Evolon microfilament fibre
Evolon is a totally new and unique material from the producers of Lutradur.
Evolon is a unique microfilament fabric combining excellent textile and mechanical properties.
Although it is a nonwoven, it looks and feels very much like a traditional woven material and has a suede like finish. It is ideal for artists and designers, and just like Lutradur you can sew it, cut it, glue it, embroider it, *distress it, paint, print and dye it.
The soft texture of Evolon is achieved using polyester polymers together with a percentage of polyamide (nylon) included.
Due to the microfilament structure, and the polymer mix, means that Evolon is extremely soft in texture, and has very good drape characteristics. Furthermore because of the polymer mix, Evolon can be dyed using a range of different dyeing processes, such as acid dyes for example, providing superb colour definition.
Evolon is a unique, soft but extremely durable nonwoven material that can even be washed at fairly high temperature.
Evolon is only available in white at this time.
* We would always recommend the use of a face mask and working in a well ventilated area away from people and pets when applying heat to any nonwoven materials (even better to do this outside as this fabric does give off a lot of vapours).*
