Shikibo has confirmed that cool & dry material "Trehacool" which is compatible with cool-biz has a deodorizing effect on odors associated with aging and perspiration. It will promote "Trehacool" from its 2007 spring/summer product line as a cool & dry fabric for cool-biz with quick-dry, heat releasing, soil release and deodorant properties.

(Note): "Trehacool" is a cool & dry material compatible with cool-biz, which has enhanced its heat releasing property by combining cotton with "trehalose" generally used in materials for foods and skincare cosmetics in a collaboration between Shikibo and Hayashibara Biochemical Labs as of April 2006.
