Reliance’s brand Vimal has received an US patent for its DEO2 technology. The DEO2 process technology enables fabrics to resist the settlement of micro-organisms keeping it off perspiration odor. It provides an anti-microbial finish on fabric that arrests the growth of fungi and bacteria, keeping the fabric clean and fresh.

The DEO2 process innovations allow Reliance to process 100 per cent wool, 100 per cent rayon, 100 per cent polyester, polyester/viscose, polyester/wool and other combination fabrics with anti-microbial coating. The DEO2 coating is said to provide protection from the ill-effects of ultra violet rays emanated from sun rays.

With this innovation Reliance is focusing on the domestic market as typically warm and humid tropical environments in Indian cause perspiration and provide ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria and fungi on clothes. Reliance makes over 20,000 design-shade combinations each year in light wool, polyester wool and woolen, polyester viscose and polyester cotton fabrics under the Only Vimal brand.

Only Vimal has introduced super premium fabrics comprising fine wool yarn of Super 150s, Super 130s and Super 120s and occasionally blended with specialty and exotic fibers like silk, angora, mohair or cashmere. It also has fine polyester wool suiting fabrics in a number of blends.
