The following article is
actually an advertisement by the HeiQ company. Thai company is a chemical
company that has created in their minds chemicals that when added to fabrics
made for clothing enhance the cloth in a myriad of ways such as making the water
repellent, kill odors to name two. Now they have one flat out remarkable
chemical that does the impossible!!!
HeiQ and
Standard Fibers to announce next generation bio-based “starts cool, stays
cool” fabric technology at Heimtextil
HeiQ adds bio-based thermo-functional polymer products to their
HeiQ Smart Temp family
for a full range of intelligent thermoregulation triggered by body heat.
The newly introduced products add dual-action cooling at contact to the
already successful dynamic evaporative cooling technology.
What are
they talking about? “Dual-action cooling at contact to the already dynamic
evaporative technology”. What does this mean? Other than the body being
cooled by natural evaporative cooling the only way it can be enhanced is
if you stand in front of a fan.
Launched in 2011, HeiQ Smart Temp was a pioneer in intelligent
thermoregulation technology for textiles. Continuous refinements of this
product range have allowed HeiQ to be the go-to solution provider as its
technologies offer not only
industry-leading dynamic evaporative cooling performance,
but also ease of application and a friendly price point for brand
partners.
The only
thing HeiQ is a pioneer in is the many different ways they can present I suspect
only one chemical that does in their warped minds many different things. Chemicals
have no effect on thermoregulation. Adding chemicals to fabrics means
nothing to the way the fabric works. Like Sunoco years ago, one chemical
with different prices.
The latest
breakthrough with cool touch technology allows consumers
to touch, feel and understand the technology at point-of-sale, and ensures
thermal comfort at all times by providing the benefits of cool at contact
and continuous evaporative cooling. It is currently optimized for use on home
textile products such as mattress ticking and bed linens.
All HeiQ Smart Temp products are
Oeko-Tex® Class 1-4 conform, bluesign® and USDA
BioPreferred pending.
The latest
breakthrough of what? Consumers will not know a damn thing about the
fabric when they touch it. Who is going to sit there and tell them of
this miraculous technology, no one! when you are home and get into your
bed ALL of your moisture migrates through your 100 percent cotton sheets
and your blanket or comforter. Have you every noticed it being wet? The companies
noted are their friends so they agree with them. I hope the usda walks
from this non-sense.
As the demand for thermo-functional polymer applications continues to
grow, HeiQ created HeiQ Iberia to focus on this product development.
There are three new products (two more in the pipeline) in the range that
all provide instant cooling from a bio-based thermo-functional polymer,
and each product is optimized to perform on specific items such as
mattress ticking or bedding accessories. By adding a new category of
products to the range, HeiQ now has a broad range of intelligent
thermoregulation solutions
for home textile market.
HeiQ is launching these products for home textiles with their partner Standard Fiber
at Heimtextil Frankfurt (7-10 January 2020).
There is
no demand for “thermo-polymer applications” they are trying to create one.
it will never happen. Apparently, they are having limited success in the
outdoor industry so they are trying the home furnishing market.
“We have more and
more business developing around temperature-regulating technologies”,
says Sandy Gray, CEO at Standard Fiber LLC. “To support our mission of continuously
introducing new technologies and innovations to our customers, we are
excited to work with HeiQ and present HeiQ Cool Touch technologies to our
customers to elevate and differentiate their products in the market”.

HeiQ Smart Temp is
a family of revolutionary textile technologies providing fabrics with the
ability to dynamically respond to body heat. The cooling function is activated
when you are hot and sweaty and deactivated once cooling is complete.
Just one more chemical
company trying to impose their product on us citizens of the free world with
more and more chemicals to leach into our skin so we can become more and more
chemically sensitive. It is up to each and every one of us to refuse to buy
products that are detrimental to our health.
