Mey and Hologenix® launch first menswear collection with Celliant® Viscose

Mey GmbH & Co. KG, a global manufacturer of underwear, nightwear and lingerie based in Germany, is launching the world’s first men’s nightwear with CELLIANT® Viscose, which converts body heat into infrared energy.

Called mey Zzzleepwear - THE NEW SLEEP-LIFE BALANCE, the collection follows the successful debut of the similarly named women’s collection in 2021. It consists of four designs in Indigo available in T-shirts, short pants, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. CELLIANT works by recycling the heat emitted by the body into full-spectrum infrared energy and then returns it to the body. As a result, it increases the supply of oxygen to the cells and promotes a restful sleep.

CELLIANT Viscose was developed by Hologenix®, creators of CELLIANT, a textile-based infrared ingredient brand, and Kelheim Fibres, a leading manufacturer of viscose specialty fibers. CELLIANT Viscose features natural minerals embedded into plant-based fibers and is biodegradable. It provides all the benefits of being a viscose fiber — lightweight, soft, highly breathable, excellent moisture management — as well as the fiber enhancements from CELLIANT infrared technology. In addition, CELLIANT is durable and will not wash out.

60 Jahre Chantelle in Deutschland

Als Chantelle Gründer François Auguste Gamichon 1876 mit einer neuen elastischen Faser den Lingerie-Markt revolutionierte, legte er gleichzeitig den Grundstein für das heutige, international agierende Multibrand Unternehmen. Stets seiner langfristigen Vision folgend, eine neue, freie Weiblichkeit zu stärken, hat das Familienunternehmen vor genau 60 Jahren seine erste Auslandsfiliale in Deutschland eröffnet.

Innovationsgeist beschreibt den Kern des Unternehmens. Mit Erfindung neuer, dehnbarer Stoffe eröffnet François Auguste Gamichon, später gemeinsam mit seinem Neffen Paul-Maurice Kretz, der Damenwelt eine bisher unbekannte Freiheit – weg von starren Korsetts und engen Miedern. 1960 wird der erste Chantelle-BH unter Leitung des Großneffen und Firmennachfolgers Claude Kretz, Vater des heutigen CEO Patrice Kretz, entwickelt.

Zwei Jahre später folgt der Eintritt in den deutschen Markt, die erste Filiale des französischen Unternehmens im Ausland. Die Produkte kommen bei der anspruchsvollen Zielgruppe gut an, das Unternehmen geht auf Expansionskurs.

Mittlerweile umfasst das Sortiment neben Lingerie auch die Kategorien Bademode, Lifewear, Underwear, Sport, Maternity und Period Panties. Immer wieder überbrückt der Lingerie-Experte dabei technische Herausforderungen, erforscht neue Wege, um Dessous zu entwerfen, die den weiblichen Bedürfnissen und Anforderungen gerecht werden. Dazu zählt nicht nur der Fokus auf innovative Materialien und verbesserte Passformen für mehr Wohlbefinden, sondern auch ein starkes soziales Verantwortungsbewusstsein, um den eigenen ökologischen Fußabdruck des Unternehmens nachhaltig zu verringern. Ein Versprechen, das Chantelle mit Chantelle One, der weltweit ersten 100% recycelbaren Dessouslinie, untermauert.

Archroma launches a new vegan textile softener

Archroma announced the launch of EARTH SOFT, a new softening system for textile and fashion applications, based on Archroma's latest innovation, a vegan silicone softener, Siligen® EH1, with 35% plant-based active content.

Siligen® EH1 is the latest addition in the plant-based innovations developed by Archroma in recent years, such as EarthColors® dyes and Appretan® NTR binders, as alternatives offered to manufacturers and brands looking to reduce the use of fossil fuel based ingredients without compromising performance.

The range has been developed in line with the principles of “The Archroma Way to a sustainable world: safe, efficient, enhanced, it’s our nature”. More than 35% of the Siligen® EH1 softener's active content is based on plant-based, renewable raw materials. In addition, the product features ultralow cyclic siloxanes (D4, D5, D6) which are classified by the European Chemicals Agency as “Substances of Very High Concern” due to their very persistent and bioaccumulative properties.

Siligen® EH1 is ideally suited for shirts, underwear, sportswear, towels, bed sheets, etc. as it provides an excellent wearing comfort by supporting a good moisture transportation and delivering a smooth and soft touch.

The new softener, and the EARTH SOFT system which also includes a Hydroperm® wicking agent to boost hydrophilic properties on synthetic and blended fibers, can be applied on all natural and synthetic textile fibers.

Siligen® EH1 is suitable for both woven and knitted articles. It can be applied by padding process, as well as by exhaust process as it shows a very good shear stability and a low foaming profile. It can be used on white articles and those treated with optical brighteners, as it doesn’t cause thermomigration nor phenolic yellowing.

Paul Cowell, Head of Competence Centers for Brand & Performance Textile Specialties at Archroma, comments: “The new EARTH SOFT system based on Siligen® EH1 softener adds to our growing portfolio of innovations based on natural and renewable plant-based resources. This new breakthrough innovation by Archroma helps us and our partners in the textile and fashion industry to minimize our dependence on petroleum fossil fuel products.”
