Unique Features of NEORON
1. Superb Heat Insulation
2. Superior Moisture Permeability
3. Generate Negative Ions
4. Excellent Flame Retardancy
The new fiber "NEORON” was invented exclusively for Nefful by Teiken Limited. Both NEFFUL and TEIKEN have put forth full devotion towards the innovation of Neoron’s research and development. All our efforts have been focused on implementing Neoron into production for 2014. The new technology and research invested has suggested that Neoron creates better material blends for better products! Neoron fiber is made from most of the same materials as Teviron and retains all of its features.
What is Neoron?
Neoron is a new fiber invented exclusively for Nefful by Teiken Limited and launched in 2014
The name NEORON comes from NE which stands for Nefful and NEO meaning new, as it is the newest fiber creation
NEORON fiber retains all the same features as TEVIRON: which are Superb Heat Insulation, Superior Moisture Permeability, Negative Static Electricity and Excellent Flame Retardancy.
Neoron’s brand new innovation also comes with a new logo, resealable packaging and product coding. The new logo resembles the wind which is symbolic to the comfortability of all Neoron products. The new packaging comes in a resealable uniform design along with English and Chinese instructions. The new product coding for Neoron is a simplistic code, consisting of the following categories:
AS –AccessoriesBI –Bedding ItemsLS –Legwear and SocksUW –UnderwearSG –Support Goods
Teviron / Neoron?
Teviron is Nefful’s first generation fiber material. Neoron is our second generation fiber which was jointly developed by Teiken and Nefful.
Teviron/NeoronBenefits
Teviron is a negative ion fibre transformed from polyvinyl chloride. Its ingenious invention and its unique features won the Okochi Award, the highest honour in the Japanese fibre industry, the Onshi Invention Award given by the late Emperor Hirohito of Japan and the Chemistry Technological Award given by the prestigious Chemistry Association of Japan.
Superb Heat Insulation
An experiment was conducted by the Japan Society for Occupational Health. Five elbow pads were manufactured out of five materials i.e. Cotton, Rayon, Wool, Acrylic and Teviron. The testee wears only one elbow pad and the difference in temperature of the skin with and without the elbow pad is observed. Results show that when the room temperature is set at 25oC, differences in the temperature between these five types of fibre are not obvious. However, as the temperature gradually lowers, the temperature of the arm wearing the elbow pad made of Teviron is higher than the other bare arm. The difference in temperature is relatively obvious while other fibres create no distinct difference. This implies that in general circumstances, there is no distinct difference in temperature regardless of the material of the clothes that we wear. However, when the temperature falls, Teviron’s ability to keep us warm is much better compared to wool or any other materials.Due to its supreme ability to keep warm, Teviron undergarments have been chosen by famous Japanese mountaineers and also by a group of Japanese challengers to the Artic Circle.
Therefore, by wearing Teviron, we can easily maintain our body temperature whether we are in an air-conditioning office or out in the hot sun to ensure proper blood circulation without interruption. Poor blood circulation can often lead to blood clots and hamper the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to our cells.
Superior Moisture Permeability
Heat insulation can be stifling hot, which keeps sweat inside the material and is uncomfortable, or it can be dry and warm. Since Teviron does not absorb water and has superior sweat dispersion features, it is not only warm but also dry.Many people might think that since Teviron has great heat insulation and does not absorb water, it is not a breathable material and therefore, be uncomfortable to wear. A study conducted by the Carl Marx Textile Research Institute of Germany shows that the Teviron allows rapid water dispersion (sweat is expelled from the tiny pores between the fibres, without being absorbed by the fibres) and therefore, keeps the wearer dry and warm. We call this "sweat dispersion technology" and the only material that can reach this level of sweat dispersion is Teviron.
A test subject was asked to wear a specially made shirt with Teviron on the left and cotton on the right side. The subject started to exercise and was asked to stop after humidity level reached about 80%. The cotton side took approximately 40 minutes to dry but the Teviron side only need 10 minutes to be completely dry, thanks to its sweat dispersion technology. It is during these 30 minutes that our immune system is most vulnerable. Not only will we feel uncomfortable having wet clothes against our bodies and our body warmth be taken away as the sweat evaporates, the sweat will be reabsorbed into our bodies, making us more susceptible to falling ill. Also, as you may know, it takes 539 calories to vaporise 1 c.c. of sweat. You will feel extremely fatigued just to vaporise your sweat. No wonder we feel so tired on a hot day!
Excellent Flame Retardancy
Teviron is a very safe material. It is not easy to burn and has no extended burning property. If we light a piece of cotton and Teviron, the cotton will continue to burn and Teviron, instead, only singes around the area where it was lit and a black lump forms. It will give out a strange smell that can alert us that something is burning so that we can take immediate action. Teviron is awarded the Fire Resistance label by the Japan Fire Retardant Association
Health: Amazing Negative Ions Technology
When two fabrics rub against each other, one side generates positive static electricity while the other generates negative electricity. When rubbing against all fabrics or skin, Teviron can generate negative static electricity (tests were conducted by the Textile Research Institute of Japan). The unique negative ion effect generated by Teviron is good for health.
It is a fact that the largest organ in our body is our skin. Experts believe that we are only able to absorb 15% of negative ions through breathing. However, our skin can absorb up to 85 % of negative ions. Therefore, our body can absorb 100% of negative ions if we wear Teviron/Neoron.For negative ions to be beneficial to health, it has to satisfy the following 3 conditions;1. In close proximity to the human body2. In huge quantities (over 100,000 per c.c. of air can help our body to self-heal)3. In contact over a long period of timeOnly Teviron meets the above requirements as Teviron has very high negative ions content. We can have a negative ions environment around us 24/7 just by changing our clothes to Teviron/Neoron.
History and sales channels of TevironTeviron is invented in 1955 and retailed by Nefful Japan since 1979. Nefful Japan was founded in 1973 by Mr. Hisami Kamijo and their headquarters are located in Shizuoka City, Japan.Nefful is dedicated to the development of undergarments and it is the first to adopt a "home party" sales channel in Japan to share the products that the company has developed.To help the public live a healthy and high-quality life, Nefful started to sell Teviron series health products in 1979. A product noted for its negatively charged ions, it is highly acclaimed for its physical enhancement properties and its unique research and development.Nefful expanded overseas to Taiwan in 1989, USA in 2002, Hong Kong in 2005, Malaysia in 2006, and Singapore in 2010.Sustained expansion continues under the direction and leadership of company President, Mr. Toshiya Kamijo.Country of manufacture: All Teviron/Neoron products are manufactured in Japan with the highest standards of quality control.
