For a high-tech look that really performs, Shimmer can't be beat. Woven of 100% BASF Zeftron 200 nylon, this fabric is extremely durable but looks extraordinarily elegant. By texturizing the yarns in a new and unique way, the fabric appears to have a surface of layered shades of translucent metal ... Shimmer would also bring an element of surprise to the corporate environment. 1, record 2, English, - shimmer%20fabric
