Merino wool offers a set of unique qualities capable of offering effective solutions to the demands of different industries. We invite you to learn more and find a way to add it to your projects.
Sustainability
Wool is the natural protection of sheep and grows naturally throughout their lives, making it a renewable resource. Shearing is necessary for the comfort of the animals and is carried out without affecting their well-being. The durability of merino is among the highest of fibers and this reduces the impact of its production to a minimum.
Hygroscopy
Wool has this unique quality that allows it to absorb moisture from the environment that surrounds it and retain it without wetting other surfaces. In clothing, this quality is used because the garment absorbs perspiration without moistening the skin. In construction, insulating fillers keep construction panels dry. In gardening, merino pots allow you to conserve moisture without damaging the roots.
Flexibility and elasticity
A merino fiber can be bent thousands of times before breaking, making it very resistant to extreme uses.
Fireproofing
Merino fibers reject fire and are self-extinguishing.
Adjustable thermos
This property allows a merino cover to be cool or warm as required.
Breathable
The structure of each merino fiber makes it a breathable material that does not absorb odors and is very light.
UV resistant
Wool is the sheep's natural protection against climatic factors, including UV rays.
