Functional textiles
with cork

Intro corkshell With corkshell™ from Schoeller, it is now possible to combine the outstanding natural features of cork with those of high-performance fabrics. corkshell™ offers much higher thermal insulation than functional fabrics while providing both high breathability and wearer comfort.
corkshell™ is made of an FSC-certified cork granulate that is a by-product in the manufacturing of wine corks. This natural granulate is pulverized and firmly anchored as a coating in a special process patented by Schoeller.
Two corkshell™ options are available:
  • Two-layer fabric construction with a cork coating on the inside of the fabric
  • Three-layer fabric construction with the cork coating in the middle

All fabric constructions are water and wind repelling, highly breathable and is available in both 2-way and 4-way stretch qualities.

Intro ecodye Less time, less water, less energy – schoeller®-ecodye is a specially developed auxiliary concept for polyester (PES) dyeing processes. The technology accelerates the dyeing process of yarns and piece goods, thereby saving resources and costs, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
ecodye Block 1
schoeller® ecodye makes shorter heating-up phases possible. In addition, the dyeing process improves the product quality. Even with critical nuances and dye combinations, the use of this technology does not negatively impact the evenness of the dyeing.

Isn't it fascinating how ducks can dive under water and reemerge with their feathers still dry? Like all waterfowl, ducks produce an oily secretion that allows their plumage to repel water. The ecorepel® technology transfers this natural water repellency to textile surfaces.
 
The function:
Just like a duck's plumage, ecorepel® imitates this natural, water-repelling protection and ensures that textiles stay dry and clean.


ecorepel® is based on long paraffin chains that wrap themselves in a spiral around the individual fibers. This reduces the surface tension so that water droplets and even watery dirt with a much higher surface tension simply run off. Breathability is not affected, and the feel remains pleasantly soft.

Intro energear All living organisms permanently emit energy into their surroundings. Textiles with energear™ reflect this energy which the body gives off in the form of far infrared rays. This can positively affect the body and its stored energy. The knowledge of far infrared rays and their positive properties has its origins in Asian curative medicine and is widely used around the world.

energear Block 1
 
 
The function:
Far infrared rays are part of the infrared ray spectrum and are radiated by the sun, many stones and metals, as well as by the human body. Certain minerals can reflect this radiated energy.

energear™ consists of a titan-mineral matrix. Textiles finished or printed with energear™ return far infrared rays to the body. The energy harnessed in this way can have a positive effect on the body.
