Outlast to expand research and development activity
02/12/2011
Research activities concentrate on advancing Outlast temperature-regulating technology through the development of new
formulations and enhancements of existing applications. Outlast also uses it to test all fabrics under development from licensees, including samples from production runs, to ensure that each product has enough heat storage capacity to carry the Outlast brand.
“The expansion of our lab allows for increased capabilities to test and certify new fibres, yarns and textile applications manufactured by our licensees,” said Mark Hartmann, technical director of Outlast Technologies North America. “It’s a great indication of the partnerships we’ve forged to bring more products to market with Outlast technology and increase consumer awareness on the benefits of proactive, temperature-regulating solutions.”
