HALOGLAS FIR Glass: Material Characterization, Biocompatibility & Biological Effects
Abstract
This study reports the development and systematic evaluation of a far‑infrared (FIR) functional glass material (HALOGLAS). FIR radiation has been widely investigated for its biological interactions, particularly in relation to thermal regulation and cellular activity. The material was characterized using standardized analytical methods and independently tested by accredited laboratories. HALOGLAS exhibits stable FIR emission with a normal total emissivity of 0.88 at 40 °C across a wavelength range of 2.5–25 μm, consistent with biologically relevant infrared regions. Chemical safety testing confirms compliance with international food‑contact standards, with minimal heavy‑metal migration. Antibacterial assays demonstrate significant activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In vitro biological evaluations suggest modulation of inflammatory markers (TNF‑α, IL‑6), enhanced ATP production, and increased collagen synthesis, which are associated with cellular metabolic activity. These findings indicate that HALOGLAS is a promising multifunctional material for applications in functional consumer products and healthcare‑related materials. Further in vivo validation is required to establish clinical relevance.
