Products & key benefits

PCM microcapsules

Thermal function at fibre scale

The core–shell structure confines PCM and reduces migration, allowing thermal-buffering material to be distributed within fibres, finishes or foam.

Core, shell, particle size and loading selected around the comfort-temperature range.

Product details

Dispersion and processing adaptation

Balance useful loading and feel

Particle size, dispersion and loading are developed together to balance latent capacity, softness and the processing needs of each substrate.

Sample development for spinning, finishing, foaming and composite processes.

Product details

Finished-product thermal and durability validation

Performance that survives use

Compare latent-heat retention, core migration and feel before and after processing and washing to define repeatable finished-product performance.

Thermal cycling, washing and post-processing assessment for the intended use.

Product details

MICROENCAPSULATION

How material strengths become application value.

Focus on processing, dispersion and performance after use to build thermal function into flexible substrates.

01 / Microencapsulation for substrate integration

Distribute the PCM core within fibres, finishes or foam.

MOF-catalyzed transient encapsulation forms a core–shell structure; particle size and loading are adapted to fibres, coatings, foams and elastomers.

Data and validation basisMaterial parameters: particle distribution, core loading and dispersion

02 / High enthalpy: store heat within limited space

Obtain measurable contact-temperature buffering at the finished-product loading.

Latent heat stores energy within the selected transition range; usable capacity follows the effective PCM content of the finished product.

Data and validation basisFinished-product validation: enthalpy per mass/area and temperature response

03 / Encapsulation reliability for real use

Preserve encapsulation and substrate compatibility after spinning, coating or foaming.

Assess shell integrity, core retention and interface compatibility, then recheck after the actual process or operating cycle.

Data and validation basisProcess validation: shell integrity, core migration and feel

04 / Microcapsule durability: retain shell integrity and latent heat

Define latent-heat retention after repeated use and washing.

The core–shell structure confines PCM. Validate shell integrity, core retention and latent performance after thermal cycling and washing of the finished product.

Data and validation basisDurability: agreed wash count, thermal cycles and retained enthalpy

Application solutions

Textiles & fabrics
  1. Textile or composite substrate
  2. PCM functional layer
  3. Capsule shell and phase change core

Product placement

Microencapsulated PCM in finishes, composite fiber layers or foam substrates.

  1. 01

    Suitable temperatures prepare the phase change core to absorb heat.

  2. 02

    Within its working range, the core absorbs some heat and provides temporary temperature buffering.

  3. 03

    Cooling releases stored heat. Performance must be validated against loading, substrate and test method.

Technical resources & validation

Performance and available capacity depend on the product, operating conditions and validation.

From capsule to cloth.
02 / How it's built

From capsule to cloth.

— 01

Microcapsule

A PCM core sealed in a robust shell down to 200 nm. It melts and re-freezes at the comfort point without ever leaking into the fibre.

— 02

Yarn

Capsules are spun into the fibre or bonded as a finish — distributing capacity through the whole cloth, not just on the surface.

— 03

Fabric

Woven or knitted into bedding, apparel, and throws — soft hand-feel, machine-washable, with thermal buffering built into the cloth itself.

Where the fabric goes.
03 / Product range

Where the fabric goes.

— Bedding

Cool-touch bedding

Quilts, pillow covers, and mattress toppers that pull the warm peak off the body at sleep onset — for a cooler, steadier night without dropping the room temperature.

Quilt · pillow · topper
— Throw

PanSure® climate throw

The PCM control throw — a soft blanket with embedded latent capacity that holds a comfortable contact temperature on the sofa or in bed.

Blanket · finished good
— OEM material

Cooling finish & apparel fabric

PCM yarn and coated finishes supplied to apparel and home-textile makers — for shirts, linings, and activewear that smooth the skin microclimate.

How it works
Home textiles & fabrics · Application principle
  1. Textile or composite substrate
  2. PCM functional layer
  3. Capsule shell and phase change core

Suitable temperatures prepare the phase change core to absorb heat.

Structures and cycles illustrate the principle. Selection, capacity and performance depend on operating conditions and validation.
