Technical Absorbents continued advancements in its coolant technology will be showcased at Intertextile Shanghai in October and the UK's Emergency Services show in November. Both events will further enhance the company's position within the performance apparel market as it displays its KoolSorb and KoolEvap fabric technologies.

Intertextile Shanghai will take place between 22-25 October at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. This is the first time that TAL will have exhibited at the event and it is hoped that visitors involved in the creation of performance garments will be excited by its latest fabric developments.

The Emergency Services Show will be held over 5th and 6th November, and is aimed at personnel from the emergency services looking for the latest in gadgets, equipment and technologies. TAL's KoolSorb fabric should generate significant interest at this event.

KoolEvap

KoolEvap is a KoolSAF-containing absorbent nonwoven, used in the design of three-layer absorption cooling fabrics. It is sandwiched between two other fabric layers. When soaked, the KoolEvap core holds and contains the water from which the evaporation occurs. The outer and inner layers can be tailored as required to suit garment design.

The final three-layer fabrics can be converted into many apparel forms which are designed to be worn over undergarments. The wearer pre-soaks the garment with water and through evaporation it provides the wearer with a cooling effect and reduces the risk of heat-stress when working in hot conditions. Items made using this technology can be reused through multiple wetting and drying cycles.

KoolSorb

KoolSorb fabric is a patent-pending KoolSAF technology. It can be converted into a wide range of garments which are worn next to the skin under heavy clothing. The fabric stimulates the dissipation of heat and moisture through the rapid absorption and containment of body sweat.

The material in touch with the skin remains relatively dry and conducts heat away from the hot areas of the body. This results in a cooling effect of up to 6°C for the wearer – directly reducing the risk of heat-stress. Garments made using this technology can be laundered multiple times.
