What is MJS Spun Polyester and MJS Poly/Cotton Blends?
MJS stands for Murata Air Jet Spinning. Murata is a brand of Japanese spinning equipment developed in the 1980’s. Air Jet technology creates a yarn from short staple polyester or for blends, a combination of polyester and cotton (rather than extruded, continuous filament polyester) that is naturally hairy and soft. This technology yields a fabric that has comparatively low pilling and higher absorption rate due to the low twist yarn structure. The loose yarn structure allows the fabric to dry fast as well as accept starch, this also adds to its breath ability when sewn into uniforms. For colors, MJS yarns and fabrics accept dye at lower temperatures yet its color retention is higher than most other fabrics.
