Textile solution for temperature regulation
Cools and heats in its unique way throughout the entire product life

Cell Solution® functional fibers are produced particularly environmentally friendly with the patented ALCERU® procedure. The active substance is directly integrated into the cellulose matrix imparting a permanent function to the cellulose.

Cell Solution® - turns ordinary garments into active products.

Cell Solution® CLIMA is a natural cellulose fiber with an integrated phase change material (PCM).

Cell Solution® CLIMA fibers absorb excessive heat (from the body or environment), accumulate it and release it under certain conditions. This allows, for instance, temperature regulation that gives the user of the textiles an extraordinary wearing comfort and an excellent microclimate.

In the case of Cell Solution® CLIMA products this is a paraffin that melts in a temperature range between 28-35°C.

Paraffin has the capability to latently accumulate energy when it is liquid. That means that at the time of phase change from solid to liquid state there will be no further heating of the paraffin and thus of the environment for a defined time.

Cell Solution ClIMA fiber

• Based on the lyocell technology
• PCM direct embedding during spinning
• Heat accumulation capacity for:

o 6.7 dtex: > 90 Joules / gram fiber
o 2.3 dtex: > 50 Joules / gram fiber

• Smooth surface
• Good textile processing
• Cellulose fibers are well-known for perfect moisture management
• More than 80% of the fiber components are natural raw materials
• Clearly improved heat storage capacity compared with similar products

Antimicrobial/antiviral cellulose fiber - Active protection against bacteria and viruses

Cellulose – a natural product

Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE is made of wood from sustainable forestry. Cellulose is breathable and regulates moisture. Textiles made of cellulose are more absorptive than cotton, they are silkier than silk and cooler than linen. The fiber naturally absorbs excess moisture and takes it to the outside. The ability of cellulose to transport moisture is superior to that of the synthetic fiber. The fiber structure supports a pleasant skin climate and is temperature-balancing.

Cell Solution® functional fibers

The fibers are produced particularly environmentally friendly with the patented ALCERU® procedure. The active substance is directly integrated into the cellulose matrix imparting a permanent additional function to the fiber.

Ecological high-tech fiber

Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE fibers exhibit a pleasant skin climate and excellent moisture absorption. The cellulose matrix is equipped with antimicrobial and / or antiviral functions imparting hygienic properties as well as a protection against harmful bacteria, viruses and germs. Nanotechnology is not used in the production procedure.

Antimicrobial and antiviral properties

Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE is a natural cellulose fiber provided with antimicrobial properties. Besides a natural skin climate harmful bacteria and germs can be fended off .

Simultaneously, Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE is safe against viruses like Influenza or Covid-19. Even after 30 sec 99.9% of viruses are killed. Both features are maintained throughout the entire life of the textile product. Only a proportion of 2 – 6% in nonwoven or garment is efficient.

Pure luxury for the skin

Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE is the natural barrier against bacteria, fungi, viruses and other pathogens. Imparted antimicrobial functions render harmful bacteria harmless, antiviral features destroy virus shells. Positive side effect: Unpleasant odors are eliminated in this way.

Textiles containing Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE are used in medical technology and are one of the most efficacious and natural remedies in this field. The healing process, in particular, of open wounds and neurodermatitis is accelerated. This is caused by the blocking eff ect on bacterial growth. Due to these properties Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE products are particularly suitable for highly sensitive people. Furthermore, when Cell Solution® BIOACTIVE is used in face masks their effectivity within very short time makes virus containing aerosols inactive.

Proven effects

• moisture-regulating
• temperature-regulating
• antistatic
• soft on skin
• regenerating
• antimicrobial (acc. to DIN EN ISO 20743)
• antiviral (acc. to ISO 18184, Hohenstein report)
• odor-inhibiting
• washable (50 washing cycles, temperature of 40°C, disinfectants or cleaners containing chlorine should not be used due to the antibacterial fi ber properties)
• dyeable with direct, reactive and HT procedures
• listed as a material with bioactive properties with OekoTex® (Accepted chemical products)

Fields of Application

The developed balanced fi ber blends permit the manufacture of nonwovens and textiles for clothes, health and living as, for instance:

• Office, work, sports and leisure textiles
• Underwear, stockings and socks
• Terry articles and massage toppers
• Baby and kids clothes
• OP clothes, medical dressings
• Medical wear and hospital textiles
• Neurodermatitis clothes
• Home textiles such as bedding, bedlinen and mattresses
• Face masks

Textile skin care

Cell Solution® functional fibers are produced particularly environmentally friendly with the patented ALCERU® procedure. The active substance is directly integrated into the cellulose matrix imparting a permanent function to the cellulose.

Cell Solution® - turns ordinary garments into active products.

Cell Solution® SKIN CARE is a natural cellulose fiber with skin-caring properties. The combination of cellulose fibers with embedded vitamin E and caring oils yields the pleasant wearing comfort plus cosmetic effects in addition.

Proven effect of vitamin E

• Firmer, younger and healthy skin appearance
• Reduction of scar tissue
• Healthy and shiny hair
• Acceleration of wound repair

Fields of application

• By mixing the Cell Solution® SKIN CARE fiber with almost any common fiber materials it is possible to make clothing and products for health and living.

Quality
Cell Solution® SKIN CARE fibers are certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 product class 1 (textile items for babies and toddlers up to 3 years).

Cell Solution® SKIN CARE fibers are produced based on ISO 9001:2008.

Cell Solution® SKIN CARE fibers are washable.
The release of vitamin E has been proven even after 50 wash cycles at 40°C with a mild cleaning agent. The transfer of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) from the fiber to the skin has been demonstrated in simulated wear tests (test report No. 14.8.5.0091 of Hohenstein Laboratories GmbH & Co. KG).
