HeiQ Mint: No more smelly socks or shirts

HeiQ takes advantage of its presence at ISPO Munich 2022, 28th-30th of November, to launch HeiQ Mint, the new proprietary odor control technology. It is plant-based and designed to make textiles smell fresh even if we use them repeatedly, avoiding the need for frequent washes, thus enabling to save water and energy.

HeiQ Fresh MNT-01, under the HeiQ Mint product family, jointly developed with Patagonia, addresses body odors on textiles and regenerates at every wash, with superior efficiency and durability that meets most end-use performance requirements, while keeping all the fabric properties such as breathability, hand feel, or wicking. This textile technology is OEKO-TEX® suited, bluesign approved, and ZDHC compliant, with a USDA bio-preferred certification in progress.

This textile technology is OEKO-TEX® suited, bluesign approved, and ZDHC compliant, with a USDA bio-preferred certification in progress.

The product development tests were highly demanding, with HeiQ Mint standing out in comparison to the other two tested solutions. According to Laura Hoch, Patagonia’s Materials Innovation Engineer, “out of all the anti-odor technologies we tested, HeiQ Mint provided the highest odor control performance, with the added benefit of being plant-based. This innovation enables Patagonia to deliver our customers high-performing products made with the best available chemistry.”

Another advantage of HeiQ Mint is the ability to be applied and marketed worldwide, without the need for biocidal declaration on product labels, since it is based on a blend of essential mint oils and naturally derived deodorizing ingredients. HeiQ Mint is just Fresh by Nature.

It is ideal for next-to-skin products like sports apparel, underwear, linings, casual and business wear but also home textiles such as bed linen, pillow fabrics, or mattress textiles, both on cellulosic and synthetic fibers.

HeiQ/Nylstar: Launch of HeiQ Viroblock Permanent on Meryl® Skinlife Force

A decade long collaboration between Swiss textile innovator HeiQ and Spanish premium synthetic fiber manufacturer Nylstar, has resulted in the innovation of a revolutionary new premium antiviral and antimicrobial textile with zero pollution sustainable benefits, Meryl® Skinlife Force powered by HeiQ Viroblock Permanent, winner of ISPO Textrends Award for the Best Product.

A decade long collaboration between Swiss textile innovator HeiQ and Spanish premium synthetic fiber manufacturer Nylstar, has resulted in the innovation of a revolutionary new premium antiviral and antimicrobial textile with zero pollution sustainable benefits, Meryl® Skinlife Force powered by HeiQ Viroblock Permanent, winner of ISPO Textrends Award for the Best Product.

The new technology is used exclusively on Meryl® Skinlife Force, an hi-tech fabric that combines the silver-ion active principle antimicrobial properties developed by HeiQ and Nylstar’s hydrogen-based technology which allows the creation of yarns with a very strong molecular cohesion structure. The Hydrogen molecular structure makes Meryl® Skinlife Force a high-performance fabric in terms of moisture management and breathability, offering a natural stretch without elastane as well as excellent durability thanks to its continuous and high tenacity filaments. The robust durability of HeiQ Viroblock Permanent is achieved thanks to the silver particles being added directly into the raw polymer of the yarn thereby keeping these properties active for the lifetime of garments. Fabric samples successfully demonstrated a very strong antimicrobial efficacy with over 99.99% reduction of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria after 100 washes. Antiviral test is underway.

Both HeiQ and Nylstar will be “exhibiting” at ISPO Munich Online from February 1st to 5th. Nylstar won the Textrends 2021 Award for the Best Product in the Base Layer Category.

Celliant Viscose is a finalist in Best Products by ISPO and will be showcased in the Fibers & Insulations Category for ISPO Textrends, where realistic views and 3-D simulations will be available for each material.

The introduction of nature-based Celliant Viscose will be the first in-fiber infrared sustainable solution on the market and meets a consumer demand for more environmentally friendly textiles. An alternative to synthetic fibers and extremely versatile, Celliant Viscose blends beautifully with cotton, micromodal, lyocell, wool varieties including cashmere. It also has many applications across industries as it is ideal for performance wear, luxury loungewear, casual wear and bedding.

An alternative to synthetic fibers and extremely versatile, Celliant Viscose blends beautifully with cotton, micromodal, lyocell, wool varieties including cashmere. It also has many applications across industries as it is ideal for performance wear, luxury loungewear, casual wear and bedding.

Celliant Viscose features natural, ethically sourced minerals embedded into plant-based fibers to create infrared products that capture and convert body heat into infrared, increasing local circulation and improved cellular oxygenation. This results in stronger performance, faster recovery and better sleep.

Celliant Viscose provides all the benefits of being a viscose fiber — lightweight, soft, highly breathable, excellent moisture management — as well as fiber enhancements from Celliant infrared technology. Celliant’s proprietary blend of natural minerals allows textiles to capture and convert body heat into full-spectrum infrared energy, resulting in stronger performance, faster recovery and better sleep. In addition, Celliant is durable and will not wash out, lasting the useful life of the product it powers.

