With sustainability on the rise, comes yet again a new wave of fibres derived from the ocean grown seaweed. Seacell, a cellulose-based fibre, is manufactured using the so-called Lyocell process, fibre from which serves as the “functioning substrate” for the seaweed.
Known for its medical properties, algae from seaweed is combined with other fibres like merino wool, silk and cotton to provide a fabric that would rejuvenate the senses of the wearer. It has salutary drugs, such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements that act through an active exchange of substances between fibres and skin thus substantially reducing adverse environmental effects on the skin. Giving a soft hand to all textiles, Seacell is compatible with other fibres providing good knitted, woven and nonwoven structures. Used in home furnishings and apparels, fabrics made out of Seacell provide tactile comfort to the user and due to its anti-inflammatory and good air permeability properties, its application can be seen in industrial wear as well.
