* SCIENCE - INDEPENDENTLY TESTED - VERIFIABLE PERFORMANCE
Every InfraCycle® claim on this site traces back to independent third-party data. FIR emissivity, temperature-rise testing, and wash-cycle durability verify that the platform performs across the dimensions that matter on the body and over time, all under the international GB/T 30127-2013 textile FIR-radiation standard.
HOW WE MEASURE ENERGY CYCLES.
// FRAMEWORK · THREE DIMENSIONS OF FIR PERFORMANCE
/ TEST 01
FIR EMISSIVITY
Measures the relative power of a surface to emit infrared energy on a 0 to 1 scale. Higher emissivity means more efficient FIR return to the body. The GB/T 30127-2013 pass threshold is 0.88 for general samples and 0.83 for loose samples.
/ Scale: 0–1 · Pass ≥ 0.88 (general) · ≥ 0.83 (loose)
/ TEST 02
FIR TEMPERATURE RISE
Quantifies the temperature differential generated by FIR re-emission in contact with a heat-source surface. Higher temperature rise means a more pronounced energy-return effect right next to the skin.
/ Unit: °C · Pass ≥ 1.4°C (general) · ≥ 3.0°C (loose)
/ TEST 03
WASH DURABILITY
Compares FIR emissivity before and after standardized wash cycles. Embedded platforms hold performance because the active mineral system lives inside the polymer matrix, not on the surface.
/ Method: Pre-wash vs. post-wash emissivity hold
// FEATURED STUDY · FIR EMISSION & TEMPERATURE RISE
0.95 EMISSIVITY.
>5.0°C TEMPERATURE RISE.
Conducted under the GB/T 30127-2013 international standard for textile FIR radiation properties, this study measured both FIR emissivity and the active temperature rise generated by InfraCycle® fabric in contact with a calibrated heat source, capturing both halves of the energy cycle in a single test protocol.
Emissivity quantifies how efficiently the fabric returns infrared energy across the FIR spectrum. Temperature rise quantifies the actual warming effect that emission produces at the surface in contact with the body. Together, they confirm both the mechanism and the outcome, proof that InfraCycle® doesn't just emit; it returns measurable energy to the wearer.
