Smart textile for stable thermal comfort
ThermoBalance helps reduce the sensation of overheating and cold when ambient temperature changes.
Value
The material can be used in apparel, equipment and interior textiles, improving thermal comfort without making the product heavier.
Testing and application
ThermoBalance is already used as a thermoregulating textile material. Its structure is based on a microencapsulated heat-storage component, and its effectiveness is confirmed by thermal imaging tests.
Development features
Microencapsulated material for controlled heat exchange
ThermoBalance technology is based on fixing microcapsules with a heat-storage component on a textile base. The functional finish helps regulate heat exchange while preserving fabric breathability and tactile comfort.
- Selecting a textile base with density, softness and wear resistance in mind.
- Applying a functional finish with thermoregulating microcapsules.
- Fixing the active layer without noticeable material weight increase.
- Testing property stability after mechanical and wet treatments.
- Evaluating use scenarios in apparel, equipment and interior textiles.
Textile base
Nonwoven materials, knitted and cellulose fabrics with a comfortable texture and breathability.
Phase-change microcapsules
Microcapsules store heat when the active core melts and release it during crystallization, helping smooth temperature fluctuations.
Protective binding layer
Fixes the microcapsules on the textile base and helps preserve the material resource during use and care.
Prototype technical characteristics
Parameters are confirmed and refined based on laboratory sample testing.
Material base
- Nonwoven materials, knitted and cellulose fabrics.
- Microcapsules based on phase-change substances.
- Binding components for fixing the functional coating.
Key properties
- Fabric thermoregulating ability based on thermal imaging tests.
- Breathability and vapor permeability after treatment.
- Functional finish stability after washing cycles and mechanical impact.
Application scenarios
- Apparel and equipment for contrasting temperature conditions.
- Products for conditions with variable thermal regimes.
- Textile materials with moderate frequency of use and care.
