Kelheim Fibres, world’s leading producer of viscose fibres is planning to extend its range of speciality products by a newly developed viscose fibre with incorporated IR-reflecting particles for improved performance. Thermal radiation emitting from a human body is reflected by the particles incorporated in the fibre and sent back to the body, thus reducing the cooling of the person. In addition to the thermal retention function, the wearer of such a textile will also be benefited from the typical properties of the innovative fibre, such as wearer comfort, softness and skin friendliness.
