Fibre producer Toray has announced that the fabric in a protective clothing suit it has designed reduces heat stress. 

Assistant Professor Tomonori Sakoi of Shinshu University led a team that carried out evaporative thermal resistance testing on LIVMOA 3000 breathable, disposable personal protective clothing. 

The testing examined the ease with which perspiration evaporated from the suit and the impact of this on the likelihood of wearers suffering heat stress. It found that the Toray fabric lowers heat stress more during work than general-purpose protective clothing.
