This is now that these invisible light waves landed in the design of clothing to the surprising characteristics: body warming, but also Fluidization of blood circulation, reduction of lactic acid responsible for the overcrowding of cells after a sporting effort or even decrease in muscle spasms.
"Infrared textiles generate a complex process that reserve no doubt other surprises", explains Professor Bernard Durand, Biomechanical engineering team responsible for the University of Mulhouse. Elderly people. And the results are surprising: thus coated Guinea Pigs fall considerably less that others that are lacking. The effect of the single jacket, infrared textiles or both "The balance depends on a range of sensors that collect and transmit information from the environment to the brain, explains the researcher." The responsibility of the infrared is not proven, but we can be sure of externalities related to temperature and the sensation on the skin.
Infrared is electromagnetic rays located left of the Rainbow, in wavelengths from 0.76 to 1,000 microns. At the end of the spectrum, the far infrared are those of the three bands (after the short and the means) that emit the most energy. The principle on the human body is known: in contact with the body, the waves come into resonance with water molecules get agitated. Their friction heats cells which in turn transmit heat qualified by the experts of "soft and uniform" in the body.

To domesticate these properties in a garment, the chemist and geologist Jacques Casper had the idea to use fine ceramic particles known for their ability to reflect infrared radiation. The process developed is operated by the besides manufacturer of technical textiles HT Concept. He mixed oxides 30 to 1,200 C, such as zircon, titanium and tourmaline. "This polymer matrix is then added to a polyurethane porridge in proportions which give our membranes revolutionary qualities", explains Thierry Heim, President of the company.
Developed two years ago, these fabrics have found their first application to the manufacturer of sports clothing Vertical, renowned for its matter full-scale tests. Two his latest collection, winter jackets are equipped for mountaineers and ice climbing lovers. "Our sales are still confidential, details the President of the company Frédéric Beal.". But as we continue our tradition of défricheur. "Next year, its infrared collection will thus include a public jacket.
The pattern will not long to wait for competition: Taiwan, another industrialist had the same idea that HT Concept using fiber polyester as a medium of a ceramic mixture for a synthetic yarn that can be woven with other fibres (cotton, spandex, Nylon...). Akeo (120 employees, net sales EUR 45 million) is the first user in France. "We have developed a hundred references well-being from the bonnet to the windproof jacket, says its President André-Pierre Alexandre." "This innovation promises a revival in the membranes of protection against the cold," prognosis. Confidentially marketed this winter under the brand name Form'Vital mode of relational sales, its range would have already generated more than 1 million euros in sales. What give ideas to the giants of the garment. It is rumored in the medium Lafuma is going to use, too, these revolutionary textiles.
