Profile Of Polartec: A Pioneer In Synthetic Fleece Materials And Innovator In Performance Fabrics For The Textile And Clothing Industry


Polartec is a company based in the USA which specialises in the manufacture of a range of performance textiles. The best known of these is Fleece Series--a 100% polyester fabric and successor to the original Polarfleece fabric. Polartec manufactures a variety of products which fall under five key categories, namely base layer fabrics, insulation materials, treatments and finishes, weather resistant fabrics, and flame resistant fabrics. It caters to a broad range of markets, and supplies fabrics to more than 220 brand partners--including leading sportswear brands such as adidas, Nike and Under Armour. Furthermore, it considers itself to be a trailblazer in the implementation of environmentally sustainable practices. In particular, it is committed to using recycled materials--particularly recycled polyester derived from post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles--and it seeks to employ distribution methods and production methods which have a low impact on the environment. The company operates production processes which are less resource-intensive than conventional processes, it captures and repurposes textiles waste generated by its production lines, and it uses energy-efficient compressors, ventilation and lighting systems at its facilities. In addition, Polartec has established several initiatives aimed at reducing microplastics pollution and eliminating the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), also known as "forever chemicals".

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