An Affordable, Long-lasting Solution with Diverse Applications
As opposed to other IR viscose products which are coatings based, Celliant Viscose’s in-fiber solution increases wearability and longevity with a soft feel, durability from washing and longer life. The combination of Kelheim’s distinctive technology and the Celliant additives creates this unique fiber that provides full functionality without the need for any additional processing step — a new standard in the field of sustainable IR viscose fibers. This single processing also makes Celliant Viscose more cost-effective and time-efficient than coatings.

In addition, Kelheim’s flexible technology allows targeted interventions in the viscose fiber process. By modifying the fiber’s dimensions or cross sections or by incorporating additives into the fiber matrix, Kelheim can precisely define the fiber’s properties according to the specific needs of the end product.

Highly Sustainable
Celliant Viscose is a plant and mineral-based solution for brands seeking an alternative to synthetic fibers. It contains natural raw materials that are from the earth and can return safely to the earth.

Nature-based Celliant Viscose is certified by FSC® or PEFC™, which guarantees the origin in sustainably managed plantations, and is part of the CanopyStyle initiative to protect ancient and endangered forests. The production of Celliant Viscose takes place exclusively at the Kelheim facilities in Germany, complying with the country’s strict environmental laws and guaranteeing an overall eco-friendly product.

Backed by Science
Celliant is rigorously tested by a Science Advisory Board composed of experts in the fields of physics, biology, chemistry and medicine. The Science Advisory Board has overseen 10 clinical, technical and physical trials, and seven published studies that demonstrate Celliant’s effectiveness and the benefits of infrared energy.

Neben der Unterstützung bei allen Anreiseformalitäten bringt die Initiative Ansprechpartner von Marken, Händlern und Distributionen zusammen, zeigt Best-Practises-Shops auf einer Retail-Tour durch die bayerische Landeshauptstadt und sorgt mit einem Abendprogramm für eine zusätzliche Netzwerk-Plattform. Darüber hinaus dient eine jeweils länderspezifische Online-Plattform zur einfacheren Terminvereinbarung und zum Networking im Vorfeld der Messe. Das Händlerprogramm hat sich für den französischen Fachhandel bereits bewährt. 2018 kamen mehr als 600 Teilnehmer über den "Club ISPO France" nach München.

Markus Hefter, Projektleitgruppenleiter der ISPO Munich: „Die Initiative ist sowohl für Aussteller als auch Händler ein Gewinn. Während Marken und Hersteller die Präsenz des internationalen Fachhandels als wichtigste Besuchergruppe schätzen, erhalten teilnehmende Händler einen Zugang in Landesprache und können sich Dank der Organisation im Vorfeld optimal auf Ihren Messebesuch vorbereiten.“

Um zusätzlich den Charakter der ISPO Munich als Handelsplattform zu unterstreichen, wurde die Ticketstruktur für Sportfachhändler optimiert. Das online gebuchte Händlerticket kostet ab 2019 nur noch 19 Euro. Weitere Informationen zur Preisstruktur sind online zu finden. ISPO Munich macht die Zukunft des Sports Business erlebbar Die ISPO Munich bietet neben einen Ausblick auf Innovationen und Trends alljährlich den Blick über den Tellerrand. Da auch im Sports Business die Digitalisierung immer bedeutender wird, widmet sich ISPO verstärkt digitalen Trends, auch für den Retail-Bereich. Mit der ISPO Digitize wurde eine Plattform geschaffen, auf der sich unter anderem Sportfachhändler von digitalen Vorreitern inspirieren lassen können und digitale Retail-Technologien zum Anfassen präsentiert bekommen. Während der ISPO Munich findet die ISPO Digitize in Halle C6 statt.

Für Internationalität und Wissenstransfer sorgt zudem die ISPO Academy. Sie ist mit einem umfangreichen Konferenzprogramm auf der ISPO Munich vertreten und bietet ganzjährig Konferenzen, Seminare und online wie offline Trainingsprogramme für das Sports Business an. Zusätzlich greift die ISPO Academy auf lokalen Konferenzen etwa in Frankreich, Korea, Japan, Brasilien, Polen oder der Schweiz Themen auf, die einzelne Märkte bewegen.

Egal ob auf Events, Messen, Camps oder einer Roadshow – beim Thema Frauen im Sport kommt man an der Marketing- und Eventagentur fiedler concepts nicht vorbei. Gerade hat das Team um Sabrina Weiss und Monika Fiedler eine erfolgreiche ISPO Munich hinter sich gebracht, bei der sie schon zum zweiten Mal die Women’s Lounge bespielt haben.

