INTRODUCING MALONE FABRICS NEW 100% MORE METERS OF FABRIC

UPCYCLED AND RECYCLABLE COLLECTIONS USING With Harmolan, we need less raw material to produce more fabric. Harmolan is the only fibre in
the world that’s lighter than water, and yet, its bulky character ensures a fabric with more body
HARMOLAN PP and perfect coverage.

WHAT ARE HARMOLAN YARNS? HARMOLAN FIBRE
Harmolan is a brand name for the polypropylene and Olefin fibers This brand name is only Using Harmolan is a deliberate, ecological choice. It is a sustainable material with a low carbon
used when this special process is followed. Harmolan is a sustainable material with a low footprint and strong performance, that is both comfortable and stylish
carbon footprint and strong performance.

WHY DO WE SAY THESE FABRICS ARE “UP-CYCLED”?
The polypropylene used to produce the Harmolan yarns are made out of waste from the oil WORKING TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
industry. When crude oil is refined, gasses are released that would normally disappear into
the sky. In this case gasses are captured and “cracked” into a powder. This powder is used to Create products that are durable and last a long time.
produce granules. These granules are then melted, coloured pigments are added and these Harmolan can last a lifetime: with its strong yarns, made from upcycled fibers, it can endure years
are then extruded to form yarns. This process happens at a low temperature and no water is of cozy sitting sessions. And afterwards? Harmolan is 100% recyclable, up to 10 times.

Eco-friendliness and a clean production process.
WHY IS THE PRODUCTION OF HARMOLAN “WATER – WISE AND WATER Harmolan fabrics are produced without water and harmful chemicals. Saving water happens on
FRIENDLY”? two levels: One, because of their inherently colored fibers, our fabrics don’t need to be dyed.
The dying process (that naturally requires a large amount of water) is skipped as coloured Two, the fibers for our fabrics aren’t naturally grown, thus requiring no irrigation. Extruding
pigments are added to the granules to create the spinning solution. With this water yarns and weaving fabrics also happens without water. To give you an idea: other synthetic fibers
conservation, approximately 5000 litres of water per 1000 meters of yarn produced are saved. can use up to 85 liters to produce 10 meters of fabric!
To give you an idea that equals the amount of water you would get if you left the tap running
for 14 hours. Easy to clean:
Harmolan is inherently anti – static. As it repels many damaging substances.
ECOLOGICAL
Harmolan fabrics do not absorb water, and are inherently dirt repellent, fast drying.
Harmolan can be recycled up to 10 times. With an average life cycle of 100 years. It is the most Using a mix of bleach and water the fabrics can be cleaned in no time. Thanks to Harmolan’s
durable man-made fibre available. excellent colour fastness and strength this wont harm the colours or fabric.

Producing Harmolan fibres requires no water. Through lower production temperatures, The fibre is resistant to chemicals, moulds and bacteria.
we also reduce our energy use and by using no PFC chemicals, we limit our impact on the
