TrapTek - L.E. Carbon Collection
Natural ingredient products seller TrapTek proudly announces the award of Time Magazine's Best Invention of 2005 for TrapTek activated carbon yarn incorporated in the Cannondale L.E. Carbon Collection of high performance biking apparel.
The TrapTek technology, which uses activated carbon made from coconut shells, is utilized in the L.E. Carbon biking jersey, bib shorts, gloves and socks.
Cannondale's L.E. Carbon Collection is constructed with TrapTek yarn that incorporates coconut shell activated carbon. Together with their partners, United Knitting and CKS Hosiery, they have created leading-edge fabrics designed for Cool Natural Comfort.
Activated carbon, made from coconut shells, is embedded within the fibers of the yarn using TrapTek's proprietary technology.
Strategic placement of the fabric created with TrapTek yarn allows for superior evaporative cooling as well as odor adsorption and UV protection.
US based TrapTek LLC is a company focused on science. The main objective is to develop and sell all-natural ingredient products based on scientific research conducted in their own labs.
