smartcel™ sensitive

smartcel™ sensitive is an innovative cellulose fiber that incorporates pharmaceutical graded zinc oxide which has a natural antibacterial property that does not require any additional finishing that could potentially harm the environment. Depending on the percentage used, the zinc oxide acts as a shield against harmful UVA and UVB radiation (up to 50 SPF), helps skin regeneration, improves healing of wounds and reduce inflammation. Recent testing has also demonstrated that smartcel™ sensitive has an excellent anti-viral efficacy (against H1N1) and helps to reduce potential viral spread. Please note smartcel™ sensitive is not a medical device.

SeaCell™

Harvested sustainably from the coast of Iceland, SeaCell™ is a patented technology that incorporates active ingredients from the sea. Seaweed has a high content of antioxidants that protect the skin against negative environmental influences such as free radicals. It is also pure and rich in essential substance such as vitamins, amino acids and minerals that have a smoothing and revitalising effect on the skin. Fabrics made with SeaCell™ are soft on hand feel and is suitable for any baselayer / next-to-skin wear. Please note SeaCell™ is not a medical device.

CELLIANT®

CELLIANT® is a performance textile that converts body heat into infrared energy. CELLIANT® improves local circulation and cellular oxygenation for stronger performance, faster recovery and better sleep. Natural, thermo-reactive minerals are embedded into yarn and knit fabric. CELLIANT is tested and proven through 9 peer-reviewed published studies, & 4 comprehensive measures of efficacy: Ash Testing, Emissivity Testing, Transcutaneous Oximetry Pressure Testing and Hyperspectral Imaging Testing. The FDA has determined that CELLIANT® products are medical devices as defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and are general wellness products. CELLIANT® is designated as a Class 1 Medical Device in Australia, Canada, the EU, Japan, NZ, and the UK. CELLIANT® is cleared to market in China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam, with more countries and regions to follow

REFIBRA™

The REFIBRA™ technology promotes circular economy by upcycling cotton scraps from garment production, which would have traditionally gone straight to the landfill. The upcycled cotton scraps are transformed into cotton pulp, which is combined with existing wood pulp to become a new TENCEL™ Lyocell fiber. Lenzing's TENCEL™ Lyocell fiber is produced in a close loop cycle to ensure no chemical is release as waste.

UMORFIL®

UMORFIL® bionic fiber promotes sustainability and circular economy by utilising aqua-acultural fish scale into textile and thereby reducing environmental impact from food waste such as soil acidification as well as pollution from waste incineration. Through UMORFIL®'s supramolecuar technology that integrates collagen peptide amino acid (upcycled from food waste), the fabric is naturally deodorising, soft on handfeel, and anti-static.

STAY COOL

1) Polyester - NIR (Near infrared) light is closest in wavelength to visible light and it is predominantly the source of heat that one feels from the sunlight. Testing has shown that textile, embedded NIR-reflecting particles, reduces surface temperature by shielding the skin from irradiative heat during NIR exposure. Subject to fiber content, construction and weight, it also offers protection against harmful UV radiations. 2) Polyamide – Instant cooling effect is achieved by manipulating the polyamide polymer chain through the insertion of hydrophilic monomer. The incorporate with such technology exhibit a higher moisture retention rate and offers a cooler touch.

SUSTAINABILITY

WORK SATEFY

At Luher Texile, we offer a wide selection of innovative knitted textiles designed for workwear/safety applications. Our flame retardant serious includes modacrylic/antistatic carbon fiber, modacrylic/Cell Solution® Clima, modacrylic/VILOFT® and modacryic/smartcell™ sensitive blends. We offer both anti-static carbon and conductive polyamide that is inherently anti-static and does not wear out after washes. Our smartcel™ sensitive fabrics has been proven to exhibit an excellent anti-viral efficacy (against H1N1) and helps to reduce potential viral spread.

COPPER INFUSED FIBER

Copper is an essential trace element vital to human health. It works with iron to help the body form red blood cells, and also helps to keep the blood vessels, nerves, immune system, and bones healthy. Infused with a high concentration of copper element, Safewell® Cu (ionised copper polyamide) is extruded using an unique patented technology that amplifies the copper element on the surface area of the polyamide fiber. It is naturally and inherently anti-microbial by discharging a large amount of copper ions against the skin, and will last throughout the useful life time of the garment.

Outlast®

Outlast® is a heat management technology, originally developed for NASA. It’s designed as a themo-regulation technology that allows textiles to respond to changes in skin temperature by absorbing, storing and releasing excess heat. Fabric incorporated with the Outlast® technology proactively enables micro-climate regulation on wearer's skin, so as the skin gets hot, the heat is absorbed, and as it cools, that heat is released, providing the ultimate everyday comfort.
