SMARTFIBER AG SMARTCEL™SENSITIVE

Schematic of how smartcel sensitive is made

SmartfiberAG creates fibers by incorporating natural raw materials into a cellulosic fiber. Smartcel™ sensitive is an innovative fiber based on natural cellulose (beech tree/eucalyptus pulp) which includes the essential trace element zinc. Special high graded zinc is melted and oxidized, which results in a white powder of pure zinc oxide that is incorporated into the cellulose fiber.

Using only high-quality, pharmaceutical grade 4 zinc oxide, smartcel™ sensitive combines zinc’s regenerative and skin protective effects with its hygienic and antibacterial elements. It protects against UVA and UVB raditation up to UPF 50.

Smartcel™ sensitive is produced using the lyocell process, an innovative and eco-friendly production method. Production takes place in a closed loop with no chemicals released. The patented manufacturing process, preserves and permanently embeds the zinc into the fiber, even after multiple washing cycles. The fiber is produced without the use of aggressive chemicals and is made solely from renewable raw materials, making it both eco-friendly and fully biodegradable.

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.
