By integrating the proven Outlast temperature regulation system, this value, which determines the cool feel of a fabric, can be increased by up to 60%. This leads to significantly improved wearer comfort and a more pleasant feeling on the skin. The effusivity value is a meaningful thermal parameter that indicates how well a material exchanges heat with its immediate surroundings. A higher effusivity value means that a fabric feels cooler – a decisive factor for the consumer's perception of comfort. This key figure is therefore particularly valuable for textile manufacturers who want to increase the sensory appeal of their products.

Outlast relies on precise performance measurement

Depending on the process, Outlast temperature regulation can increase the effusivity value by 20 to 60%. Integrating the technology using an immersion bath increases the value by 20 to 30%, while classic temperature-regulating Outlast materials achieve an increase of up to 60%. This shows that Outlast technology not only contributes to temperature regulation, but also significantly improves the cool feel of fabrics – a decisive advantage that can have a positive influence on purchasing behaviour. Outlast focuses on precise performance measurement and has invested in state-of-the-art measurement technologies. This enables the company to determine the effusivity value with high accuracy and now offer its partners the opportunity to measure the cooling properties of their products with this advanced test equipment. The measurements comply with the ASTM D7984 standard and not only support product development, but also serve as a valuable marketing tool. Brands can back up their claims about the cooling properties of their products with scientifically sound data. With Outlast temperature regulation, brand partners benefit from two decisive advantages: Firstly, the textiles provide a pleasantly fresh feel with a cool touch, and secondly, they create a balanced microclimate that reduces perspiration and increases general comfort.
