Abstract

Improvements applied to a textile product, and more particularly wherein the improved product is a woven textile product—fabric containing bioceramic microparticles embedded into the fibers thereof with high capacity of irradiation in the infrared region, provided to be used both in humans and animals, more particularly the invention is related to a textile product containing bioceramic microparticles with high capacity of infrared irradiation which, in contact with the heat of the human body, is capable of transmitting infrared radiation in the range between 3 μm and 14.8 μm, preferentially in the 14.8 micron range, said infrared radiation at this wavelength being capable of regulating the blood microcirculation, as the result of its high protection, the blood microcirculation being the nervous center of human and/or animal metabolism.

Claims (7)

1. A method of integrally incorporating bioceramic powder into a textile, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) attaining the total infrared radiance (L) of the bioceramic powder a first time through radiance (Eivband) reaching a photodetector inside a solid angle, defined by a circular area of the textile that has a proportion of L=Eivband/Ω=Eivband d 2 /A, wherein L is radiance, Eivband is the irradiance at infrared band, Ω is the solid angle into which the light is emitted, d2 is the photo-detector-sample distance squared, and A is the circular area of the sample;

(b) submitting the textile to a bath having a dye and liquid containing the bioceramic powder in a range between 2% to 15% for each square meter of the textile dissolved and diluted in a dye, the textile attaining a total infrared radiance (L) and considered a Lambert source;

(c) attaining the total infrared radiance (L) of the bioceramic powder in the textile through radiance (Eivband) reaching a photodetector inside a solid angle, defined by a circular area of the textile that has a proportion of L=Eivband/Ω=Eivband d 2 /A wherein the bioceramic powder integrally incorporated into the textile has a reflectance substantially close to 100% between 2.8 μm and 8.2 μm, and a reflectance of at least 82% inside the range between 8.2 μm and 11.1 μm and a reflectance of substantially 90% between 11.1 μm and 14.8 μm;

(d) drying the textile, and

(e) repeating step (c) as many times as necessary.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the bath having the dye and liquid containing the bioceramic powder contains 7% of bioceramic powder for each square meter of the textile dissolved and diluted in the dye.
