Invista Unveils Cordura® Denim Fabric

United States-based Invista, a global integrated fibers and polymers manufacturer, has debuted
Cordura® denim fabric containing a blend of 88-percent Invista™ T420 nylon 6,6 fiber and 12-percent
cotton. Cordura denim offers the look, feel and comfort of traditional 100-percent cotton denim but
is more durable, lasting 50- to 60-percent longer when industrial laundered, and also is three
times more abrasion-resistant, Invista reports.

Artistic Milliners (Pvt.) Ltd., a vertically integrated textile company based in Pakistan,
will produce Cordura denim fabric for use in full garments, which soon will be available in the
United States.
