Coolcore announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) issued the company a patent (U.S. Patent No. 8,440,119) for its
cooling fabric innovation. The patent covers 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.
“This milestone achievement comes after four long years that
culminated with testing and validation from the world-renowned
Hohenstein Institute,” said Coolcore Chief Technology Officer and
Founder Dennis Ackroyd. “With our relentless testing and solid results,
Coolcore will set the worldwide standard in performance fabric cooling.”
Coolcore’s
material is the only innovation that delivers three distinct functions —
wicking, moisture circulation and regulated evaporation — to reduce the
fabric’s surface temperature up to 30 percent. In addition to the
cooling benefits, the material is significantly drier due to its
non-cling, non-saturated nature, and because it is chemical-free, the
cooling benefit never washes out.
Additionally, Coolcore is the
first U.S. company to obtain the Hohenstein Quality Label "Innovative
Technology" for the textile sector. This testing utilized Hohenstein’s
newly developed cooling test, the “WATson”, that has now been submitted
to the universal standard testing authorities as the first test that
measures a fabric’s ability to not only manage moisture, but also
measure the cooling power of a fabric.
“Coolcore has invented an
entirely new category of chemical-free cooling fabrics and the
opportunities for our material innovation are virtually unlimited,”
commented Justin Cupps, president of Coolcore. “Having a chemical-free
way to keep people cooler and drier longer, and, ultimately, more
comfortable, represents the next generation of fabric innovation.”
Coolcore’s
distribution channels include exclusive partnerships with brands such
as MISSION Athletecare, whose EnduraCool product line is powered by
Coolcore’s material innovation; the launch of Dr. Cool
Recovery-On-The-Go™ wraps this fall, and the debut of Coolcore
performance cooling apparel for Spring 2014.
