Highlighting RIL’s Pioneering Innovations
RIL will introduce several pathbreaking products at BharatTex 2025, including:
- Hexarel™ Quanta: a revolutionary fabric line powered by graphene, a Nobel Prize-winning material, to deliver advanced Far Infrared (FIR) technology. These fabrics absorb and re-emit the body’s natural FIR radiation, enhancing comfort and well-being. Key benefits include thermal regulation through Tog and Clo ratings, sweat-wicking properties, UPF sun protection, anti-static features, and antimicrobial functionality that combats odor. Designed for versatility, the fabrics are compatible with dyeing applications, customizable knitting patterns, and a range of materials like nylon and polyester. Suitable for sportswear, innerwear, formal attire, and home textiles, Hexarel™ Quanta intelligently adapts to the wearer’s needs, offering unmatched comfort, hygiene, and energy enhancement. Its graphene-infused technology also provides protection from extreme conditions, making it ideal for performance wear and everyday use.
- R|Elan SuPer: A 3-in-1 fiber made from post-consumer recycled PET bottles, offering natural fibre feel, moisture management, and enhanced performance.
- R|Elan Smartex: A graphene-embedded fabric providing anti-static, UV protection, odor control, and cooling properties, ensuring comfort and freshness.
- r-SHT: A super high-tenacity polyester sewing thread from 100% post-consumer PET bottles, offering high strength and low shrinkage.
- ecotherm: An innovative fiber made from polyester waste, providing exceptional warmth and a unique soft hand feel.
These innovations demonstrate RIL’s leadership in creating sustainable, high-performance textile solutions.
