New fabrics from Maglificio Ripa
19/03/2007
Producer of Italian circular knit fabric for swimwear, underwear, outerwear, fashion and sportswear Maglificio Ripa presented new ‘intelligent’ fabrics at Interfilière and ispo at the beginning of February. The fabrics are made of carbon filaments mixed with nylon or polyester with elastomer and are designed for comfort and high performance. The company claims that use of the new fabrics prevents circulation disorders caused by electric charges that settle in the body.
The anti-static and conductive properties are said to favour blood circulation cellular oxygenation, contrasting muscle contraction and accelerating humidity evaporation. Two versions have been launched, Zagabria and Trifoglio.
