[Discovery] Far Infrared Ray Has Different Effects On Textiles

Far infrared refers to an electromagnetic wave whose wavelength is wider than that of visible light, with a wavelength range of 1mm to 100mm. In the infrared region, the frequency of light increases, the wavelength becomes longer, and the energy increases accordingly.

Far infrared light, unlike visible light, cannot be directly observed by the naked eye, and can only be measured or detected by special instruments or equipment.

Far infrared ray is widely used in many fields, such as:

Medical treatment: Far infrared ray can heat objects for medical heating, such as baking heat therapy. Far infrared ray can also be used to diagnose internal diseases of the human body.

Communication: far infrared ray can penetrate obstacles and plays an important role in far infrared ray communication.

Energy: Far infrared ray can heat objects, generate heat energy, and be used to generate electricity. Far infrared can also be used as fuel for gas engines.

Environment: Far infrared can be used to improve air quality, heat objects, lighting, etc.

Far infrared is a very important electromagnetic wave, which is used in many fields and plays an important role in the development of human society.

Textiles can emit far infrared ray, which is usually achieved by using infrared transmitter or infrared sensor.

The infrared transmitter can convert electric energy into infrared radiation, which can detect or identify objects after being received by textiles. For example, the infrared transmitter used can be connected with a circuit to convert it into infrared signals, and receive these signals through the antenna receiver of the textile.

Textiles can reflect or scatter infrared rays by using special coatings or reflective layers to reduce the transmittance of infrared rays while still retaining enough infrared rays for reception.

The infrared characteristics of textiles depend on their materials and processes.

There are many kinds of raw materials that can endow textiles with far infrared function. The following are some common raw materials and their functions:

Infrared sensor material: This material itself has the function of infrared sensor, which can detect and record the temperature of object surface.

Silver oxide: silver oxide is a conductor that can convert electric energy into heat energy, and can release far-infrared ray after contact. The fabric can be endowed with far-infrared function by mixing it with fiber.

Polymer nanowires: This material can release a lot of infrared rays and convert them into heat energy. When mixed with fiber, it can endow the textile with far infrared function.

Infrared emitter material: This material can emit infrared ray and convert its energy into electric energy. The fabric can be endowed with far-infrared function by mixing it with fiber.

The above are just a few common materials, and there are many other materials that can give the textile far infrared function.

To test whether textiles have far-infrared radiation, a far-infrared transmitter and receiver are required. The following are standard procedures for testing textiles:

Prepare test equipment: purchase a far infrared transmitter and receiver, which usually consists of a receiver, an infrared sensor and a power supply.

Prepare the test cloth: place the test cloth in front of the transmitter and the receiver behind the test cloth. Then, turn on the power, start the receiver, and observe whether the far infrared signal is displayed on the display screen of the receiver.

Test textile: cover the textile in front of the transmitter, and make sure that both ends of the textile are also covered. Then start the receiver and turn off the power after a period of testing.

Interpretation results: carefully observe the results on the display screen of the receiver to understand whether the textiles have certain far-infrared capabilities.

The following are the test standards for far infrared transmitter and receiver:

Infrared emission standard: European Far Infrared Emission Standard

NASA standard

International Far Infrared Capability Standard

Many textiles claim to have far-infrared radiation, but consumers need to know how to distinguish whether these textiles really have far-infrared radiation.

Consumers can distinguish far-infrared textiles in the following ways:

Test: You can use a special far-infrared transmitter or sensor to test the far-infrared radiation ability of textiles in the laboratory or online test platform. Textiles with far-infrared radiation ability will produce obvious heat radiation, and their heat output can be clearly seen or felt.

Color: far-infrared radiation can stimulate the colors in textiles to produce bright colors. Textiles with far-infrared radiation ability usually have strong color changes, ranging from white to black or from black to red.

Temperature: Far infrared radiation can cause temperature changes. The temperature of textiles can be tested to determine whether they really have far-infrared radiation ability.

It should be noted that some textiles may exaggerate their functions, so consumers need to carefully understand the composition and test results of textiles in order to make correct judgments.

Textiles can emit far infrared rays, and their users may have the following benefits:

Warm keeping: Far infrared ray can heat objects, so textiles can keep warm. Far infrared ray can penetrate the atmosphere that blocks its transmission, such as in winter in cold regions. The use of far infrared thermal textiles can maintain body temperature and improve comfort.

Improve blood circulation: Far infrared ray can promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism. The use of far-infrared textiles can reduce the risk of injury and improve performance, especially after prolonged exercise.

Improve skin health: Far infrared ray can stimulate the production of skin collagen, increase skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and fight against aging.

Improve energy efficiency: far-infrared textiles can reflect heat and reduce energy waste. In some applications, such as medical treatment and industry, the use of far infrared textiles can improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

It should be noted that the use method and use effect of far infrared textiles will be affected by many factors, such as the texture, color, shape, size, manufacturing method, etc.
