Our Fabric:

ePBT / PBT
ePBT = PBT polyester (Polybutylene Terephthalate)

It’s not just “polyester” - it’s a specific high-performance type of polyester engineered for swimwear.

Key differences vs normal polyester/Lycra:

• Built-in stretch (without Lycra):
  PBT has natural elasticity and shape recovery similar to spandex, but without breaking down quickly
• Extreme chlorine resistance:
  It’s one of the most chlorine-resistant swim fabrics available, outperforming standard blends
• Holds shape long-term:
  Unlike Lycra (which dies fast in pools), PBT maintains structure and elasticity over time
• Durable + long-lasting:
  Can handle hundreds of hours in chlorinated water without degrading
• Quick-drying + low water absorption:
  Doesn’t soak up water → lighter feel + better performance
• Less stretch than Lycra, but more stable:
  It stretches, but it’s more controlled and compressive (performance feel)
