Functional textiles
with cork

Intro corkshell With corkshell™ from Schoeller, it is now possible to combine the outstanding natural features of cork with those of high-performance fabrics. corkshell™ offers much higher thermal insulation than functional fabrics while providing both high breathability and wearer comfort.
corkshell™ is made of an FSC-certified cork granulate that is a by-product in the manufacturing of wine corks. This natural granulate is pulverized and firmly anchored as a coating in a special process patented by Schoeller.
Two corkshell™ options are available:
  • Two-layer fabric construction with a cork coating on the inside of the fabric
  • Three-layer fabric construction with the cork coating in the middle

All fabric constructions are water and wind repelling, highly breathable and is available in both 2-way and 4-way stretch qualities.

Intro ecodye Less time, less water, less energy – schoeller®-ecodye is a specially developed auxiliary concept for polyester (PES) dyeing processes. The technology accelerates the dyeing process of yarns and piece goods, thereby saving resources and costs, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
ecodye Block 1
schoeller® ecodye makes shorter heating-up phases possible. In addition, the dyeing process improves the product quality. Even with critical nuances and dye combinations, the use of this technology does not negatively impact the evenness of the dyeing.

The plant cuticle is the very outer layer of leaves which protects them from uncontrolled evaporation. This wafer-thin waxy film enveloping the leaves and stems is responsible for the familiar way that water droplets run off in the morning dew or in heavy rain. This effect is the  inspiration for ecorepel®.

ecorepel® ® uses a highly functional, permanently odorless high-tech finish that mimics the natural protective mechanism of plants. The finish spirals around the individual fibers in a thin film, reducing surface tension. This creates the repellent effect that causes water droplets and watery dirt to roll off the textile surface. Breathability is not impaired, the handle remains pleasantly soft, and the textiles stay dry and clean.
ecorepel® completely eliminates fluorocarbon components and is therefore PFC-free. The technology is bluesign® certified, which means that it meets strict environmental and health standards. ecorepel® allows products to be made that meet the demands of modern outdoor activities without harming the environment.It is a sustainable solution that prioritizes the protection of nature and the health of people and the environment.

Intro energear All living organisms permanently emit energy into their surroundings. Textiles with energear™ reflect this energy which the body gives off in the form of far infrared rays. This can positively affect the body and its stored energy. The knowledge of far infrared rays and their positive properties has its origins in Asian curative medicine and is widely used around the world.

energear Block 1
Far infrared rays are part of the infrared ray spectrum and are radiated by the sun, many stones and metals, as well as by the human body. Certain minerals can reflect this radiated energy.

The knowledge of far infrared rays and their positive properties has its origins in Asian curative medicine and is widely used around the world. energear™ consists of a titan-mineral matrix. Textiles finished or printed with energear™ return far infrared rays to the body. The energy harnessed in this way can have a positive effect on the body.
