Shai, 
That's what I've been trying to find out. It supposedly is spun polyester Pellon. Whether it's 100% or a blend with other materials, I don't know. 

I took an RTI roll into a fabric store last night, and they were stumped (after the "What the hell do you want with THAT?" looks I got). But it appears that it may be most similar to Pellon #810 (Tru-Grid tracing cloths, 100% polyester) or #830 (Easy Pattern tracing cloths, 70% polyester/30% Rayon). But they come in yard boards, not rolls. Not very helpful. 

Microfiber cloths would seem hugely expensive for the rate we go through them in cleaning our machines. 

Thanks for everyone's replies. 

Jeff




Does anyone know what is the material that the RTI rolls for their tapechek
line are made from?
