Ordinary Insulation
Material will reduce heat
transformations but not
efficiently. Thick layers
of cloth or padding are
needed. Heat escapes.

LITRAX THERMO BAMBOO needs a much thinner
layer for strong insulation. Heat is stored in the
bamboo and reflected back to the body.

FAQ - How it works
How well does LITRAX TWO Thermobamboo insulate?
LITRAX TWO THERMOBAMBOO provides exceptional clothing insulation properties
in terms of the standard textile thermal insulation unit (clo unit). LITRAX TWO THERMO
BAMBOO fibers can insulate from 0.8 to over 3.9 Clo, a unit of thermal insulation used
for clothing. which can be projected in to a massive and unprecedent ~27.5°Celsius of
raised temperature. The amount of insulation required to keep a resting person warm in a
windless room at 70 °F (21.1 °C) is equal to 1 Clo.
How to test insulation?
EN13537 and ASTM1518-1985 methods, or with a thermo camera (for coloured effects)
What does the Clo unit mean?
The clo is a measure of thermal resistance. It measures the insulation provided by any layer
of trapped air between skin and clothing and the insulation value of the clothing itself. 1 clo
unit will maintain a sedentary man comfortable indefinitely in an environment of 21°C
(70°F), 50% relative humidity, and 0.01 m/s (20 ft/min) air movement. Assuming no wind
penetration and no body movements to pump air around, clothing insulation = 0.15 x
weight of clothes in lbs. (i.e., 0.15 clo per lb of clothes). So 10 lbs. clothes = 1.5 clo. A thick
business suit provides an average of approximately 1 clo of intrinsic insulation for the whole
body. Common textiles such as shirts and pullovers display values between 0.5 - 1.1 clo
while standard insulation values of bedding can be between 1.4 and 1.6 clo.
LITRAX TWO THERMO BAMBOO fibers insulate up to 3.2 Clo with fiber padding (filling of
jackets, shoes) and could also be used for enhanced construction insulation.
