"Camellia" is a treatment that uses camellia oil and orange raffia oil. Since ancient times, "camellia oil," which is very close to the components of sebum, and "orange raffia oil," which contains many natural fats similar to human skin components, have been used for hair skincare, achieving a gentle treatment for the skin with these two natural oils. You can enjoy a silky touch and soft texture for each fiber material. 【Features】 ■ Uses camellia oil and orange raffia oil ■ Achieves a skin-friendly treatment with two natural oils ■ Enjoy a silky touch and soft texture for each fiber material *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Salasil" is a special processing technique that imparts the characteristics of silk fibers to woven fabrics by adsorbing silk protein, a natural protein extracted from silk. It provides moderate moisture absorption and retention, resulting in comfortable wear. The fabric finishes with the unique touch of silk protein and a smooth texture. It can impart a refined moderate luster, silk-like "flexibility," "drape," and "nobility." 【Features】 ■ Uses natural protein ■ Provides moderate moisture absorption and retention for comfortable wear ■ Finishes with the unique touch of silk protein and a smooth texture ■ Imparts a refined moderate luster ■ Suitable for shirt fabrics, blouse fabrics, and more *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Eight-Tenths Thermal Fabric" is a temperature-regulating processing that alleviates heat and cold. When a solid is heated, it absorbs latent heat during melting, and when a liquid is cooled, it releases latent heat to become solid. This processing utilizes high-purity paraffin wax encapsulated in microcapsules, which repeatedly absorbs and releases heat due to temperature changes, providing a buffering effect against external temperature fluctuations. [Features] - Alleviates heat and cold - Exhibits a buffering effect against external temperature changes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"EcoCelata" is an ecological water and oil repellent treatment realized in an environmentally conscious manner by carefully selecting agents that can be used for textile processing. It uses fluorine-based water repellents that do not contain PFOA or PFOS, which are being considered for international regulations due to global concerns about environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. Additionally, it does not use any agents that fall under the PRTR Law (Chemical Substances Control Law) or the Occupational Safety and Health Law. 【Features】 ■ Realized in an environmentally conscious manner ■ Uses fluorine-based water repellents that do not contain PFOA or PFOS ■ Does not use any agents that fall under the PRTR Law or the Occupational Safety and Health Law *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

"Offpolan" is a pollen release processing that is gentle on the skin due to amino acid derivatives with skincare effects. It creates nano-level ultra-fine unevenness on the fiber surface, minimizing the contact area between pollen and the fiber surface, making it difficult for pollen to adhere, and allowing for easy removal with a light shake even if it does stick. It keeps the amount of pollen brought into the home from clothing to a minimum. It can be widely applied to outerwear, shirts and blouses, bedding, curtains, and more. 【Features】 - Utilizes nano-sized (one billionth of a meter) technology - Keeps the amount of pollen brought into the home from clothing to a minimum - Gentle processing on the skin due to amino acid derivatives with skincare effects - Reduces adherence of dust and other particles besides pollen - Widely applicable to outerwear, shirts and blouses, bedding, curtains, and more *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

"Flesh" is a cooling processing that uses highly safe materials extracted from natural sources. Xylitol, found in birch, corn, strawberries, and plums, exhibits an endothermic reaction when moisture is applied. This processing adds moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties to the characteristics of xylitol. On hot summer days, the rapid absorption of sweat and quick drying lowers the temperature inside the clothing while maintaining a refreshing sensation. 【Features】 ■ Uses highly safe materials extracted from natural sources ■ Adds moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties to the characteristics of xylitol *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
