Textile technology
Our patented yarn-thread technology Sense-Tex, consist of 5 different fibers, which all have health enhancing abilities.The fiber composition is a composite yarn-thread construction, that is easily mechanically recyclable by design. Three of the fibers are bio degradable.
Two of the fibers are conductive, while at the same time having health enhancing abilities. Due to manufacturing process, theese conductors are “locked in” inside the yarn-thread. Therefore, no micro particles and flakes of their coating falls off. This leads to a longer product life cycle and environment benefits.
Combined with sensors (Vitals Trak), Sense-Tex allows us to gather health metrics in Real-Time (RT).
Combining other Technologies
Vitalprobe is our key partner as they have developed a patented technology that can be merged with Sense-Tex called Vitals Trak. The technology is used within healthcare worldwide, and we are in the process of developing a version for the space industry. For more info on Vitals Trak, please visit www.vitalprobe.com.
SeaCell
SEACELL is a patented, eco-friendly fiber that has limitless applications in textiles. The fibers are suitable for a broad spectrum of uses in sports and leisure textiles – from underwear and loungewear to soft furnishings. This technology allows us to combine SEACELL fibers with any other fiber, making it universally compatible.
The use of SEACELL fibers lends other textile materials that soft, silky feel and provides maximum levels of comfort. Making it a ground-breaking fiber insofar as it meets the demands of a new generation who leads an active and health-conscious lifestyle.
Smartcell
The zinc oxide contained within SMARTCEL fibers is especially good at protecting skin. These properties have a positive effect on people with sensitive skin or those with skin conditions such as eczema or neurodermatitis. Therefore SMARTCEL enhances the quality of life.
Zinc oxide also protects the skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays which can damage our skin cells. Zinc oxide, as well as having positive effects on the skin, has antibacterial and odor-minimizing properties which keep textiles feeling fresher for longer.
SoyBean
In soybean protein fibre, there are many natural substances that controls different kinds of germina like Staphylococcus Aureus; Baciluscolli; and Candida Albicans etc. As the SoyBean protein has elements within itself such as Soybean Isoflavones; Soybean Saphonin; Oligosaccharide etc. The Far-infrared and Negative Oxyanion in Soybean fibre also has the function of Antibacterial.
Ramie
Ramie is a linen-like fiber which is classified as a cellulose fiber and is made from the stalks of the Chinese nettle plant.
Ramie is an eco friendly fabric and the highly sustainable fiber is an alternative to synthetic fabrics. It is naturally resistant to mold, mildew and bacteria, as well as light damage and rot and insect attacks. It can be healthily grown without any pesticides, herbicides and chemicals.
Ramie is made from the stalks of flowers and plants and is a chic vegan silk alternative and is lighter and airier. It is able to maintain shapes well. Ramie is also a vegetable fiber that is noted for its length and toughness. Ramie is classified as a cellulose fiber, and although Ramie is not a very common fabric, it is considered sustainable fabric. Ramie can be grown without harmful chemicals as it can naturally resist various pests and diseases, making it a typical environmentally green crop.
Ramie is one of the oldest fiber crops and have been used for fabric production for more than 6,000 years. It is a bast fiber and for textile production, the fiber from the inner bark, or phloem, of the vegetative stalks, are used, rather than the woody stem or bark.
Silver
Silver yarns have antistatic and antibacterial properties, as well as their high electrical and thermal conductivity, silver-plated polyamide yarns are available as monofilaments, multifilament’s and twisted yarns that we use in Sense-Tex. Their antistatic, antimicrobial and thermally conductive properties make them very versatile. The conductive threads can be used for any application.
However, when applied in the wrong manner, flakes of the silver coating can end up in our drinking water, and after much research through SEM analyses and lab tests we have secured this from happening in Sense-Tex.
