Being lightweight, durable; moisture-resistant and breathable ThinsulateTM offers high insulating properties.
PCM are known to be substances that can change their physical state when body or outside temperatures rise or drop.
Comfortemp® is the brand name for intelligent nonwoven textile material into which mPCM materials have been integrated.
As an insulator for cold weather sleeping bags, jackets, parkas and ski boots, Thinsulate is a proven leader.
Modal® called the new “wonder” fabric is a bio-based textile which combines the benefits of natural fibre and the soft feel of modern microforms.
The latest innovation of the apparel and textile industries is moisture observant fabric.
The fabric provides higher comfort level than cotton and is very much in demand by the apparel manufacturers.
Nowadays, the demand for fabrics and technologies that provide warmth, comfort and ease of movement with less bulk has greatly increased.
The “intelligent” insulator Comfortemp® and the original “warmth without bulk” material, ThinsulateTM were ground-breaking technologies.
Thanks to mPCMs in Comfortemp® the manufacturer can regulate the insulation qualities of the fabric.
