6 NATURAL WARMTH INSULATION

7 CAPTURING BODY HEAT FOR EXCEPTIONAL WARMING RESULTS Like a cup of espresso on a cool winter s day, NILIT Heat nylon 6.6 yarn, made with coffee charcoal, warms wearers from the inside out, for maximum comfort and performance all day long. Wearers enjoy a comfortable sweat-free sensation due to the excellent absorption and moisture management provided by the fibers. Superior thermo insulation Added as an inside layer of fabric, NILIT HEAT yarn maintains the body s natural warm temperature Anti-bacterial properties Naturally provided by the carbon coffee in the fibers Deodorizing effect The carbon coffee absorbs and effectively neutralizes odors Environmentally friendly Coffee charcoal is created from coffee bean shell residue a natural surplus IDEAL APPLICATIONS Hosiery Socks Tights and leggings Sportswear Underwear Winterwear Base layer CHOICE OF YARN COUNTS NILIT Heat is available in the following Dtex counts: 44/34/1-2, 78/68/1-2 THE NILIT HEAT EFFECT ON THE BODY additive inside the fiber skin body heat garment Fabrics made with NILIT Heat conserve & maintain natural body heat to keep the wearer warm. The wearer s body emits heat, which is absorbed in the coffee charcoal embedded in the yarn. The specially composed coffee charcoal, together with an oxide additive integrated in the yarn, absorbs the body heat and captures it for an extended period of time. Proven to keep wearers warmer Several tests were conducted in three global labs (TTRI - Taiwan, Centexbel - Belgium, and SGS - Switzerland). The tests were performed on NILIT HEAT yarn fabric with the coffee charcoal additive, and a reference fabric without the additive. Identical tests were performed on dyed and non-dyed fabrics. THE RESULTS: The fabric knitted with NILIT Heat yarn,showed an increase of 10 C (50 F) to the reference fabric.
