Setting a new standard in cooling yarn technology.
The KinetiCool® Advantage
KinetiCool® is a cutting-edge yarn technology engineered to manage body temperature and improve comfort through advanced thermal regulation. Its embedded particles work by reflecting and conducting heat efficiently, facilitating superior moisture evaporation and keeping skin cool and dry.
KinetiCool® is a new innovative take on cooling textiles. Optimizing the shape, elemental content levels and various other factors of the fiber, we can help you beat the heat for long lasting cooling comfort.
HOW IT WORKS
KinetiCool® utilizes groundbreaking embedded particle technology to create yarns that actively manage heat and moisture. This innovation ensures prolonged cooling, superior comfort, and optimal skin health across a variety of applications.
Heat Reflection & Conduction
Permanently embedded particles in the yarn reflect and conduct heat away from the body. This process reduces the buildup of heat on the skin and accelerates its dissipation.
Amplified Moisture Evaporation
The KinetiCool® yarn enhances the skin’s natural evaporation process, rapidly transferring moisture to the surface for quicker drying and sustained comfort.
Microclimate Regulation
By combining heat management and moisture control, KinetiCool® maintains a cooler, drier microclimate next to the skin, preventing rashes and irritation even in extreme conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Scientific Validation
From concept to reality, KinetiCool® is validated through cutting-edge scientific methods to deliver unparalleled cooling results.
We tested KinetiCool® against leading industry cooling technologies using a QMAX test and thermal effusivity test, with results that demonstrate how KinetiCool® drastically outperforms other cooling technologies.

Effusivity Tests
Thermal effusivity measures how quickly a material can absorb and release heat when in contact with the skin.
Fabrics with higher thermal effusivity values feel cooler and transfer heat away more efficiently, contributing to a more comfortable and dry experience.
Testing Procedure
Heat is applied to the fabric, and the speed at which the material absorbs and conducts the heat is measured.
Results reflect the material’s ability to manage heat flow, an essential property for cooling textiles.
Performance
Highlights
In the textile industry, thermal effusivity values for cooling fabrics average around 200 Ws½/m²K, depending on the material composition and intended application.
Fabrics with values closer to or exceeding 300 Ws½/m²K are considered high-performance and are typically used in specialized applications such as athletic wear, technical garments, or premium bedding.
Better Cooling
KinetiCool® leads the Industry, with a thermal effusivity value of 350 Ws½/m²K.
Based on the thermal effusivity tests, KinetiCool® is seen to significantly outperform conventional fabrics, ensuring superior heat management and cooling.

QMAX Tests
QMAX tests measure transient heat transfer upon fabric-to-skin contact, and evaluates a fabrics ability to manage heat, which is crucial in high-temperature or body-heat exposure scenarios.
Higher Q-MAX values signify superior cooling performance.
Testing Procedure
-
A heated plate, warmer than the fabric, is pressed against the material to mimic skin contact.
-
The Q-MAX value, measured in watts per square centimeter (W/cm²), quantifies the fabric’s ability to transfer heat efficiently.
Testing Conditions
-
Temperature: 20 ± 2ºC
-
Relative Humidity: 65 ± 4% RH
-
Test Surfaces: Face Side and Back Side
-
ΔT (Temperature Difference): 20ºC
Performance Highlights
The industry standard for cooling fabrics typically falls in the range of 0.15 to 0.25 W/cm² in Q-MAX tests, depending on the type of material and its intended use.
Fabrics achieving values above 0.25 W/cm² are generally considered high-performance cooling materials.
