Bramante – the hollow fibre

The special feature of our Bramante fibre is based on its characteristic segmented hollow cross-section. While other fibres store liquids between the fibres in fabric construction, Bramante absorbs the liquid inside the fibre. Bramante is therefore not only very absorbent, but it also excels in its retention capacity. Terry towels or sportswear with Bramante content absorb moisture particularly well.The high absorption capability makes Bramante for example ideally suited for environmental friendly and washable pads or menstruation underwear.

VISETA® – the fine fibre

Textiles made of VISETA® are characterised by a gently flowing fall, comfort and brilliant sheen.
Moreover, they offer exceptional wearing comfort. VISETA® has a light and cool feel on the skin and is the ideal choice for top quality underwear or outerwear.

There is also a branding program for VISETA® which allows to order hang tags for apparel.

GALAXY® – the absorbent fibre

The special feature of the patented GALAXY® fibre is its trilobal cross-section. It thus achieves an absorbancy up to 30 % higher than that of standard viscose fibres. GALAXY® is the leading cellulosic fibre for all applications which require increased absorbency. It is perfectly suited for all types of nonwoven processes and for producing FDA registered medical devices. GALAXY® is available in different types which have been adapted to customer specific processes in order to enable the widest possible range of end products.

Fabrics made of VILOFT® contain up to 70 % of air

VILOFT® fibres are 100% natural and are made from renewable raw materials – they are also completely biodegradable.

In textiles, VILOFT® creates air chambers in the fabric thanks to its special fibre cross section, thus providing pleasantly light garments which feel noticeably soft and light as air on the skin. At the same time, these air chambers store body heat. VILOFT® fibres can thus be found particularly in thermal underwear, sportswear, socks or T-shirts. VILOFT® textiles contain up to 70 % air. Thus, they are lighter and airier and flow around your body without restricting it.
