Evolon is a unique, microfilament fabric combining good textile and mechanical properties. It is soft, drapable and light (130 gsm), but at the same time, is also very strong. Its' compact fiber structure makes it dense, providing good barrier and filtration properties. It is very absorbent (up to 400% of its own weight in liquid), but also quick to dry and breathable. It can also be cut and sewn like any traditional textile. Evolon is PVC-free and is made from polyester, polyamide and water. No solvents or binders are used in its manufacture. Evolon fabrics are suitable for a diversified range of conservation applications.
