Far-Infrared Thermal Fiber

Far-Infrared Thermal Fiber

The Far-Infrared Thermal Fiber independently developed by Shanghai Different Advanced Material Co., Ltd. is a differentiated heat-storage and warm-keeping polyester staple fiber. As a warm fiber engineered for next-skin winter apparel, this product is produced via melt spinning, using blended chips composed of PET and far-infrared ceramic powder masterbatch as raw materials. The functional components such as zirconia and tourmaline contained in the ceramic powder can absorb the 8–14μm far-infrared radiation emitted by the human body and re- emit it back to the skin surface, while inhibiting external heat dissipation, realizing passive warmth retention through the superposition of heat absorption and re-radiation effects. All functional components are melt-blended and integrated inside the fiber matrix, featuring no shedding and no migration after repeated washing. With a conventional fineness range of 1–15D, this warm fiber can be directly processed on standard polyester spinning and nonwoven production equipment.

Far-Infrared Thermal Fiber
Advanced Fiber Technology for Lasting Warmth

Engineered with integrated far-infrared ceramic components, our polyester thermal fiber is designed to enhance heat retention and thermal insulation. With durable built-in functionality, customizable hollow or solid cross-sections, and flexible blending options, it offers versatile solutions for warmth-focused textile applications.

 

 Product Overview

 

Developed with integrated melt-blending technology, the Far-Infrared Thermal Fiber - a durable warm fiber - is produced from PET substrate and far-infrared ceramic powder masterbatch. The submicron-sized functional ceramic components are evenly and stably dispersed inside the fiber matrix with a controllable doping ratio, delivering stable and durable far-infrared heat-storage and thermal insulation performance. Since the functional ingredients are internally compounded rather than surface-coated, they will not fall off or migrate after repeated washing, ensuring long-term stable warmth retention. Natural white is the standard color, and customized dope-dyed colors are available to meet diverse fabric design requirements. The fiber adopts a solid round cross-section as the standard structure, and a customized hollow cross-section is optional. The hollow structure introduces static air insulation, which synergistically enhances the overall thermal retention effect of the fabric on the basis of far-infrared passive heating performance. This fiber features excellent textile process compatibility. It supports pure spinning production and can be blended with cotton, viscose, acrylic and other conventional textile fibers. The blending ratio and fiber specifications can be flexibly adjusted according to end- product warmth requirements, hand feel standards and cost control needs. It is widely applicable to knitting, weaving and nonwoven processes, making this warm fiber a cost- effective choice with strong universality and low industrial application cost.

 Technology Principle

 

1) Production meters PET chips together with the far-infrared ceramic masterbatch, then melt-extrudes, draws, crimps, and cuts the blend into staple. Particle size stays in the sub- micron range to protect spinneret life and fiber strength.2) The warming mechanism of this warm fiber recycles the radiation a body already gives off. Human skin radiates most of its energy in the 8 to 14 micrometer band. Plain polyester lets much of that pass through or scatter away, so the heat leaves in one direction. The crystal lattice of zirconia and tourmaline absorbs strongly in this band and re-emits the energy as far-infrared in all directions, and the part aimed back at the skin returns as usable warmth. Normal emissivity reaches 0.88 or better, and the fabric warms by at least 1.4 C under infrared irradiation per GB/T 30127. Interfacial scattering at the particle surfaces also slows outward radiation, lifting thermal retention of matched fabric by 5 to 10 percentage points over plain polyester.

Core Advantages

Passive Warming

The fiber recycles the infrared energy the body already emits, with no power source.

Measured Performance

Emissivity of 0.88 or higher and an irradiation temperature rise of at least 1.4 C under GB/T 30127, plus 5 to 10 points more thermal retention than plain polyester fabric.

Blend-Friendly

A 30% to 50% share in cotton, viscose, or wool shows clear results while keeping cost in check.

Flexible Specification

Fineness, cut, cross-section, and color are made to order, and a hollow core can be added for still-air insulation in this warm fiber.
