Unlike traditional functional materials designed for quick-drying and antibacterial/antiodor, AddElm is a functional material developed with human physiology as its foundation along with consideration for its effects on the human body. This has drawn attention to the developers, AddElm Co., Ltd.
The company has defined the functional materials classified through fabric evaluation tests as 1G (1st Generation) and those developed in consideration of their effect on human physiology, and whose impact is evaluated as 2G (2nd Generation). They are said to be developing next-generation functional materials accordingly.
Currently, 'AddElm' offers four types: 'add.00' to support sleep, 'add.01' for relaxation, 'add.02' for enlivening daily life, and 'add.03' targeting athletes. The aim is to activate human potential through wearing and adapt it to their respective usage.
So this time, we had a chance to hear from the company's chairman, Takeshi Sugimoto, about the background leading to the development of 'AddElm', its features and how it differs from existing functional materials, and future plans.
