Octa®CPCP® used as fleece
The outdoor wear and active insulation category has expanded rapidly in recent years.
Mainly, overseas brands were the first to develop products in this category. One such active insulation insulating material was TEIJIN Octa®CPCP®, a material with its light weight and high heat retention capacity.
STATIC chose to use Octa®CPCP® in a single layer, which is normally a nylon lining material. This is because the brand's products, which are developed in high altitude and dry climates, are heavy because Octa®CPCP® is packed in a shell material, which is difficult to layer in Japan, where it is often carried as warm clothing.
Due to its special mesh structure, it is overwhelmingly lighter than fleece weighing around 300g, which is generally considered to be thin, and is very portable with a very high warmth to weight ratio, making it useful in all seasons.
Adoption of recycled materials
Octa® fabric is composed of two types of fibers: polyester woolly fiber and polyester hollow octopus-leg cross-section fiber.
Of these, 53.6% of the woolly yarn is replaced with recycled polyester (ECOPET®) to reduce the environmental impact.
46.4% is regular polyester hollow octopus foot cross section yarn.
This recycling reduces CO2* emissions during fabric production by 23% by using the same material of recycled polyester compared to Octa®CPCP® of virgin polyester. (*Teijin Frontier Co. CO2 emissions from raw materials (polymer) to fabric shipment)
What is Octa®CPCP®?
Octa®CPCP® is a mesh fleece material that combines a mesh material on the surface with hollow polyester bristled fibers that serve as heat-retaining material.
This polyester fabric is characterized by its lightness, warmth, and heat release. Normally used as a lining, STATIC has adopted it as a stand-alone fleece.
Material Characteristics
Lightweight: About one-half the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter.
Sweat absorbing and quick drying: 1/2 the weight of polyester fibers of the same diameter
Thermal Barrier: The dead air contained in the hollow space and the space between the 8 prongs provides a thermal barrier effect.
Fabric: 100% Octa®CPCP® polyester (53% recycled polyester)
Fit: Relaxed
Weight: 75 g (size M)
