Superior Heat Insulation |
| |
The
Journal of Occupational Health (Japan)
conducted a comparison of different
materials of the same thickness to determine
heat insulation capability. In comparing
the difference in temperature between
covered and uncovered areas of skin,
the differences were plotted in the
graph below, material types plotted
on the Y-axis and temperature difference
plotted on the X-axis. At 77 F, the different
materials showed little temperature difference,
but at 41 F, there was an obvious difference
in heat insulation, with the Teviron material
showing its superiority in retaining
heat even at low temperatures.
The two figures below are derived from a report
by Teijin Limited Company of Japan.
The long sleeve undershirts in the images
are made of wool on the right side,
Teviron on the left. A heat sensor
was used to register the temperatures
and the results were displayed on a
computer (higher heat dispersion is
represented by warmer colors). |

Excellent Moisture Permeability |

 |

Heat
insulation can be either stiflingly hot,
which keeps sweat inside the material
and is uncomfortable, or it can be dry
and warm. Since Teviron does not absorb
water and has superior sweat dispersion
features, it is not only warm but also dry.

The diagram below is taken from a study
by the Carl Marx Textile Research
Institute of Germany. Since Teviron
has great heat insulation and does
not absorb water, many people might
think that Teviron is not a breathable
material and therefore would be uncomfortable
to wear. However, as you can see from
the chart below, Teviron allows very
rapid water dispersion and therefore
keeps the person inside dry and warm.
We call this "sweat dispersion technology,"
and the only material that can reach
this level of sweat dispersion is
Teviron.
The diagram below is taken from a report
by Teijin Limited Company of Japan.
Specially designed clothing (one side
made of cotton, the other Teviron)
was worn by a subject while exercising
and sweating. The cotton side took
approximately 40 minutes to dry, while
the Teviron side only needed 10 minutes
to become completely dry. |

Amazing Negative Ion Technology |
| |
 |
When two fabrics rub against each other, one side generates positive static electricity while the other generates negative static electricity.
When rubbing against all fabrics or skin, Teviron can generate negative static electricity. The unique negative ion effect generated by Teviron is good fo health.
Diagram 1
The
diagram below indicates the results
measured by an electric ions detector.
This experiment was carried out by rubbing
Teviron against wool.
The indicator pointing towards the left
shows that negative electric ions were
present in Teviron and positive electric
ions were detected in wool, as shown
by the indicator pointing towards the
right.
Diagram 2
The diagram below right is a static
comparison chart for various fabrics
compiled by the Textile Research Institute
of Japan. This proves clearly that Teviron
can generate negative electric ions
when rubbing against all fabrics. |
