FAR INFRARED nylon
XTRA-ACTIVE INFRARED is a PA6 yarn that incorporates the benefits of Far Infrared technology
NEW DEVELOPMENTS: XTRA-ACTIVE INFRARED
XTRA-ACTIVE INFRARED is a nylon yarn that incorporates an additive based on mineral gemstones. These minerals naturally absorb and reflect the body’s infrared energy, providing a relaxing effect. This additive is designed to boost energy levels over the long term, improve blood circulation, increase oxygen delivery by blood cells and promote restful sleep, thereby facilitating a quicker recovery from fatigue.

What are FIR rays?
Sunlight is the main source of Far Infrared Rays (FIR), which are crucial to the process of photosynthesis in plants. The gentle heat produced by FIR is widely recognised for its ability to enhance overall wellbeing.
However, the sun is not the only source of FIR; all objects, including human beings, not only absorb but also emit these rays. Interestingly, approximately 50% of the energy generated by the human body is emitted in the form of far infrared rays. This therapeutic heat has the ability to penetrate deeply, reaching beneath the skin and into the muscles, offering potential health benefits.
APPLICATIONS OF XTRA-ACTIVE FIR
Nylon fibres with Far Infrared Rays (FIR) offer multiple benefits in textiles and garments. Ideal for sportswear, they can help improve circulation and reduce fatigue. In therapeutic garments, they may help relieve muscle pain and promote relaxation. They also support restful sleep when used in bedding and pyjamas. In addition, they are well suited to thermal garments thanks to their ability to reflect heat.
Understanding the effectiveness of FIR fibres
It is important to note that, while research exists supporting the benefits of FIR, their effectiveness may vary. In addition, individual sensitivity to the effects of FIR can differ from person to person.
