    SUMITRON® uses chips recycled from used PET bottles.
  • Stain-resistant
    Since it is made of polyester, the yarn is stain-resistant.

    Mass pigmentation provides the yarn with excellent light- and heat-resistant properties.
  • Bulked yarn
    The three-dimensional processing gives the yarn a bulky feel.

Application examples

SUMITRON® Cleaning tools (brushes, mops, etc.)

Cleaning brushes, mops and other tools using SUMITRON® have appropriate stiffness and elasticity provided by a combination of multiple polyester fibers. In addition, the side edging with an irregular cross-section of SUMITRON® allows users to remove dirt with only water. These cleaning tools are used for cleaning various items, including dishes, cups, bathtubs and toilets.
