WHAT IS Q-GEO?
Q-GEO® IS A SPECIAL POLYAMIDE YARN THAT PROVIDES A COMBINATION OF COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE IN A BIO-BASED FORMULA.
It is a bio-based polyamide yarn obtained from renewable sources and has unique characteristics such as superior moisture management, capable of ensuring high comfort to the wearer. In addition, Q-GEO® is a good flame retardant without the need to add halogenated products. Another special feature is the durability that gives to the garments lasting colour and performance.

LCA
LCA is a process of evaluating the effects that a product has on the environment over the entire period of its life thereby increasing resource-use efficiency and decreasing liabilities. It can be used to study the environmental impact of either a product or the function the product is designed to perform, identifying and quantifying the environmental loads involved; e.g. the energy and raw materials consumed and the emissions generated. Also, evaluating the potential environmental impacts of these loads allow assessing the options available for reducing these environmental impacts.
DIN CERTCO
Q-GEO® by Fulgar is DIN CERTCO certified according to the ASTM D 6866:2022 R.N 8C376 method.
