Climatex. The secret formula of pure wool, polyester and ramie.
Ramie. Long-fibred plant, native to tropical and sub-tropical areas.
To clarify: Pure wool collects up to 1/3rd of its own weight in moisture. Then 'overflows'. Polyester is incapable of taking up this moisture and transporting it.
Now Ramie comes into play. The secret of the formula. Ramie absorbs moisture from pure wool and relases it to polyester for transport. The result: CLIMATEX.
The best attributes of three different fibers, optimally combined.
- Polyester with its high resistance to chafing, minimal creasing, good absorption transport.
- Pure wool with its high elasticity, good heat conservation, great moisture absorption.
- Ramie with its great absorbency, cooling effect, strong moisture transport acts as a middlemean between pure wool and polyester.
- The whole is more than the sum of its parts. 20% polyester, 60% pure wool, 20% ramie--an amazing result: long-lasting quality in an optimal enviornment.
- Pure wool with its high elasticity, good heat conservation, great moisture absorption.
Climatex assures an optimal environment through vertical and horizontal moisture transport.
Two patents assure double security for the discovery of Climatex:
- CLIMATEX as final product with excellent seating comfort and excellent hard-wearing properties.
- FIRON for the unique combination of pure wool and ramie.
