These coatings include Eclipse™ Microporous Coated Fabrics, Eclipse™ Ceramic Microporous Waterproof/Breathable Coated Fabrics, Eclipse™ Bi-Component Fabrics, Eclipse Twin Sensor™, Eclipse™ Barrier/Tech Fabrics, Eclipse™ Barrier/Fleece Fabrics, and Eclipse™ Microfibre Dense (MFD) Fabrics.
  EcoArmor - Developed by Moonlight Technologies, EcoArmor is one of the world’s first sustainable, 100% plant-based, air, plastic and fabric antimicrobial technologies that kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungus. The technology can be applied to any fabric type or embedded in plastics via standard manufacturing processes.
  ecorepel® - This wash-resistant high-tech finish, ddeveloped by Schoeller, does not negatively affect the environment during production or in its use. No fluorocarbons are used in the finish. It is biodegradable (in accordance with OECD 302 B (80% - 100%), passes Oeko-Tex® - Standard 100 test and complies with bluesign®. ecorepel® is based on long, biodegradable paraffin chains that wrap themselves as a spiral around individual fibers, filaments or yarns in a very fine film. This reduces surface tension so that water dropletsw and even mud with significantly higher surface tension runs off easily. The breathability of the fabric is ot affected and the feel remains pleasantly soft.
  Ecostrobe - Texon’s first insole made with 100% recycled content. Produced using 100% recycled PET and a special fusion-bonding technology that completely removes the need for chemicals or water, Ecostrobe offers game-changing possibilities for footwear designers that want to integrate sustainability into strobel applications, without compromising strength and performance.
  ecoZinc® - Developed by The Sweet Living Group, ecoZinc® is single additive technology that provides multiple benefits. ecoZinc® is a superior odor, bacterial, and UV protective product that is derived from an essential, natural, and safe element: Zinc Oxide. This safe and environmentally friendly alternative treatment for many synthetic fabrics is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and biodegradable. The incorporation of ecoZinc® into fibers and fabrics significantly enhances the fabrics' properties, thereby improving performance and usability. ecoZinc® forms a protective layer that effectively blocks both UVA and UVB rays, making it an excellent choice for outdoor wear and sun-protective clothing. ecoLink® also helps prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, making it particularly beneficial for use in medical textiles and sportswear, where it can help reduce odors and maintain hygiene and comfort. The ecoZinc® particles fill the gaps between the fibers, thus improving the fabric's overall strength and longevity.
  EMPEL™ textile finishing platform - Clean Chemistry, the foundation to a better long-term solution, uses Hydrogen and Carbon – the building blocks of everything found in nature – and eliminates the use of water. In traditional textile manufacturing, chemicals known as polymers are dissolved in water and then washed into the fabrics with a variety of complex machines. The problem with this old process, chemicals that wash-on with water, also wash-off with water. These water-based chemistries lack durability, uniformity and often involve many volatile chemicals dangerous to our health and our planet. Green Theme Technologies (GTT) starts with a water-free nature-based Hydrocarbon monomer solution, and molecularly bonds the solution to each fiber through polymerization. Fabrics treated with GTT's Hydrocarbon chemistry outperforms all existing industry standards and eliminates the toxic waste stream discharged when polluted factory water gets dumped into the environment.
  Endurall® - This innovative engineered yarn with friction reducing molecules creates fabrics and garments with improved lightweight comfort and added durability. Endurall® provides friction reduction for less hot spots and improved abrasion resistance for longer wear. The yarn is hydrophobic for enhanced moisture control, hypo-allergenic, and it is easy care. Endurall® allows designers and manufacturing the ability to put the durability where it is most needed. Fiber and Yarn Products offers a hang tag program to assist its customers with marketing this beneficial product.
  energear™ - This Schoeller technology ensures that the energy radiated by the body is reflected back to the wearer. Practical tests prove that this additional energy has a positive effect on performance and wellbeing. The use of energear™ makes particularly good sense where physical performance and stamina are needed, such as in clothing for biking, mountain sports, trekking/hiking, motorcycling, workwear and military wear, as well as in urban and daily wear. Various stress tests have been performed to verify the function of energear™. Two identical outfits were tested, one with the energear™ finish and one without. Test subjects wearing energear™ experience proven positive effects.
  EVAPTEX™ - VELCRO® brand EVAPTEX™ High Performance Fabric is a hook-compatible fabric optimized for outstanding breathability and superior moisture management. This patent-pending technology is ideal for applications requiring exceptional comfort and durability: leg and arm bracing, catheter straps, tracheotomy straps, helmet padding, sporting apparel, and body armor.
