BodyCare® by Eclat Textiles
 

NEW BODY CARE DEVELOPMENTS:

recycledRECYCLED POLYESTER – Responding to today’s eco-friendly lifestyle, Eclat Textile Co. Ltd. now offers high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% certified recycled plastic PET bottles.  Eclat’s recycled polyester fabrics are available in a wide variety of knitted constructions, and can be blended with other fibers, such as: 

  • Organic cotton
  • Lycra®
  • Other fiber blends

What are the Properties of Recycled Polyester?
The properties of Eclat’s recycled polyester fiber are nearly identical to those made from virgin polyester fiber, including:

  • Durability
  • Softness,
  • Shrink-resistance
  • Colorfastness
  • Easy Care

BAMBOO BLENDED FABRICS - The bamboo fiber is a type of regenerated cellulose, which is produced from the refined bamboo pulp through a patented technology. The pulp is bleached, processed, and extruded into a fiber.

bambooBamboo Fabric Qualities:

  • Lustrous appearance
  • Extremely soft
  • Drapeable
  • Absorbent
  • Breathable
  • Cool
  • Take dyes exceptionally well
  • Biodegradable

Bamboo Fabric End-uses:

  • Intimate Apparel
  • Casual Sportswear

CHARCOAL BAMBOO - This fiber is produced by kindling the bamboo under very high temperatures.  The charcoal is then pulverized into nano-scale powder and added to other materials during the spinning process.  The process continues with the addition of a special anion powder and a second re-kindling.

Charcoal Bamboo Qualities:  Only 3% charcoal bamboo will provide the necessary performance qualities.

  • Possesses a heathered appearance - The higher the percentage of charcoal bamboo, the darker the heathered appearance of the fabric.
  • Absorbent
  • Provides moisture management qualities
  • Anti-bacterial - proven effective after 50 washings
  • Targeted end-uses:
  • Performance Activewear
  • Underwear

AloeALOE VERA BODY CARE - The technology used here is that invisible micro-beads and binders are built into the fabric, which work with the body's natural movements to release aloe vera onto the wearer's skin as the person moves in his/her garment throughout the day.

Purpose of the Aloe Vera Fabric:

  • Condition the wearer's skin
  • Provides a fresh odor

Targeted End-use Category:

  • Intimate Apparel

ORGANIC COTTON - Organic agriculture eliminates our planet's exposure to toxic chemicals and harmful pesticides, protects our health and promotes a positive impact on the earth.  Eclat's organic cotton fiber and eco-friendly manufacturing processes are certified.


Characteristics of Organic Cotton: Aloe

  • Grown without the use of chemical pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers
  • Same characteristics as conventionally grown cotton
    • Comfortable
    • Soft hand
    • Absorbent
    • Good color retention, prints well
    • Machine-washable, dry-cleanable
    • Good strength
    • Drapes well
    • Easy to handle and sew

SEAWEED - Seacell® is a renewable cellulosic fiber derived from seaweed.  The fiber contains several minerals from the sea (i.e carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, and vitamins), which explains why seaweed-based products have been used in cosmetics to preserve the smoothness and firmness of the skin.

Characteristics of Seaweed:

  • Breathable
  • Stimulating
  • Comfortable

SOYBEAN - Soybean protein fiber is made from renewable natural resources.  Using cutting-edge bioengineering, the fiber is made from the residue of soybeans during the tofu manufacturing process.


Characteristics of Soybean:

  • Soft, wool-like feel
  • Silky luster
  • Drapeable
  • Absorbent
  • Good durability---stronger than wool
  • Easy Care - machine washable
  • Air-dry recommended---machine drying not recommended

GERMAINIUM ALLOY YARN – Eclat uses TaxGE™, Germanium Alloy Yarn, to provide a variety of health-giving qualities to its fabrics. 

What Is Germanium Alloy Yarn?
Germanium is a hard, grayish-white element that has a metallic luster that exists deep underground or within other elements.  Through advanced fiber technology, the non-toxic germanium is embedded into the fiber to provide the germanium yarn with special benefits for textiles. By taking advantages of germanium's active and antioxidant qualities, this special fiber can improve metabolic processes, and reduce tiredness in people who wear garments made from Germanium Alloy Yarn.

How Does Germanium Alloy Yarn Work?
The key is that Germanium works on the body’s most basic level - the cellular level.  Evidence suggests that Germanium enhances the cell’s ability to generate energy by raising the cell’s oxygen supply.

What Are the Benefits of Germanium Alloy Yarn?

  • Antistatic
  • Deodorizing
  • Relieves Tiredness and Fatigue
  • Improve Metabolic Processes
  • Benefits of Far Infrared Rays (FIR): FIR’s are a gentle type of radiant heat.  Radiant heat is a simple form of energy that provides heat, without heating the air in between the fabric and the skin. Due to Germanium’s FIR qualities, additional advantages are created:
    • Increased Comfort
    • Increasing Blood Circulation
    • Pain Reduction

What are the End-use Applications for Germanium Alloy Yarn?

  • Performance Sportswear
  • Activewear
  • Home Furnishings
  • Medical

  • Silver-based polyester
  • Organic cotton Body Care
