Macias Technologies
The proprietary technologies and high-performance yarns that raise the performance, durability and comfort of our polyamide 6.6 and polyester woven fabrics.
Performance and durability
MacWear™
Performance, comfort and durability for continuous use.
MacWear™ is the new performance standard for Macias fabrics. We combine superior abrasion resistance, structure retention after washing and moisture management — delivering garments that keep their appearance and comfort through intense daily use.
More than a finish, it is a technical evolution: better drape, faster drying and less wrinkling. The fabric leaves the factory with this technology built in.
Key benefits
- Superior resistance to abrasion and intense use
- Structure and appearance retention after washing
- Moisture management with high breathability
- Less wrinkling and fast drying
UV protection
MacSun™
UV protection built into the fabric.
MacSun™ is not a post-treatment — it is sun protection incorporated from the very construction of the fabric. It acts as a technical resource for segments that demand real performance under prolonged sun exposure.
A technical solution for brands that offer functional sun protection to the end consumer.
Technical stretch
MacFlex™
Stretch and freedom of movement.
Woven fabrics with superior stretch, dimensional stability and lasting comfort, while maintaining industrial strength and durability. Proprietary combination of Polyamide 6.6 + LYCRA® + MacWear™.
Controlled stretch that does not deform. Superior recovery after use. Balanced thermal comfort and mechanical strength suited to intense use.
Priority applications
- Premium corporate uniforms
- Operational uniforms with mobility
- Modern workwear
- Structured casual line
- Premium schoolwear segment
Optional finish
MacShield™
Liquid repellency and appearance protection.
MacShield™ is an optional finishing technology that adds liquid repellency to fabrics, protecting the appearance of the garment in daily use.
Provides discreet protection, not full waterproofing. Designed to reduce light stains and preserve the garment's appearance throughout the workday.
Priority applications
- Corporate uniforms — neat appearance throughout the workday
- Light workwear — garments exposed to splashes and intense use
- Functional tailoring — discreet protection without compromising elegance
- Premium schoolwear — fewer light stains in daily use
Anti-odor
MacFresh™
Thermal comfort and a feeling of freshness.
MacFresh™ is a finish that inhibits odor-causing bacteria, keeping the fabric fresh for longer and reducing the need for frequent washing.
Reduces odor during prolonged wear and preserves a professional appearance for longer. It works without altering the fabric's hand, drape or breathability.
Key benefits
- Inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria
- Reduces odor buildup during prolonged wear
- Keeps a feeling of freshness for longer
- Improves the garment's hygienic performance
- Works without altering hand, drape or breathability
