Pyrolized L8 active carbon - Litrax EIGHT series 

litrax logo on Litrax ONE page

Litrax 2 thermo bamboo

Key facts and advantage:

  • Quick and high insulation from 0.8 to 3.2 Clo

  • Rapid warming effect up to +28°C and beyond

  • Rapid increase of local blood circulation

  • High deodorizing effect due to porous L8 material

  • Excellent for underwear, pyjamas or sports clothing

  • LITRAX L8 Active carbon keeps dry in summer & during sports

  • Blending possible (intimate fiber or yarn mix)

  • Thin padded winter jackets with high insulation capacity

  • Antibacterial according to JIS standard L1902-1998

  • Far Infrared absorption

  • Excellent Ultraviolet Protection (UPF 25)

  • Negative Ions (580 counts/cc) 

 

THERMO REGULATE LITRAX 8 active carbon has unique capabilities: regulating body temperature, eliminating sweat, and keeping body dry druing peak performance. RAPID HEAT ESCAPE Large ventilating mesh fabric in key areas on the rear side create space to let heat escape rapidly from critical sweat zones. GAUGED AIR FLOW Three-dimensional structured fabrics in key areas on the garment guarantee a gauged airflow that naturally regulates the skin's surface temperature

 

Frequently asked questions FAQ

  • How well does LITRAX L8 active carbon insulate?

    LITRAX L8 active carbon provides exceptional clothing insulation properties in terms of the standard textile thermal insulation unit (clo unit). LITRAX L8 active carbon fibers can insulate from 0.8 to over 3.9 Clo, a unit of thermal insulation used for clothing. which can be projected in to a massive and unprecedented ~27.5°Celsius of raised temperature. The amount of insulation required to keep a resting person warm in a windless room at 70 °F (21.1 °C) is equal to 1 Clo.

  • How to test insulation?

    EN13537 and ASTM1518-1985 methods, or with a thermo camera (for coloured effects)

  • What does the Clo unit mean?

    The clo is a measure of thermal resistance. It measures the insulation provided by any layer of trapped air between skin and clothing and the insulation value of the clothing itself. 1 clo unit will maintain a sedentary man comfortable indefinitely in an environment of 21°C (70°F), 50% relative humidity, and 0.01 m/s (20 ft/min) air movement. Assuming no wind penetration and no body movements to pump air around, clothing insulation = 0.15 x weight of clothes in lbs. (i.e., 0.15 clo per lb of clothes). So 10 lbs. clothes = 1.5 clo. A thick business suit provides an average of approximately 1 clo of intrinsic insulation for the whole body. Common textiles such as shirts and pullovers display values between 0.5 - 1.1 clo while standard insulation values of bedding can be between 1.4 and 1.6 clo.

    LITRAX L8 active carbon fibers insulate up to 3.2 Clo with fiber padding (filling of jackets, shoes) and could also be used for enhanced construction insulation.

 

Ordinary Insulation Material will reduce heat transformations but not efficiently. Thick layers of cloth or padding are needed. Heat escapes. LITRAX 8 active carbon insulation is capable of absorbing thermal elements and sustain the energies within the closure. LITRAX 8 active carbon needs a much thinner layer for strong insulation. Heat is stored in the bamboo and reflected back to the body
