Nanotechnology maker LITRAX announces that its L2 fiber & filament technology has been awarded as a WINNER at ISPO 2013 in Munich to be among “TOP 5 FIBRES INNOVATION” for fall/winter season 2014/15.

L2 technology creates enhanced and rapid thermal insulation, heat storage and reemission. It further enhances blood circulation, thus stimulating cellular metabolism with its associated beneficial health effects. The technology used both in filaments, fibers and layers, is designed for high performance sportswear, sleepwear, work wear, garments or underwear. Garments made with L2 THERMO have insulation properties and rapid warming from an increase of +5°C to over amazing +22°Celsius, depending on the percentage of L2 master batches used in virgin materials.

LITRAX provides L2 master batches for Polyamide, Polyester, Polypropylene and building materials. L2 can be blended together with other LITRAX additives to bring additional features: excellent moisture management, odor reduction, UV protection and antibacterial function (zinc/silver/organic).

“We are very satisfied with this great entry positioning in the performance markets”, says Felix Stutz, founder of LITRAX. In the very near future LITRAX will revolutionize the performance textile markets by offering custom made additive solutions to virtually any big or small synthetic spinning company.

Performance textile producers will soon realize that there is a brand market (with its associated high prices) and a much more fairly priced top-functional generica market, just like the pharma industries. This will enable small players to rapidly enter the functional market with creative solutions made with LITRAX, and large players to quickly diversify without overstretching their R&D budgets.

LITRAX, based in Hong Kong under Swiss Management, is an innovative manufacturer and supplier of products using both organic and minerals to create functional raw materials for various industries. Their profound expertise in nanotechnology and their L-series functional master batches have gained rapid recognition worldwide among synthetic spinning insiders.
