Seaweed fabric redefines what’s possible in textiles by bringing together material innovation, functional performance, and sustainability in perfect harmony. It offers an ideal alternative that is skin-friendly, comfortable, antibacterial, anti-mold, soft, lightweight, and eco-friendly. Thanks to its unique bio-based composition and outstanding performance, it is especially suitable for children’s clothing, where safety and comfort are non-negotiable. Its versatility extends to a wide range of winter garments, including down jackets, offering the little ones a soft and warm wearing experience.
The fabric demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, significantly reducing the risk of skin allergies. It also provides a touch as gentle as cashmere, making it ideal even for those with sensitive skin. With a moisture regain rate ranging from 15% to 18%—considerably higher than that of conventional cotton—it quickly absorbs and wicks away sweat, ensuring a consistently dry and comfortable feel. Its inherent antibacterial properties deliver over 97% effectiveness, combined with strong mite resistance to offer comprehensive protection for children's health. Moreover, the fabric's photothermal conversion capability enables it to absorb visible light and infrared rays, effectively retaining warmth in cold weather—an added benefit that enhances both wearing comfort and practicality.
Sourced from renewable seaweed and produced using a low-carbon, environmentally friendly process, the fabric closely aligns with modern sustainability principles. Compared to traditional synthetic fibers, its production reduces carbon emissions by more than 60%, truly delivering a full-circle green approach—from raw material sourcing to final garment creation.
