Dinamica™
Highly technological.
Exceptionally beautiful.
Dinamica™ is the microfiber which is produced in part by using recycled polyester and a water-based process.
The manufacturing process used by Dinamica™ makes it possible to extract fewer virgin raw materials since it uses a part of recycled fibers of waste products.
Technology
Aim to make effective use of limited resources by increasing the ratio of recycled polyester fibers used in all three layers as much as possible.
In a nutshell, Dinamica™ consists of three layers: face, inner scrim and backing.
Submerged in a water solution, the inner scrim attracts small polyester fibers, which are suspended in the liquid, to both surfaces; these are compacted using a water-based needle punching process.
The microfiber is then immersed in a water-based polyurethane bath without using solvents in order to minimize the health and environmental impacts. This process compacts the fibers, making them elastic and resistant.
During the dyeing and finishing stage, the production cycles are optimized and monitored managing the energy consumption at best and minimizing the waste of chemical products and water which is then drained through our purifier and partially re-used.

Interiors
The surface texture of microfiber helps to render refined living spaces. The scrim inside makes the material strong and resilient against worn-out and tear, and the short microfibers also minimize the occurrence of pilling, making Dinamica™ suitable for upholstered furniture applications. The material is also resistant to claw and nail scratches, etc., and is easily cleaned even when stained, so it is recommended for households with small children or four-legged friends.
Dinamica™ has been adopted by a wide range of furniture manufactures in Japan, Korea, Europe, and other overseas countries, and is also gaining widespread use by public facilities such as hotels and theaters.

Apparel
Its beautiful colors, rich drape, smooth surface, soft touch, and high-quality texture of Dinamica™ inspire the creativities of designers. Dinamica™ is lighter than real suede and its unique three-layered microstructure maintains an appropriate level of breathability, making it comfortable and less stuffy. Fashion accessories, fringe, tape, etc., that make use of Dinamica™ present an elegant texture and a touch of glamor. As a base material also, Dinamica™ has excellent compatibility with other materials, and can be used for many years owing to its high durability.
Sustainability
Higher proportion of recycled polyester fibers
With a view to always supply cutting-edge microfiber products of the highest quality, we designed products featuring a much higher proportion**** of recycled polyester fibers made from a mixture of industrial waste fibers and clothes (pre-consumer) and plastic bottles (post-consumer) ensuring the usual high levels of technical performance while improving its environmental footprint.
**** Recycled fiber content varying depending on the product and application.
