Thanks to a technological breakthrough in clothing, their research and development department invented a certain mineral with heat capacity and light reflection properties, creating a new type of yarn called bioceramic. Minerals used in bioceramics include Titanium Dioxide, Silicon Dioxide, Aluminum Oxide and Zinc Dioxide, which undergo different processing steps to make them nanoscale powder, which can then be added to clothing and made into bioceramic masterbatches. The masterbatch is mixed with polyester and subsequently extruded to yield bioceramic yarns, including filaments and fibers, which can be used in the textile industry.
If bioceramic materials are used in clothing, body heat is absorbed by the yarn and then returned to the body in the form of far infrared rays (FIR), which can penetrate the subcutaneous layer, stimulate the microcirculation system, and strengthen metabolism. Bioceramics also provide high levels of heat insulation , maintains a constant body temperature even in cold environments, and protects against harmful ultraviolet-A (UV-A) and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) rays. Far infrared (FIR) clothing contains infrared (IR) active technology, which has the following benefits for human health:
- Increase oxygen content in body tissues
- Stimulates faster recovery and healing
- Enhance strength and athletic performance
- balance body temperature
- Improve sleep quality (bedding)
