Premiere Fibers Inc and Rhodoa Fibras have partnered to introduce Emana PA 6,6 smart yarn using Emana technology which differs from other technologies offering FIR-related benefits. They plan to launch Emana yarn in the United States and Canada markets.
Emana features bioactive crystals that are embedded in the yarn to provide cosmetic and performance benefits including the capability to improve performance during exercise and reduce muscle fatigue, enhance thermoregulation, and reduce the appearance of cellulite and give the skin a youthful, smooth appearance.
According to Rhodia, the yarn absorbs infrared radiation from the wearer’s body and re-emits it as a far infrared (FIR) wave that then interacts with the body and promotes stimulation of the circulatory system. It is claimed that a person who wears garments featuring Emana for at least six hours a day over the course of 30 days will realize the cosmetic benefits.
