Extra cooling technology patent for Coolcore

23/10/2015
The makers of fabric cooling technology Coolcore have been granted a patent for "Method of Cooling an Object with a Fabric”.

The patent covers activation that includes wetting the item, wringing out excess liquid and snapping or waving the fabric to activate the moisture control through the fabric.
The invention is for a fabric that becomes cool when activated by liquid and remains cool for an extended period of time thereafter.

"As the innovator of chemical-free cooling fabrics, our intellectual property and the ongoing commitment to innovation continues to reinforce our position in the market today," said Coolcore CEO Kevin McCarthy. "Imitators should note that we will vigilantly protect our intellectual property in the marketplace."

Coolcore also owns a patent for its cooling material innovation, covering the manufacturing of any chemical-free cooling fabric that transfers moisture away from the skin, while regulating the movement and evaporation of that moisture throughout the fabric.

In July, it signed a partnership with Concept III and the technology has been recognised by the Hohenstein Institute in Germany.

Its technology has been used in towels and hats.
