![<p><strong>Knit Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Knits are either active or circular knits, with or without nap or pile. Knit is worn in all layers of the clothing systems, for example, as fleece or softshells. Knit products can be produced from all types of materials, whether natural fibres, mix qualities, or synthetic fibres.</p> Knit Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_knitted.png)
![<p><strong>Woven Fabrics<br /></strong></p>
<p>Bonded and laminated materials for jackets and pants that combine the features of the second and third layers of functional clothing systems. It is claimed to be used in 80% of all activities. Softshells may be made of woven or knit fabrics, however, the seams may not be taped. Softshells usually have elastic properties.</p> Woven Fabrics](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_woven.png)

![<p><strong>Quick Dry</strong></p>
<p>Materials that distribute absorbed moisture over a larger area, effectively allowing them to evaporate faster. The quick drying properties can be achieved by the type of fiber, fiber cross section, fabric construction, or treatment.</p> Quick Dry](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_quick_dry.png)
![<p><strong>Stretch</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that are elastic because of their fiber inserts and/or fabric structure. This category is further sub-divided in two or four way stretch (bi- and multi-stretch).</p> Stretch](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_stretch.png)
![<p><strong>Thermo-Regulation</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics that regulate (cool or warm) the body temperature of the wearer, for example by fiber type, fiber cross section, etc. Can also be achieved by fabric construction or finishes/ treatments.</p> Thermo-Regulation](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Thermo-Regulation.png)
![<p><strong>Waterproof & Breathable</strong></p>
<p>Fabrics and agents for the production of waterproof clothing. The term waterproof implies coated or laminated materials, which can achieve the minimum water column requirements (in mm). Whether a fabric is classified as waterproof depends on the relevant standard. In Europe, the standard is EN-ISO-811, which specifies a minimum value of 1500 mm. The Japanese JIS method demands the attainment of a minimum value of 3000 mm. The height of the water column is application dependent, so higher values are sometimes necessary.</p>
<p>A functional fabric should provide good breathability. This is expressed by the MVTR. The value is given in g/m²/24h – the higher the value, the better the breathability.</p> Waterproof & Breathable](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_waterproof_breathable.png)
![<p><strong>Safety, Health & Durability</strong></p>
<p>Safety clothing for hazardous activities or for professions where special protection is required. Depending on the application area, it must comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) categories or show compliance with multiple standards. Also to be used for mountaineering and other application areas with extremely high standards.</p> Safety, Health & Durability](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_WORKWEAR_&_HEAVY_DUTY.png)
![<p><strong>Flame Retardant<br /></strong></p>
<p>Heat and flame protection: Flame retardant fabrics for clothing or accessories for use in work clothes and protective garments, for example, road and building construction, or blast furnaces, or firefighting. This feature can be found in fabrics for the base, mid, or outer layer. Based on area of application, the materials are expected to meet one or more of the following standards:</p>
<ul>
<li>EN ISO 11612 – Protective clothing – for protection against heat and flames</li>
<li>EN ISO 11611 – Protective clothing ­ for welding and related processes</li>
<li>EN 61482-1-2 – Protective clothing ­ for protection against the thermal hazards of an arc welder (Class 1 electric arcs).</li>

![<p><strong>Mono Component</strong></p>
<p>Materials that consist of only one material and can be recycled completely. Membranes, more-layered fabrics as well as accessories need to be mono-component in order to be circular.<span><br /></span></p> Mono Component](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Mono_Component.png)
![<p><strong>Biodegradable</strong></p>
<p><span>Materials which degrade to carbon dioxide, biomass, hydrogen/water, oxygen and methane with microorganisms over a certain period of time, depending on the surroundings.

![<p><strong>Circular product</strong></p>
<p>The life-cycle of a product starts with its concept or design, and is followed by production, sales, use (with or without maintenance to make it more durable / longer in use)... Somewhere along the life cycle of the products, it loses its value for the user and ends up as waste (on an official disposal site or in nature). If the product remains unused, it is called a ‘lose end’ whereas the end can also be a new beginning if the loop is closed. To compost, biodegrade and recycle a material, there are different ways to keep it in use and thereby extend the life-cycle/loop. </p>
<p>In addition to the close loop principle, "Cradle-to-Cradle" is a specific term used to describe clothing in a cycle. Instead of afterwards considering the options of how the material can be recycled at the end of its use, the best composition of the material is considered in advance in order to return it to the closed loop. The materials are thus spared of any unnecessary recycling processes.</p> Circular product](/files/performancedays/content/performance-codes/icon_Circular_product.png)

Our story begins in 1991, when Mr. Jianhua Shen, the founder and now president of Xinao, started the first factory in Chongfu Town, Tongxiang City, in the scenic lands of Yangze River Delta.Three decades have passed since then, in which Xinao has grown and evolved,thanks to a holistic approach and constant and unstoppable development, which has allowed our merino wool tops and yarns to be appreciated and used by the best Chinese and international brands. Today our challenge is to extend our production to all natural fibers, first and foremost that of cashmere. A challenge now possible thanks to the fact that we are a complete and vertical textile pole, a sustainable and cutting-edge industrial ecosystem, with a production capacity of 18,000 tons of worsted yarns and 3,000 tons of woollen yarns per year.Definitely large quantities, but made without never neglecting the best quality.
