Moririn (H.O.: Ichinomiya-shi, Aichi), Maruichi-Seni (H.O.: Itoigawa-shi, Niigata) and Toray have jointly developed “MILLION DIA,” a high quality, high-class spun yarn, and started both domestic and export sales as textile or garments for 2007 spring/summer.

Characteristic of MILLION DIA

According to the announcement of the three companies, Moririn, Maruichi-Seni and Toray, “MILLION DIA” is a special composite spun yarn with a concentric sheath/core structure which combines Lenzing’s “Lyocell,” “ Modal,”fiber, and Toray’s special hollow polyester and filament like 3GT composite yarn with Maruichi-Seni’s unique “3-D special composite spinning technology.”With this special spinning technology, “MILLION DIA” has high quality characteristics such as less irregularity of yarn thickness, pilling resistance after washing, excellent dimensional stability, does not skew, even when a used as a single yarn, and wrinkle resistance.

Additionally, it is a material with a feeling of lightness which gives it appealas clothing, having not only a soft hand but moderate tension and firm texture when it is made into a textile.

“MILLION DIA” can have various new characteristics according to chosen combinations of “Lyocell”, “Modal” and filament. For the future, they are planning to develop an environment-responsive product which is combined with recycled polyester and polylactic acid (PLA) fiber, taking advantage of their features using “Lyocell,” an ecological fiber.
