There is disclosed a bioceramic matter as small in size as 300-475 mesh, comprising about 60.5-70.5% by weight of silica (SiO.sub.2), about 10.7-13.7% by weight of alumina (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) and about 10.8-20.8% by weight of an effective-ingredient mix. The effecitive ingredient mix comprises about 1.4-3.4% by weight of ferric oxide (Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3), about 0.3-0.7% by weight of magnesium oxide (MgO), about 0.8-1.6% by weight of calcium oxide (CaO), about 1.5-3.5% by weight of sodium oxide (Na.sub.2 O), about 0.4-2.4% by weight of potassium oxide (K.sub.2 O), about 0.09-0.1% by weight of phosphorous pentoxide (P.sub.2 O.sub.5), about 0.02-0.2% by weight of titanium (Ti), about 0.02-0.2% by weight of manganese (Mn), about 0.02-0.2% by weight of selenium (Se), about 15-25 ppm of germanium (Ge), and about 2.5-3.5% by weight of silver (Ag). The bioceramic matter is so small that it can be subjected to a liquid phase under which it can form intermolecular bonds with other materials, and has excellent biological effects on organisms, including maintenance of freshness of foods, deodorization, vitalization, antibacterial activity, etc.
A laminated sheet which contains a cross-linking foam material, and radiates far infrared so that it has heat-insulating and heat-retentive properties. The laminated sheet (1) has a three-layered structure including polyethylene foam (2) having a sheet shape that is one example of a cross-linking foam material in which a substance that radiates far infrared rays is mixed, non-woven fabric (3) having a sheet shape formed on a lower face thereof and a polyester film (4) formed on an upper face thereof. Since the laminated sheet of the present invention is allowed to radiate far infrared rays, it can greatly shorten the snow-melting time, etc., because of its heat reflection effects in comparison with a sheet made of a single material of non-woven fabric, and it also makes it possible to greatly improve heat-insulating and heat-retentive effects, and also to provide medical effects.
