100% POLYESTER & 100% POLY HIGH DENSITY TAFFETA APPAREL
A 3.0 ounce per square yard, 150 Denier, Limited Linting 100% Polyester Fabric which has been the industry standard for many years. Available in a wide range of colors, Taffeta garments are comfortable, long wearing and modestly priced.
Herringbone - A 4.0 ounce per square yard, 150 warp, 250 filling Denier, 100% Polyester fabric composed of limited linting filament yarns. Herringbone characteristically combines tight weave and excellent opacity, along with acid resistance to many chemicals.
High Density Taffeta - Vidaro's High Density Taffeta is a densely woven 100% Polyester Fabric (100% Polyester 2.7 oz/sq. yard) engineered for environments where there is a high concern for bacteria filtration and particulate control. Its dense construction seals out moisture. Already widely used in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, it offers important advantages for applications ranging from food processing to paint rooms.
