SMARTFIBER AG SEACELL™

SmartfiberAG creates fibers by incorporating natural raw materials into a cellulosic fiber. SeaCell™ is produced from beech tree/eucalyptus pulp and sustainably harvested Icelandic seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). The fiber is carbon neutral and completely biodegradable.

Seaweed has been found help to protect skin against the harmful environmental influences which people can be exposed to in their daily lives. The substances found in seaweed help to activate cell regeneration, which in turn can help to relieve skin diseases, reduce inflammation and soothe itchiness. Its high level of antioxidants protects the skin against harmful free radicals, which damage skin cells. The natural moisture level of the skin enables an active exchange of those beneficial substances between the fiber and the skin.

SeaCell™ LT is produced using the lyocell process an SeaCell™MT is manufactured using modal technology, both innovative and eco-friendly production methods. Production takes place in a closed loop with no chemicals released as waste. The high tech fibers are produced exclusively for smartfiber AG on modern fiber production plants at Lenzing AG in Austria. A highly specialized team of engineers and scientists supervises the production process on site.

The patented process embeds the seaweed firmly within a natural cellulose fiber. As a result, the positive properties of the seaweed are permanently preserved within the fiber, even after multiple washing cycles.

The fiber is suitable for a vast range of applications, from sport and fashion clothing, underwear and loungewear to home textiles, and combines easily with any other fiber.
