the unique "vegetal cashmere"
The original Cultivated wood fiber
The purest cellulose fiber from a renewable resource
Lenpur is a novel textile fibre from a renewable resource: cellulose carefully selected from the branches of special trees. The remarkable properties of wood provide textile materials made from Lenpur with extraordinary properties. Lenpur is truly the best "vegetable fibre produced by man". The fibres retain the wood's natural properties. The characteristics of Lenpur (US Patent 005599784) are owed to the specific types of timber used for its production, independent of the process used for its manufacture. The main differences in Lenpur compared to other cellulose fibres is its softness, its absorption capacity, its ability to release dampness (as a yarn or fabric), its deodorant properties, and its adsorption characteristics (due to its morphology). When mixed with other fibres, Lenpur is in "mechanical synergy" with them.
Lenpur fibre and yarn certainly deserve to be called "eco-friendly" for a number of reasons. The wood it is made from is cultivated: it is not based on a cycle of unnatural deforestation. Furthermore, only certain parts of the tree are chosen and selected. Harvesting coincides with normal pruning. This is what makes this fibre valuable and unique.
Properties
Thermo Regulation
Your body constantly gives off different substances together with water through perspiration. The ability to preserve body temperature on the surface is directly linked to the surface’s ability to remain dry. A fabric composed of fibres that can easily absorb – i.e. hydrophilic – and that can give off substances also – i.e. permeable – ensures that the body surface will remain dry and will regulate itself according to your body temperature.
GARMENTS MADE WITH LENPUR CAN SUSTAIN A HIGHER THERMAL RANGE, AND THEY KEEP YOU FRESH IN SUMMER AND WARM IN WINTER!
These features define the dyeing process – either natural or synthetic – since a strong stability of the colouring product is provided by sensibly reducing allergic reactions (just think to underwear).
Antistress
The characteristics of wood pulp yarn are the same as those of all vegetables fibres: thus it stores no electrostatic charges that can harm your body. It helps and sometimes causes natural absorption of (negative) ions which nourish body organs. Consequently, it can be defined as a natural material against stress. Nowadays the link between the physiological and psychological state is fully agreed. Your nervous system rules physiological activities by binding body and mind. The places you frequent are charged with energy "fields" which can create useless physical stress thus having a negative influence on your psychological state, in other words stress.
Just think of a place full of humidity which helps the transmission of electromagnetic frequencies and furthermore can store and maintain charges. This is the picture of the relationship between your body skin and clothing made of synthetic fibres; bear in mind too that your skin is a filter for your internal organs.
Stored physical stress turns into a "distraction" for psychological resources that cut down their performance. This is the overall stress that can be caused by a plain "stressful" garment. Wood pulp yarn allows opposite conditions, which
are therefore healthy and combat stress.
