Our Materials

HIGH-TECH FOR COMFORT AND DURABILITY

It all starts with the spinning mass for the yarn. Titanium dioxide is already melted down here for UV protection. The fineness of the yarns that are then produced during the spinning process is the basis of wearing comfort. The composition with elastane, the skill and the sophisticated technology in weaving, knitting and dyeing of our European suppliers create the fabric we need for our hyphen products:

Our fabrics are airy, light and cool on the skin, breathable, elastic, resistant to chlorine and salt water and, above all, UV-resistant.

UV protection for sensitive skin

This is particularly appreciated by our customers who have sensitive skin or suffer from neurodermatitis. The special shape and bundling of the yarns and the complex technology with which the yarns are processed into fabrics create a microfibre material that lies smooth and cooling on the skin like silk and avoids irritation caused by friction or increased sweating. The ‘textile bodyguard’ can be worn all day like a second skin. This is ensured by the dermatologically flawless materials as well as the high breathability and careful processing, for example with flat seams that do not chafe in sensitive areas such as under the armpits. The fabrics are very breathable and dry quickly, making them suitable for all activities in the water and on land.

If UV radiation has to be avoided for medical reasons, this can be particularly stressful - both physically and mentally. We bring the fun back into summer - with particularly safe and skin-friendly UV protective clothing. We have been supporting the work of self-help groups for children with burns and for xeroderma pigmentosum patients for many years. Absolutely safe and high UV protection is a vital ‘must’ for them.

Our clothing saves these patients from having to wear thick, dark and multi-layered clothing, giving them a little more freedom of movement and comfort. It is particularly important for people with sensitive skin, neurodermatitis or a sun cream allergy to protect themselves from the sun. We have a solution that allows them to enjoy the sun on the beach and in the water without any worries. It is also important for people with robust skin to know that UV exposure in and around the water is significantly higher due to the stronger light reflection and requires more intensive protection, especially in places where people prefer to wear very little clothing.
