According to the company, CoolVisions offers all the inherent attributes of traditional
polypropylene fibers — light weight, comfort, moisture management, durability, thermal insulation
and stain resistance — with the addition of its dyeability using disperse dyes and a soft hand
owing to its unique design. The company also reports the fiber processes similarly to current
pigmented polypropylene, enabling efficient yarn spinning, knitting and weaving using current
textile equipment.
To augment its production in Covington, FiberVisions also has begun CoolVisions
manufacturing operations in Asia.
