A few insights into the manufacturing process . . .

  1. Evolon is a produced using a unique, worldwide patented manufacturing process.
  2. It’s production consists of only three components – polyester, polyamide and water.
  3. Polyester and polyamide chips are spun into endless filaments,  which are then uniformly laid on a belt.
  4. The filaments are then simultaneously split into microfilaments (up to 100 times thinner than a human hair!) and entangled together with high pressure water jets, creating a fabric.
  5. No chemical products are used to bind the fabric or enhance its performance.
  6. Evolon is PVC-free and contains no harmful substances.
  7. It has a dense, compact fibre structure which is very absorbent and quick to dry.

But the REAL FUN is using this versatile fabric . . .

Suitable for all sorts of projects – it can be painted, dyed, cut, sprayed, sewn etc. It does not fray or produce lint, so there’s no hemming required.
