Mosaroma Materials Hero with woven fabric texture

Material & Technology

Materials built for the outdoors.

Outdoor textiles designed for comfort, durability and reliable performance in the open air.

Technology

Mackintosh® Technology.

Our Mackintosh® fabrics are based on 100% solution-dyed polypropylene (PP/olefin). The colour is introduced into the melt during fibre production — the result is a particularly deep, uniform and permanent colouration.

Compared to conventional dyeing processes, this method offers exceptional lightfastness, UV resistance and a significantly lower carbon footprint.

Colour the Melt

Colour pigments are introduced directly into the PP melt before the fibre is formed.

100% PP

Spin the Fibre

The coloured melt is spun into fine continuous fibres — the colour sits in the core.

Additive water-repellent

Produce the Fabric

The fibres are processed into a robust, colourfast fabric — ready for outdoor use.

Solution-dyed UV pigments

Benefits of Mackintosh® Technology

Lower energy consumption in production

Why Olefin?

Water-repellent

UV-resistant

Colourfast

Easy to maintain

Polypropylene (PP/olefin) is one of the lightest and most chemically resistant synthetic fibres available. It absorbs almost no moisture (< 0.1%), dries extremely quickly and is naturally resistant to mould, bacteria and many chemicals.

Combined with the solution-dye process, olefin offers exceptional colour retention — even under strong sunlight, rain or contact with chlorine and saltwater.

These properties make olefin the ideal raw material for premium outdoor textiles that remain beautiful, functional and easy to care for.

Dank dieser Eigenschaften sind Olefinstoffe besonders für den Außenbereich geeignet. Die Mosaroma Kollektionen bestehen vollständig aus Polypropylen und sind daher dauerhaft für den Einsatz im Freien konzipiert.
