decisions. As such, offshore products
pose a particular concern. " [They]
have been our biggest challenge in
recent years, " Hussey says. " These
products are lower quality and lack
the advanced features our products
offer, but their cheaper price can be
tempting. That's why we're putting a lot
of effort into educating our customers
about the unique features that set
our products apart, as we believe
this knowledge is key to navigating
challenges like this. "
Converting, reemitting energy
S
eth Casden, CEO and cofounder of Hologenix LLC in Pacific
Palisades, Calif., describes the company's CELLIANT®
product as a " proprietary mineral matrix that is embedded
into textiles. " The minerals work with the ambient heat given by
the body, capturing and converting it to infrared energy then
reemitting it to the body as infrared light.
This process offers a " whole host of benefits, " says Casden, such
as increasing local blood circulation, helping with thermoregulation
and supporting oxygenation, which may speed recovery, improve
sleep and regulate body temperature, among other positives.
The minerals can be embedded into materials such as staple
fiber, spun yarn, filament yarn, insulation, fabric, printed coatings
and nonwovens. When permanently embedded, its performance
lasts as long as the fabric/textile and won't wash or wear out.
" Currently, our fiber and yarn solutions consist of nylon,
polyester, recycled nylon, recycled polyester [and] viscose, which
can be blended with other fiber types, " says Casden. However,
he notes it's also possible to print the minerals onto any type of
fabric (CELLIANT Print). In this case, performance lifespan is
more limited, about 50 or 60 washes. However, it does allow
for a higher mineral load.
CELLIANT minerals have long been incorporated into wellness
products for people. Now, textiles containing the minerals are
showing up in items designed for pet products. In addition to those
from Draper Therapies, these include horse wraps from Sox for
Horses, Avanti pet beds and a line of dog beds from Woofmat.
OVIK is also paying attention
to environmentally friendly trends
such as sustainable packaging and
recyclability and is discussing adding
a wound dressing to its bandages line,
allowing the company to launch an allin-one
product offering to the market.
