CO2 Control®Wellness and Performance Technologies Smart Elastanes Certifications

CO2 Control® Concept

The fabrics in the CO2 Control ® line are the result of Santaconstancia ® 's constant search to develop a textile production that is more friendly to the human body and the environment.

These fabrics are developed from raw materials that have a lower impact on the environment, whether in their production or disposal, such as: polyamide from renewable sources, biodegradable polyamide (which decomposes in landfills under anaerobic conditions), fibers grown in managed forests, no use of toxic or harmful products to human health and production traceability. In addition, products with the CO2 Control ® label use reused water in the dyeing and printing processes, thus ensuring responsible use of water throughout their production line.

Certified and internationally recognized by a serious and renowned audit, the fabrics of the CO2 Control ® line receive the Oeko-Tex® Class I seal, which attests that our articles are free of products that are toxic to human skin.

Biodegradable Polyamide 6.6

Santaconstancia®, committed to the technological and sustainable development of its fabrics, was the first Brazilian textile company to use biodegradable polyamide 6.6, produced by its partner in both business and in its socio-environmental responsibility, Rhodia Solvay®.

This yarn has been improved to allow accelerated biodegradation, approximately three years, in fabrics and clothing, after being correctly disposed of in landfills (in an anaerobic environment). Decomposition that previously took decades, now occurs in approximately three years.

An innovative technology developed to meet the needs of the most diverse segments, such as fashion, sports, beachwear, lingerie and uniforms, in the most varied weights and fabric constructions.

Renewable source technologies

Finding sustainable solutions for collective and planetary well-being is an ongoing challenge.

Santaconstancia® once again takes a step forward, incorporating into its CO2 Control® family fabrics developed using raw materials from renewable sources (sugar cane, beetroot, corn, beech, eucalyptus, among others) .

The new BioNyl Light Lycra® EcoMade and BioNyl Flux®, produced with polyamide 5.6 from a renewable source, known as the polyamide of the future, offer much more thermal comfort, breathability, quick drying, soft touch and easy care.

We also have other fibers that come from and return to nature with total safety, being compostable (domestic and industrial) and biodegradable, in soil and seawater. Among them, we highlight the fibers TENCEL™ Modal, TENCEL™ Micromodal and TENCEL™ Lyocell, produced using TENCEL™ technology, from certified wood and which offer maximum softness, natural touch and breathability.

If your brand is looking for innovation, functionality and fabrics that feature good sustainable practices, be sure to check out our fabrics with technology from renewable sources.

Wellness and Performance Technologies

Today's consumer is looking for more durable clothing that is easy to maintain on a daily basis and that provides functionality through technologies that integrate well-being, thermal comfort, protection against sunlight or that offer safety through antiviral technology.

i-Red®

Technology that converts heat into Well-Being

The fabrics in the i-Red® family are developed with intelligent Emana® polyamide 6.6 yarn, composed of bioactive minerals in its DNA with long infrared technology (IVL), the result of the union between science and innovation that permanently promotes well-being.

Its innovative formula allows clothing made from it to use body heat to provide benefits. Due to the minerals inserted into the thread, it converts body heat into long infrared rays that are returned to the body, stimulating blood microcirculation and thus resulting in several benefits.

The benefits promoted range from reducing signs of cellulite, increasing skin elasticity and firmness, as well as reducing fatigue and rapid muscle recovery, increasing sports performance, providing maximum comfort and well-being.

Combinations of technologies that offer other functionalities.

Fabrics containing elastane in their composition offer greater comfort and other functionalities. The new generation of smart elastanes includes the following technologies: recycled, chlorine resistance, adaptability to different body types, “true black” effect, among others.

Recycled Elastane

Recycled material from the pre-consumer production process and with GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification, LYCRA® EcoMade offers the same performance as conventional LYCRA®, but with greater sustainability.

Developed using technologies that add value and contribute to the reduction and more conscious use of natural resources, providing better environmental performance and minimizing waste, LYCRA® EcoMade could not be left out of Santaconstancia's product line.

Elastane with Adaptability

Adaptability is the great competitive advantage that technology adds to this product. Produced from an innovative elastane, this yarn proactively adapts to the user's functional needs, providing freedom of movement.

A unique thread that provides much more comfort and safety, providing a tailored fit, that is, the same size fits a wider range of bodies ( one size fits more ).

Promote a user experience for your customers and discover the AdapFits® line from Santaconstancia®.

Black Elastane

High performance, greater durability, even when in contact with sun protection products, sweat and chlorine, and the freedom of movement that LYCRA® yarn can ensure for pieces in the sports and fashion segments.

Fabrics produced with LYCRA® Black also add the benefit of the “true black” effect, an attribute that is so important for its users because the fabric does not lose its color, has less shine and very low transparency.

Discover and experience the advantages that Nerissimo® technology can add to your products.

Chlorine Resistant Elastane (CL+ ^® )

Pieces produced with CL+ ^® technology offer greater resistance to loss of elasticity and fiber breakage caused by external agents such as: chlorine, heat, sweat, use of creams, tanning lotions, sunscreens and products used in the washing process, maintaining their shape and style for much longer.
