AGU’s HeiQ Smart Temp cycling kits at three Grand Tours

Team Jumbo-Visma’s triumphant victories in Europe’s three Grand Tours of cycling, including the recent Vuelta a España, were supported by AGU’s cycling kits that are powered by the HeiQ Smart Temp thermoregulation technology.

HeiQ celebrates its collaboration with AGU, a high-performance sports gear manufacturer. Together, the companies integrated HeiQ Smart Temp technology into the jerseys of Jumbo-Visma, the triumphant team whose outstanding cyclists Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic, and Sepp Kuss won Europe’s three Grand Tours; the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, and Vuelta a España.

HeiQ Smart Temp, an innovative thermoregulation solution, dynamically responds to body heat and moisture, providing cyclists with a cooling effect when they need it most. This technology enhances comfort and performance, making it ideal for next-to-skin apparel, sportswear, and activewear.

AGU's product developers harnessed the power of HeiQ Smart Temp to create jerseys with cooling properties. The Jumbo-Visma team's lightest-weight jersey, weighing 25% less than their regular aero shirt, keeps athletes up to 2.5°C cooler than other performance fabrics.

Die Unternehmen planen Innovationen für Verbrauchermarken in den Marktsegmenten Stretch, Thermoregulation, Frische und Nachhaltigkeit.

Die erste Innovationsplattform kommt noch in diesem Sommer auf den Markt. Sie soll den Verbrauchern eine neue Dimension von Vertrauen und Komfort bieten, indem HeiQ Frische- und antivirale Vorteile mit der Qualität und den Vorzügen von Stretch-Stoffen verbindet, die nach dem neuen Markenstandard der LYCRA® freshFX® Technologie zertifiziert sind. Die Vorbereitungen für diese Innovation laufen derzeit mit einem anfänglichen Fokus auf lokale Wertschöpfungsketten in China für den chinesischen Verbraucher. Die Markteinführung ist für die Intertextile-Messe in Shanghai Ende August vorgesehen. Der Fokus dieser Kooperationen wird darauf liegen, relevante Verbraucherbedürfnisse nach Qualität, Langlebigkeit und nachhaltiger Kleidung zu erfüllen. Stoffmuster und Prototypen werden im Spätsommer für die kommerzielle Order zur Verfügung stehen.

„Unser Ziel bei HeiQ ist es, Marken und Produzenten in der Textilindustrie in die Lage zu versetzen, mehr Komfort, Performance und Nachhaltigkeit in Textilprodukte zu bringen und gleichzeitig die Markenbekanntheit bei den Verbrauchern zu erhöhen, die am meisten von diesen Innovationen profitieren werden", sagt Carlo Centonze, Mitbegründer und CEO der HeiQ Gruppe.

„Die Kollaboration basiert auf einem starken Fundament gemeinsamer Werte und Philosophien, die unsere beiden Unternehmen teilen", so Julien Born, CEO The LYCRA Company. „Wir freuen uns darauf, die natürlichen Synergien zwischen uns zu nutzen und gemeinsam neue Lösungen für die Bekleidungsindustrie zu finden."

HeiQ and Standard Fibers to announce next generation bio-based “starts cool, stays cool” fabric technology at Heimtextil

Swiss textile innovator HeiQ adds bio-based thermofunctional polymer products to their HeiQ Smart Temp family for a full range of intelligent thermoregulation triggered by body heat. The newly introduced products add dual-action cooling at contact to the already successful dynamic evaporative cooling technology.

Launched in 2011, HeiQ Smart Temp was a pioneer in intelligent thermoregulation technology for textiles. Continuous refinements of this product range have allowed HeiQ to be the go-to solution provider as its technologies offer not only industry-leading dynamic evaporative cooling performance, but also ease of application and a friendly price point for brand partners. The latest breakthrough with cool touch technology allows consumers to touch, feel and understand the technology at point-of-sale, and ensures thermal comfort at all times by providing the benefits of cool at contact and continuous evaporative cooling. It is currently optimized for use on home textile products such as mattress ticking and bed linens. All HeiQ Smart Temp products are Oeko-Tex® Class 1-4 conform, bluesign® and USDA BioPreferred pending.

