Elkimia announces the launch of its new product NeoSolis™ to protect textile from UV sunlight.

Elkimia, a privately held Canadian company, proudly announces the launch of NeoSolis™, specially designed and formulated to protect textile from sunlight. In collaboration with CTT Group, Elkimia has succeeded, with the application of NeoSolis™, to protect various types of textile materials, particularly aramid, wool, polyester, nylon, and cotton from UV-light. The protective effect is significant against premature wear, tearing, discoloration as well as the permeability of the fabric. NeoSolis™ can be applied industrially using a padding process, integration by color pigments, by extrusion or directly on the thread. NeoSolis™ protection mechanism mimics a natural one used by Mycosporin-type amino acids.

Located in the heart of the city of Montreal, in Quebec, Canada, Elkimia has a mission to be a global leader and an essential player in UV-protection.

''After our breakthrough in the cosmetics market, we are proud to expand our product line to the textile industry with NeoSolis™. This great product fills an important need for UV-protection of aramids, particularly for firefighters or army garments and others outershells; NeoSolis™ is the result of several years of research that further proves the versatility of our platform in adapting solutions to industrial sectors which require UV protection’’
Elie A. Khalil
