Optical and Technical Special Effects Fibers

Meadowbrook's newest Angelina® products include:

These Angelina® Fibers are considered optical and technical special effects fibers.


Angelina® Aluminum Metal Fibers are staple fibers composed of 100% aluminum metal or pigmented aluminum metal.

Angelina® Aluminum fibers have a luminous, glowing satin-like appearance is less sparkling than Angelina® polyester fibers. Angelina® Aluminum metal fibers lie flat in yarns and fabrics, with a high-tech metal look that is suitable for both women's and men's wear, as well as for luminous accents in upholstery, curtains, automotive, nonwovens, etc. "Luminous, radiant, glowing, energy embedded within its color" - is the look of the future.

Performance features:

  • Angelina® Aluminum Metal fiber (1145 alloy) was originally designed for applications requiring high temperature and solvent resistance. These fibers as fine as 15 denier, have a distortion temperature of 400F/ 204C.

  • Aluminum fibers are thermal regulating as they hold body heat from within and reflect it directly back to the body, still allowing the fabric to "breathe".

  • They are conductive fibers with therapeutic qualities and antistatic properties.

  • Angelina® Aluminum fibers are considered anti-stress fibers that may help shield against electromagnetic waves that deplete our natural serotonin and melatonin, the hormones that help guide our sleeping pattern and protect against some pathogenic effects.

  • UV radiation will not penetrate Angelina® fibers. Technical uses could include protective shielding against electric and electromagnetic interference among electronic devices such as cell phones and computers on airplanes, in hospitals and filtration.

  • Colored, reflective, flat surfaced Angelina® Aluminum Metal Fibers can give a paper touch to fabrics, that can be pleated, crushed, crinkled and given an aged lived-in look, adding texture to luminous color. Metal fibers can also be combined with soft merino or noble fibers.

  • Angelina® Aluminum fibers are suitable for dyeing and cross dyeing.

Angelina® Carbon Black Fiber is a conductive fiber and may help protect the body against damage by magnetic fields ("anti-stress"). It has a soft hand and attractive appearance. These carbon fibers are suitable for dyeing applications.

"Heat Bondable" Angelina® Fiber allows radiantly colored fibers to be heat bonded to each other creating a luminescent web of fibers, which further change in form and color when the layers melt together. Penetrating light is reflected and refracted and partially absorbed producing an incredibly luminous effect.
