HELLO, DECATHLON!
We’re so excited to be engaging with you! The sample kit, sent to you the week of February 19, 2024, contains a selection of our current signature formulations and treatments. You will notice that there is a spectrum regarding mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, water resistance, texture, flexibility softness, etc. Simplifyber is a platform technology; and, because of that, we can easily “tune” our materials to achieve your vision, by selecting raw ingredients (i.e. low impact plants, recycled plant-based clothing, etc.), a particular look, or performance. These samples have a high bio-based content, and early testing indicates that some of our materials can be recycled as paper as well as biodegraded within 2 years.

A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR COATINGS
We offer biobased and/or synthetic coatings that deliver a wide range of mechanical performance, abrasion resistance, water resistance, texture, flexibility, softness, and gloss. We can treat any of our formulations with these coatings to meet your needs.
A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE SAMPLES IN THIS SWATCH KIT
You will find different combinations of formulation, coating, color, texture, pattern and shape. These variations lead to differences in hand-feel, flexibility, performance, and ultimately final application.
