Abstract
Disclosed is a thread combining multiple polymers. The thread consists of fibers of a first synthetic polymer of the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) family and fibers of a second synthetic polymer of the Polyimide family, wherein the first fibers and the second fibers are combined together such that the resulting material, forming the thread, blocks photons with wavelengths falling within a first range of wavelengths and allows passage of photons with wavelengths falling within a second range of wavelengths. Photons whose wavelengths are within the second range of wavelengths, allowed to pass by the resulting material, may contribute to tanning of human skin.
Claims16
A thread combining multiple polymers, said thread consisting of:
- fibers of a first synthetic polymer of the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) family;
- and
- fibers of a second synthetic polymer of the Polyimide family, wherein said first fibers and said second fibers are combined together such that the resulting material, forming said thread, blocks photons with wavelengths falling within a first range of wavelengths and allows passage of photons with wavelengths falling within a second range of wavelengths.
A clothing tan-through garment, said garment at least partially consisting of:
- fabric woven of threads, wherein said woven threads combine fibers of a first synthetic polymer of the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) family and fibers of a second synthetic polymer of the Polyimide family;
- and wherein said first fibers and said second fibers are combined together such that the resulting material, forming said woven threads, blocks photons with wavelengths falling within a first range of wavelengths and allows passage of photons with wavelengths falling within a second range of wavelengths.
A method for producing a thread, said method including:
- combining fibers of a first synthetic polymer of the Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) family with fibers of a second synthetic polymer of the Polyimide family at a ratio of roughly 65% to 35%, respectively, wherein the polyethylene terephthalate is made of particles of a maximal size of 500 nm;
- and
- heat pressing or fusing together the fibers of the first synthetic polymer and the fibers of the second synthetic polymer at a temperature of roughly 320 Degrees centigrade such that the produced thread is adapted to block photons with wavelengths falling within a first range of wavelengths and to allow passage of photons with wavelengths falling within a second range of wavelengths.
