To battle the environmental costs associated with greenhouse effects and global warming, the LIBOLON research and development team dedicated itself to develop functional fabrics that could serve as eco textiles, protecting the planet from further harm.
LIBOLON researchers analyzed the complete production chain, including the selection and formulation of raw material compositions, the polymerization process, the spinning and thread specifications, the fabric composition, and the dyeing treatments. From this, LIBOLON was able to optimize the chemical formula and processing conditions to develop its CoolBest II® functional fabric, which provides a heat-radiating and cooling effect, thus eliminating the need for air conditioning and the associated energy costs.
Using LIBOLON’s proprietary nanometer cooling technology, the energy-saving functional fiber CoolBest II® can effectively reduce the wearing temperature by 1-2 degrees Centigrade when the outdoor temperature is below 35 degrees Centigrade. As such, the indoor air conditioner could be set 1-2 degrees higher. According to the statistics from the Energy Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, raising the temperature setting of an indoor air conditioner by 1 degree Centigrade can result in 1 billion kW of electricity per year, corresponding to 660,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year (based on the assumption that 1 kW of electricity produces 660g of C02).
Wearing LIBOLON nanometer cooling and energy-saving eco textile products will bring you a cooling and comfortable feeling, and let you contribute to environmental protection at the same time.
Polyester is one of the most widely used synthetic fibers for textile purposes. However, polyester is a good insulator, resulting in static electricity generation. Upon contact with metal or other conductors, electric current is generated, resulting in a static shock.
To eliminate this unpleasant feeling, LIBOLON’s researchers improved upon the raw materials used in polyester production, and looked for the best formula combination to develop durable, washable, and antistatic polyesters and antistatic fabrics. The result is OHMLON functional fabric, which improves wearer comfort and reduces unwanted static shocks.
LIBOLON antistatic fabric and antistatic polyester can be used in the linings for suits, coasts, or jackets to avoid static electricity generation; can be applied to household furniture such as sofas and curtains to reduce dirt adhesion; and can be used in car interiors to reduce electric shock and electrical interference.
In an effort to promote and extend environmental protection through its functional fabrics, Libolon developed its recycled yarn RePET®, which is created from recycled PET bottles, and its energy-saving eco textile Ecoya®. These products can effectively reduce power consumption, CO2 emissions, and COD content of the discharged waste water during production by using eco-friendly recycling technologies and virgin yarn.
LIBOLON is taking its eco-friendly production practices one step further with its EcoFlying Plan, which uses recycled yarn, recycled polyester, and nylon waste to create nylon plastic products. These nylon plastic products can be repeatedly recycled to reduce waste and more effectively utilize petrochemical raw materials.
