How does the production process work?
The fibres are made from plant-based raw materials. The Icelandic seaweed comes from naturally growing seaweed fields. During harvesting, only the upper part of the seaweed is removed, allowing it to grow again. The harvested seaweed is then roughly chopped, ground and evenly incorporated into the cellulose fibre. At CALIDA, the seaweed is combined with the MicroModal® man-made fibre from Austrian manufacturer Lenzing AG.
What properties do SeaCell™ products have?
Together with MicroModal®, SeaCell™ fibre combines the properties of two materials from different sources.
Pleasant and soft
SeaCell™ fibres are characterised by a soft surface and a pleasant feel. The seaweed components give the material its distinctive properties.
Breathable and temperature-regulating
The combination of SeaCell™ and MicroModal® creates an innovative material. The fibres are lightweight and breathable and can contribute to a pleasant sense of temperature.
Soft and smooth
SeaCell™ seaweed fibres feel soft and smooth. Thanks to their material properties, SeaCell™ products can contribute to a comfortable feel. The combination of SeaCell™ and MicroModal® combines a soft surface with breathable properties.
