• An easy care product.
• Antibacterial effectiveness is guaranteed, ensuring improved hygiene, comfort and coolness that are augmented by the properties of heat regulation and moisture transfer that leaves the skin dry and healthy.

MANIFOLD DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

• Supporting and restraining articles
• Para-medical articles
• Filters

The properties most needed for really hygienic and comfortable bedding are: thermal insulation, non-flammability, antibacterial effectiveness, anti dust-mite action. Rhovyl developed two fibers with these advantages: Rhovyl'As^® antibacterial and Rhovyl'A.S.+^®.

The natural non-flammability derives from the basic polymer used and provides effective protection from fire risks caused by negligence with a cigarette or a lighted match, or other dangers.

These two fibers are also the right answer where warmth and perfect protection from the cold are required along with good evacuation of natural moisture. They also prevent the development of bacteria thanks to the antibacterial agent introduced into the core of the fiber before extrusion. Finally, Rhovyl'A.S.+^® eliminates in 8 days the dust mites that are the cause for most allergies.

Thanks to the strong bonds between molecules of the polymer and the antibacterial and anti dust-mite agents, Rhovyl'As^® antibacterial and Rhovyl'A.S.+^® fibers retain their properties, even after frequent washings. This efficiency has been tested by independent organizations.

RHOVYL FOR THE FLEECE

Polar knits offer high performance protection against cold and flames.
Advantages :

• Thermal insulation and moisture evacuation for comfort.
• Non-flammability for protection garments.
  

The Rhovyl'Laine^® antibacterial polar knits provide an exceptional thermal insulation. This knit is ideal for making garments that conform to the EN 533 standard for clothing with limited flame spread (class 3). In fact, the Rhovyl'Laine^® antibacterial blend stops flame spreading and holes forming as flame nears.
The Rhovyl'Up^® antibacterial polar knit provides good thermal comfort and optimum moisture evacuation to keep clothing dry and protected from bacteria. Moreover, it conforms to the EN 533 standard (class 1) in stopping the spread of flame.

The antibacterial agent introduced into the core of the Rhovyl^® fiber limits the development of bacteria that cause bad smells and skin irritations. This antibacterial property is permanent and stands up to repeated washing. Sweaters, blousons and parka linings can be made from these two products for the use of the police services and the armed forces.
