Teijin Frontier Introduces Octa® sf: A New Polyester Yarn with Natural Feel
Teijin Frontier Co., Ltd., the fiber and product converting company of the Teijin Group, has unveiled Octa® sf, a cutting-edge polyester yarn that combines the performance of synthetics with the soft, natural texture of cotton or wool.
Designed for comfort and functionality, Octa® sf is lightweight, soft to the touch, and provides excellent heat retention, making it ideal for outdoor wear and sportswear. Its unique structure also enables quick drying and moisture control, offering all-day comfort in active environments.
What sets Octa® sf apart is its natural aesthetic, uncommon in typical synthetic yarns. It can be blended with natural materials like wool or lyocell, allowing for greater design flexibility across various fashion applications.
Teijin Frontier will begin supplying products made with Octa® sf starting in the Fall/Winter 2025 season, further expanding its sustainable and high-performance textile offerings.
This launch reinforces Teijin Frontier’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and creating versatile, next-generation fabrics for the global apparel industry.
