In addition to expanding the “Erepere” series of anti-static and water-repellent products for chemical fiber, Toray’s product line for autumn/winter 2011/2012 sports fabrics has also been strengthened. For knitted fabrics, the company launched a new series called “Real Flash”. Sportswear fabrics division is expected to increase by 5% this year in 2009 when sales fell by 10% from the same period in 2008.

In response to the problem of static electricity generated by the inner and outer clothing sleeves that consumers often encounter, Toray added three types of materials to the new "Erepere" series this season. Under normal circumstances, when the voltage of the triboelectric charge exceeds 2000 volts, the human body will be plagued by static electricity. "Erepere NS" has realized the ability to effectively reduce the electrostatic voltage, and has broken through the vulnerability of the original "Erepere" product susceptible to low temperature, humidity and other factors. According to the company, in 2010, the company’s new product sales plan is about 1 million meters, and it is expected that it will strive to reach 2.5 million meters in three years. At the same time, the different shrinkage type composite fibers made of PTT fiber "Fitty" and the ultra-thin coating processing of the elastic fabric "PROGRESKIN" make this elastic fabric have a windproof function.

In terms of knitted fabrics, Toray focuses on the "PROGRESKIN" and "UNITSKIN" series of elastic materials, and has further increased its efforts in the field of sports underwear. The newly-developed "Riahuressu" fixes the deodorizing antibacterial ingredients on the fibers through molecular binding technology in the finishing process of the fabric, thereby achieving the deodorizing function of the fabric. Compared with the traditional resin processing technology, this process does not affect the water absorption performance of the fabric. At the same time, it can meet the requirements for the processing of cationic dyeable fibers. It is expected to be widely used in the field of elastic compression fabrics for sports fabrics. . In the first year of the launch of new products, the company plans to sell about 100,000 meters.

In 2009, the number of new fabrics used for sports underwear increased by approximately 1.5 times compared with the same period of last year, but the sales of lining and swimwear fabrics declined. In 2010, along with the reduction of retail inventories of retailers and distributors in the second quarter, the total number of shipments in the market has increased, and is expected to increase by more than 10% compared with the same period in 2008. In 2009, the export volume was higher than in 2008. Also reduced by 10%. However, what is gratifying for the industry is that this season's market for outdoor-oriented products for the Nordic market has begun to show a good upward trend.
