Keeping Natural Warmth with Self-Emitting Far Infrared Rays: 'Kodenshi®'
There's a company that upholds the philosophy: "changing the world with materials." That company is Hasetora Spinning Co., Ltd., and its group subsidiary, Fabest Co., Ltd. This functional material, known as 'Kodenshi®', was born from the idea that textiles, the things that stay closest to our bodies, can emit far infrared rays that regulate the body's temperature comfortably. Yet, their benefits aren't just limited to regulating body temperature. From these features, special product developments that can only be achieved with 'Kodenshi®' have emerged.
In this article, we bring exclusive inputs from Takaharu Hase, the representative of Fabest Co., Ltd., not only about the background and functionality of 'Kodenshi®', but also about the corporate philosophy of the Hasetora Group.
