber. It is approximately 40% lighter than cotton and about 35% lighter than polyester. Its lightweight nature even allows it to float on water. These properties contribute greatly to the reduction in weight and enhancement of functionality in sportswear, enabling athletes and outdoor enthusiasts to achieve better performance.
