Greensboro, N.C.-based Unifi Inc. – a producer of multifilament polyester and nylon textured yarns
– has launched Repreve® FR, the newest addition to its Repreve family of 100-percent recycled
fibers. Repreve FR, containing at least 2,000 parts per million phosphorus, is the first recycled
polyester fiber with inherent flame-retardant (FR) properties.
Momentum Textiles – a supplier of contract textiles and a division of the Irvine,
