Material Insight: ROICA™ V550

July 22, 2019 by Material ConneXion

ROICA™ V550: Stretch Energy

The world’s first Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Gold Level Certified™ premium stretch yarn that combines performance and sustainability for the next generation of performance garments. ROICA is lighter and more stretchable than rubber, as its tensile strength is several times that of rubber, with excellent recovery and lifespan.

The material’s supply chain has a lower impact on human and environmental health and is striving toward eliminating all toxic and unidentified chemicals for a safe continuous cycle. It is also Hohenstein Environment Certified, where at its end-of-life, it smartly breaks down in soil without releasing any harmful materials.

It can be produced in a wide range of deniers, including the very fine and coarse deniers that are difficult to produce from rubber. Applications include performance wear, sports equipment, fashion, athleisure, sportswear, intimates, and swimwear.
