Resistex yarns are permanently antistatic and bacteriostatic. Eliminating the electrical charges that build up on the human body means improving the health of the person. It is important to understand that the electrical charges generated by the triboelectric effect lead areas of the body overheat. Such overheating can alter normal blood circulation and cause tingling, iching, reddening, and muscular fatigue. By combining antistatic and antibacterial properties, a material achieves the qualities required for effective and comfortable garments. The first yarn to be made of a special continuous filament based on activated charcoal conductor and textile fibres. To start with, it offers an antistatic effect that dissipates and protects against electrical disturbances. Recent tests have also shown that this yarn has excellent thermal properties. Resistex Core Carbon has a high-tech core of protactinium and activated charcoal, covered by cotton or polyester fibres that lend the yarn high elasticity. Resistex Inox is a combination of textile fibres and continuous stainless-steel filaments. This yarn adds metal's antibacterial properties to antistatic and anti-stress advantages. Resistex Inox offers exceptional shielding properties against electromagnetic fields at radio and microwave frequencies. The use of silver provides a powerful antibacterial effect, as well as antistatic properties and protection from ultraviolet radiation, at the same time helping maintain constant body temperature. Copper is the best natural conductor after gold and silver. In Resistex Copper, prior anti-oxidation treatment preserves the metal's beneficial effects and prevents the formation of green copper oxide. (Bilingual document: Italian/English)
