Ceramiq®

Sportswear Ceramiq® benefits from a unique technology for extraordinary sports sensations.

When it's cool, the Ceramiq® technology helps increase the garment's internal temperature while maintaining the fabric's breathability, resulting in a very high thermal comfort even in extreme conditions.

This technology, printed on the fabric, is the result of the fusion of about thirty metal oxides, coming from volcanic rocks from Japan.

Acclaimed by elite athletes, the Ceramiq® brand offers a complete range of technical sportswear for all athletes, whether beginners or experienced. Whether it's before, during, or after exercise.

The different Ceramiq® systems are the result of significant fundamental research, which began in Japan and concluded in France in 2008.

The basic idea is the proportional combination of a set of metal oxides that have the property of absorbing and reemitting body heat (i.e., far infrared).

Far infrared for improved performance

Far infrared therapies have been used for over 3,000 years by the Chinese and other Southeast Asian cultures.

The human body emits far infrared rays at a wavelength of around 9.5 micrometers under normal ambient conditions. In order to maintain our body temperature around 37°C, our body emits far infrared rays when it needs to "regulate" itself.

This textile concept allows to partially recover the energy loss emitted by our body (heat loss during efforts) and returns it to us. This is the "Mirror" effect.

The rock powder incorporated into the polymer is printed on the fabric surface.

Ground into fine particles, it is incorporated into a polymer that we print on the fabric surface.

The technology application (ceramic application and finishing treatment) is carried out by us directly in our workshops in Gérardmer in the Vosges.

Proved

By scientific studies

The various benefits experienced by athletes have been clinically tested. These studies enabled us to receive the Innovation Trophy from the CCI Vosges in 2011 as well as the "SME Let's Move" trophy in 2013 presented by the BFM-RMC network.

These studies demonstrate an improvement in postural stability, better thermoregulation, and increased recovery ease when wearing the products after exercise.
