Fiber and Yarn
Burlington partners with fiber and yarn companies to engineer advanced materials and performance into our fabrics, bringing superior strength, sustainability, moisture wicking, colorfastness, easy-care, and other attributes to you.
Repreve
Transforming pre-consumer fiber waste and postconsumer plastics into high quality polyester and nylon fibers, Repreve® uses new petroleum, emitting fewer greenhouse gases and conserving water and energy in the process.
Green Circle™
A closed loop recycling system separates and eliminates both additives and colorants from used polyester products to purify the material, restoring the polyester to its original quality and function.
Seaqual™
Recycled polyester yarn made from post consumer plastic bottles and waste from the Mediterrenean Sea. Seaqual™ preserves natural resources, reduces the waste in our planet’s oceans, and creates high quality recycled polyester yarn made from 100% recycled materials.
CICLO™
Technology that reduces polyester microfiber pollution through biodegredation in wastewater treatment sludge. This allows polyester to biodegrade in landfills at rates similar to natural fibers like wool.
Eco-Antimicrobial
Using patent-pending, next generation technology, PurThread® improves on existing antimicrobial textile solutions by embedding EPA registered, non-nano silver salts into fibers at the molten stage of production, yielding unsurpassed efficacy, durability, and versatility to textile product designers and manufacturers.
Temperature Regulating
A technology that uses millions of active particles to capture and release moisture vapor - helping you zone in on a personal microclimate of ideal relative humidity and core body temperature for maximum performance.
All-Weather Outdoor Resistant
Made from solution dyed Satura Max yarns, this fabric retains color and strength in severe outdoor exposure. WeatherMAX™ combines enhanced breathability and water repellency with long-term color retention, superior strength and durability - all in a lightweight, designer friendly fabric solution. With a lower cost and higher perfomance characteristics than acrylic fabrics, and double the fade resistance of solution-dyed polyesters, WeatherMAX™ easily adapts to any outdoor application.
Easy-Care Wools
A revolutionary technology that allows worsted trousers and garments to be engineered as truly washable for the life of the garment.
Durable Blends
Merino Wool and CORDURA® nylon are combined to produce a fabric that offers the comfort, aesthetics, and performance of wool with the strength and durability of nylon.
AVRA
Eastman AVRA's ultra-thin polyester fibers are extruded and held together by a proprietary removable polymer that can be easily woven or knit into fabrics. Once the fabric is made, the removable polymer washes away in hot water creating ribbon-like fibers that are smaller than traditional polyester fibers, resulting in a distinctly silk fabric that keeps the wearer drier and more comfortable.
