The use of polyester microfibres gives the fabric a very soft, velvety feel. In addition, one side has been sanded to reinforce the silky impression. In transfer printing, the fabric achieves high colour brilliance and sharp contours. In a 40° degree wash, dpi-tex microfibre 85 shrinks less than 1.5 %, making the material ideal for the production of bed linen or curtains.
