Triangle 1706 EX Excel White	50/50 & 100% polyester	Low bleed (poly-tuned)	High	Performance & poly garments — the poly Excel White
Triangle 1707 Superior White	50/50 & 100% polyester	Maximum low bleed	High	The toughest dye-migrating polyester & sublimated fabrics
Triangle 1709 Pearl White	Cotton & blends	Standard	Highest opacity	Bright, high-opacity one-hit whites on cotton and blends