As the demand for thermo-functional polymer applications continues to grow, HeiQ created HeiQ Iberia to focus on this product development. There are three new products (two more in the pipeline) in the range that all provide instant cooling from a bio-based thermo-functional polymer, and each product is optimized to perform on specific items such as mattress ticking or bedding accessories. By adding a new category of products to the range, HeiQ now has a broad range of intelligent thermoregulation solutions for home textile market. HeiQ is launching these products for home textiles with their partner Standard Fiber at Heimtextil Frankfurt (7-10 January 2020).

“We have more and more business developing around temperature-regulating technologies”, says Sandy Gray, CEO at Standard Fiber LLC. “To support our mission of continuously introducing new technologies and innovations to our customers, we are excited to work with HeiQ and present HeiQ Cool Touch technologies to our customers to elevate and differentiate their products in the market”.

Neue Technologie in der HeiQ Fresh-Serie verwandelt Vorhänge in Luftreiniger

Der Schweizer Textilinnovator HeiQ hat dem Luftmanagement eine neue Dimension in der HeiQ Fresh-Produktlinie gegeben – Luftreinigungsfunktionalität, die in Vorhängen von IKEA zur Reduzierung von Innenraumluftschadstoffen wie den flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (VOCs) Acetaldehyd, Formaldehyd und Stickoxid (NO) eingesetzt wird.

Kein Stromanschluss, kein zusätzlicher Platzbedarf, der Gunrid-Vorhang von IKEA sieht aus wie ein gewöhnlicher Vorhang, erfüllt aber eine neuartige Funktion – er reinigt die Raumluft, dank der neuesten Technologie der HeiQ Fresh-Serie, HeiQ Fresh AIR, mit der er ausgestattet ist. Gunrid-Gardinen werden 2020 in den IKEA-Geschäften erhältlich sein.

Gunrid-Gardinen werden 2020 in den IKEA-Geschäften erhältlich sein.

Nach Angaben der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) sind über 80% der Stadtbewohner einer hohen Luftverschmutzung ausgesetzt1. Die Konzentration von VOCs in Innenräumen ist im Allgemeinen sogar höher als im Freien2. Während viele VOCs nicht als gesundheitsschädlich eingestuft werden, wie z.B. Parfüms und Duftstoffe, werden andere wie Acetaldehyd, Formaldehyd, Stickoxide (NO) und d-Limonene und andere halbflüchtige polyzyklische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe von der WHO als Verantwortliche erheblicher negativer Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit angesehen. Diese VOCs stammen sowohl aus Quellen im Freien als auch aus Quellen im Innenbereich wie Möbel, Farben, Haushaltsreinigungsmittel, Sprays oder Kochaktivitäten, wie in der von IKEA durchgeführten Reinlufterhebung 2018 beschrieben wurde. HeiQ hat eine innovative Textilbehandlung entwickelt, die Heimtextilien wie Vorhänge als Medium zur Reinigung der Raumluft verwendet, um das Leben der Menschen zu verbessern.

HeiQ provides sustainable dyeing and finishing solutions

Swiss textile innovator HeiQ partners with Twinery to significantly reduce waste in their apparel production supply chain.

Apparel manufacturing is the second largest polluting industry in the world. While there are many solutions to this problem, Bodyline has taken the lead to focus on developing a low impact supply chain by reducing energy and waste across the entire value chain and develop No Waste Apparel – Truecycled.

Two steps in this supply chain lifecycle include improving the dyeing and finishing stages. To improve the dyeing stage by using less water and energy and save CO2 during the polyester dyeing process, Truecycled has implemented HeiQ Clean Tech for more efficient and ecological processing of textiles.

“Aiming to improve the everyday products of textiles by making them more functional, comfortable and sustainable, HeiQ is proud to partner with Bodyline on their Truecycled project”, says Carlo Centonze, Chief Executive Officer at HeiQ.
