CASA DA MALHA

Product and Description

• CM01519
• The polyamide used is EVO by FULGAR®, with 100% bio-based content. The main part comes from the inedible castor plant, and the remaining material comes from industrial corn.
  The castor plant grows wild, and the corn used is planted on lands that do not compete with traditional food crops. Only 40% of the corn kernel is used—the rest is sold for other food and feed markets.
  Besides being made with renewable raw materials, the performance of EVO is surprising:
  It’s ultra-light;
  Super stretch—has a modulus of elasticity that is greatly superior to any other polyamides 6.6;
  Extremely breathable;
  Dries quickly—50% faster compared to 100% polyamide 6.6;
  Has intrinsic thermal insulation properties—protecting the wearer from variations in external temperature;
  Has built-in bacteriostatic capacity—providing natural odor control (stopping bad smells before they start).
  
  The elastane we used is the Regen Bio-Based elastane from creora® (which has 98% bio-based content). It is made from renewable resources, mitigating carbon emissions and eliminating resource scarcity concerns, and it performs just as well as standard elastane.
  As you can see from this knit, its elasticity is no different from what we’re used to with conventional elastane.
  
  And with the well-known Lyocell TENCEL™, which, besides the comfort and smooth surface, improves an unfavorable environment for bacterial growth. It is a fiber that absorbs moisture efficiently, and because it has a higher vapor uptake, it supports the body’s thermal regulating mechanism.
