In order to solve such problems, we focused on and adopted Pieclex, a new material that has an antibacterial effect (*1.) by generating weak electricity when the fibers of the fabric move due to human movement. . ■Product information

https://www.yoshidamoto.co.jp/pages/153/detail=1/b_id=866/r_id=2322/#block866-2322 Piecurex generates weak electricity when the fibers move when a person moves, and exhibits an antibacterial effect (*1.). It is also effective against odor-causing bacteria, making it an effective odor countermeasure. By using a special pattern on the underarm area (back), the range of motion is wider than a regular T-shirt, making it easier to move and reducing the feeling of tension when moving your arms. The jacket has a unique high collar design to prevent your bare skin from directly touching the jacket and getting dirty, and the collar is also wide to prevent the jacket from slipping off. Image

The plant-derived polylactic acid that is the raw material for Piecrex generates electricity due to the piezoelectric effect (*2) when stress is applied. Therefore, when the fibers move due to the movement of a person, a weak electricity is generated, which exerts an antibacterial effect (*1.). It is also effective against odor-causing bacteria, making it an effective odor
countermeasure. The antibacterial effect of Piecurex is not due to the application of antibacterial agents, but is based on the antibacterial properties of the fiber itself, so you can use it with confidence. Also, the effect lasts no matter how many times you wash it. Image

Effects vary depending on usage conditions. (*2.) The piezoelectric effect is a phenomenon in which voltage is generated when pressure is applied to a specific substance. ■About Yoshida Moto Kogyo Co., Ltd.