Moderierte Talkrunden mit spannenden Themen rund um die weiblichen Bedürfnisse sowie interessante Diskussionsrunden mit Führungskräften und Sportlerinnen gehörten neben geführten Rundgängen über die Messe zum täglichen Programm dazu. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren ist Frauenpower an der Tagesordnung, seit nun mehr zwei Jahren arbeitet das Team mit Hochdruck an speziellen Ideen und Veranstaltungen für die weibliche Zielgruppe. Jedes Jahr wird ein neues Konzept für den Lifestyle-, Sport- sowie Businessbereich entworfen und umgesetzt. Sabrina Weiss erklärt begeistert: “Frauen sind als Zielgruppe sehr interessant und bieten enormes Wachstumspotential, da sie sich intensiv mit Produkten und Dienstleistungen beschäftigen und das Kaufverhalten stark vom positiven Erlebnis gelenkt wird. Hersteller von Sport- und Markenartikeln, aber auch Hotels und Tourismusregionen können hier noch einiges erreichen.“

Women’s Winter Camp für Freeriderinnnen und Skitourengeherinnen

Das erste Event in diesem Jahr ist das Women`s Winter Camp powered by Marmot. Es verwöhnt auch 2018 seine Teilnehmerinnen wieder mit einer Vielzahl an abenteuerlichen oder entspannenden Aktivitäten. Neben Freeriden, Skitourengehen und den dazu passenden Technikkursen wird auch gemeinsam entspannt. Vom 18. bis 21. März 2018 findet das Camp in Kirchberg inmitten der Kitzbühler Alpen statt.

München - Nach der erfolgreichen Premiere im vergangenen Herbst hat PrimaLoft seine Händler-
schulungstour in der DACH-Region zu Beginn der Wintersaison2017/18 weiter ausgebaut. In den
vergangenen Monaten wurde das Verkaufspersonal von mehr als 40 Händlern über die Ingredient
Brand PrimaLoft®, allgemeine Vorteile der synthetischen Isolationen, aktuelle Innovationen sowie
News in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit direkt vor Ort informiert. Auf der ISPO MUNICH 2018 bietet der
weltweit führende Anbieter von Komfortlösungen aus leistungsstarken Isolationsmaterialien,
Funktionstextilien und Garnen interessierten Händlern direkt am Messestand (Halle A2/304) die
Möglichkeit, sich bei speziellen Kurzschulungen fortzubilden.

Seit Mitte Oktober war ein erfahrenes Schulungsteam für PrimaLoft auf Tour durch Deutschland,
Österreich und die Schweiz und machte unter anderem bei Bächli, Bergzeit, Engelhorn Sports,
Globetrotter/Transa, Intersport, Karstadt Sports, Sport Bittl, Sport Conrad, Sporthaus Schuster,
SportScheck und Zalando halt. Die Inhalte wurden dabei so praxisnah wie möglich vermittelt. Die
Teilnehmer bekamen neben theoretischem Wissen über die PrimaLoft® Technologien auch zahlreihe
praktische Werkzeuge wie Materialproben sowie einfach verständliche Tools zur Veranschaulichung der
Isolationseigenschaften an die Hand. In diesem Jahr wurde zudem auf das Thema Nachhaltigkeit
eingegangen, was von Kundenseite immer häufiger zum Kaufkriterium wird. Begleitend erhielten die
Verkaufsprofis einen speziellen „PrimaLoft®-Handelsleitfaden“. Auf Grund des durchwegs positiven
Feedbacks von Seiten der Händler, ist bereits eine Ausweitung der Schulungstour in den kommenden
Jahren im deutschsprachigen Raum, aber auch in anderen europäische Kernmärkte geplant.

Händler haben zudem über das Online-Trainingsportal von sportsella die Möglichkeit, jederzeit ihr Wissen
rund um Isolationen, Funktionstextilien und Garne der Ingredient Brand aufzufrischen. Schließlich können
über das PrimaLoft® Marketingportal jederzeit hilfreiche Verkaufsunterstützungs- und POS-Tools bestellt
werden, wofür lediglich eine einmalige Registrierung nötig ist.

Jochen Lagemann, Managing Director PrimaLoft Europe & Asia: „Kompetentes Verkaufspersonal ist
für Händler ein wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor, um nutzerorientiert sowie bedarfsgerecht zu beraten und so den
Umsatz zu steigern. Regelmäßige Fortbildungen und praktische Tools zur Verkaufsförderung sind dabei
essentiell. Für uns als Ingredient Brand ist eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit dem Handel besonders wichtig,
denn PrimaLoft bringt kontinuierlich Innovationen auf den Markt. Außerdem unterstützen wir damit auch
den Absatz unserer Markenpartner.“

Auf der ISPO MUNICH 2018 bietet PrimaLoft interessierten Händlern die Möglichkeit, an täglich
stattfindenden „Kompakt-Schulungen“ direkt am Messestand in Halle A2 Stand 304 teilzunehmen. Diese
ca. 30minütigen Fortbildungen sind speziell auf die Anforderungen auf Messen angepasst und informieren
kompakt und anschaulich über die Innovationen der Marke. Anmeldungen und weitere Information gibt es
per Mail unter pit.lazarus@primaloft.com.
