Understanding Tetrex Fabric (Cotton/Viscose Blend)

In the world of industrial and professional workwear, Tetrex fabric has earned a solid reputation for strength, comfort, and versatility. Whether you’re sourcing uniforms for a busy kitchen, hospital, or industrial site, Tetrex provides a reliable and affordable solution. Its superior durability, breathability, and low-maintenance features make it a preferred fabric for demanding Kenyan work environments, where performance and long-lasting wear are essential.

What Is Tetrex Fabric Made Of?

Tetrex is a poly-cotton or polyester-viscose blend, usually composed of 65% polyester and 35% cotton or viscose (rayon). The result is a strong yet breathable fabric that combines the best features of both synthetic and natural fibers.

Polyester contributes durability, quick drying, and wrinkle resistance.
Cotton or viscose enhances softness, comfort, and breathability.

This unique mixture makes Tetrex ideal for daily uniforms that must endure long hours, multiple washes, and tough working conditions.
