Kelheim Fibres, a German manufacturer of viscose specialty fibres, and Hologenix, creators of Celliant, a responsive textile using infrared technology, partnered to create Celliant viscose, a unique combination of nature and performance. They will share their story in a webinar at the Dornbirn Global Fiber forum to be held from September 15-17, 2021.

Dominik Mayer, Kelheim’s project manager for fibre and application development, and Courtney OKeefe, Hologenix’s chief supply officer, will share the story of how this first in-fibre sustainable solution on the market was developed in a presentation, according to a Kelheim press release.

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.
