Abstract
To provide a novel far infrared radiation emitting material which can efficiently emit the thermal energy required for the excitation of water molecules contained in animal and vegetable bodies including human organizations, can be produced at a low cost and is highly usable in general-purpose applications. The far infrared radiation emitting material of the present invention comprises 60 to 90% by weight of at least one type selected from titanium dioxide and titanium carbide, 10 to 40% by weight of at least one type selected from silicon dioxide and silicon carbide and 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of an oxide of a rare earth metal. Further, a far infrared radiation emitting material having a plate, cylindrical or fibrous shape is formed of a composition containing this far infrared radiation emitting material and a synthetic resin and utilized.
