Functional fabrics and performance textile specialist Schoeller Textil has released new fabrics with sustainable features including a naturally warming material with Nilit Heat yarn made with coffee bean shells, qualities in mulesing-free wool, and PFC-free bio-technologies based on renewable raw materials.
The new Schoeller-Dryskin qualities keep the wearer warm thanks to the insulating Nilit Heat yarn on the interior, which captures and stores the body’s own heat. The yarn, produced using coffee charcoal, possesses antibacterial properties and offers maximum clothing comfort at winter temperatures, the company says.
The focused pants and jacket also feature high abrasion resistance, ideal moisture management and reliable water repellence, thanks to PFC-free Ecorepel Bio technology, based on renewable raw materials.
The same natural heat retention is offered in the Schoeller-Naturetec in washable, mulesing-free wool and Ecorepel-Bio.
In addition to sustainable fabrics and technologies, the company has released new color effects and nuances for its products.
The new Schoeller-Spirit fabric qualities are a softly-flowing warp-knit that combines with transparency and metallic looks. In forest green, silver or copper and aluminised reverse, the fabrics are also reflective. They also feature lightweight crosswise elastic with a reflecting dot design, and concealed safety in two-tone silver grey or khaki green to ensure visibility at twilight. Additional water repellence is provided by the fluorocarbon-free Ecorepel Bio technology, based on renewable raw materials.
