A towel that stays soft even when laundered every day

The Hyakusen Menka towelFeatures○ Stays soft through the use of uniquely developed yarn
We have developed a unique yarn that neither becomes stiff nor twisted
even when laundered. This yarn has been woven into towels that continue
to stay soft even when laundered repeatedly.
Hotel type

○ Special RX processing minimizes the dropping of ﬂuff
and prevents stiffening of the towel
RX processing is a processing technology for removing dirt from fibers
without damaging them, through the use of the environmentally-friendly
TZ scouring and bleaching method, and then immobilizing a uniquesilicon elastomer onto the ﬁbers through a special process. This has theeffect of keeping the ﬁbers from dropping ﬂuff, as well as preventing theweakening of water-absorbency properties and color loss from the dyes.
This processing method offers a high level of safety as it is non-petroleum
based and formalin (formaldehyde)-free.
