Celliant viscose in blends with cotton, regular viscose, MicroModal, lyocell and wool offers a range of varieties. Among the many applications, it is ideal for performance wear, luxury loungewear, casual wear, bedding, towels and beauty. Celliant viscose features natural, ethically sourced minerals embedded into plant-based fibres to create infrared products that capture and convert body heat into infrared, improving cellular oxygenation.
Kelheim’s flexible technology permits targeted interventions in the viscose fibre process and delivers this unique fibre that provides full functionality without the need for any additional processing steps, while impressing with a softer feel and cost and time savings compared to coated fabrics.
