This Smart blanket developed for airline market is made by brand-new “E-sustainable material”, specially designed for long-haul flights for nearly all Cabins. The knit wool-like fleece blanket is made by mix of Graphene and recycle material. Not only an environmentally friendly component from both Land (PET Recycle) and Sea (Seashell) but also includes Graphene fiber that can give fabrics to regulate human body temperature all while remaining breathability / comfortable, further it can enhance body blood circulation to relieve muscular fatigue and to avoid contracture during the long flight.
This Smart Blanket is made from advanced yarn with Seashell and recycle PET bottles, forming a special fabric aiming simulate a feeling of wool–like touch and texture. Another key component is addition of Graphene fiber. Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Thanks to its physical characteristics, Graphene has a set of astonishing properties which repeatedly earn it the title “wonder material”.
Graphene fiber is obtained by mixing Graphene and fiber material (Seashell and PET recycle) to form Graphene masterbatch, and then spinning through the fiber spinning process. The threads can create different aggregation effects in the fabric, which ultimately promotes heat transfer along the Graphene locations. The material acts as a filter between human skin and the environment, expelling heat in warmer weather and preserving and evenly distributing body heat in colder climates.
Other functions of this blanket, in addition to providing warmth, is that it has an anti-static function as the yarn from both Graphene’s and Seashell have a large portion of positive electricity and the human body has negative electricity, so that the two electricity will neutralize after wearing.
Both materials can also bring freshness and comfort to the passenger especially Graphene has been shown to have antibacterial and anti-odor properties, which makes it ideal for use in textiles that need to stay clean and fresh. This is particularly useful during the long-haul flight, where freshness & hygiene is of the utmost importance.
Finally, due to the main composition is recycled products, i.e. the polyester portion for the yarn of the Seashell is from recycle PET bottles, this helps our environment and reduce the waste of the nature resources.
Passengers will be greatly enhanced by using this Smart Blanket onboard. Not only does it look and feel great (like wool) but also improve inner energy (Passenger Friendly) as Graphene emits far-infrared, can quickly conduct heat and store heat for insulation thus can promote blood circulation. Passengers will not suffer from swollen limbs after long-haul flights.
Airlines will benefit greatly by offering this product to their passengers, which will reinforce their commitment to the environment and show the passengers that they are elevating their experience and are aware of the natural benefits of using this product. It’s a truly win-win for all.
Due to the natural characters of this fiber, our blanket dries quickly, wrinkle free and will enable the airline to spend less on laundering, more ecological product, whilst commitment to their corporate social responsibility.
This blanket not only looks and feels great, and it is made by natural, functional & sustainable material. By adding Graphene, which is a first in the Airline industry plus Seashell +recycled PET bottles, the blanket comes with Anti-static, Antibacterial and Anti-odor properties. Also quick to dry, which no other product in current market can compete.
