Devan will launch its new technologies for the cooling fabrics for the home textiles market at the upcoming Heimtextil Frankfurt 2022 exhibition.
The first innovation Devan is showing is a range of bio-based and biodegradable microcapsules. With increased sustainability and circularity requirements in Europe and beyond, Devan says it is pushing the limits further of its encapsulation methods, also in terms of wash durability. The capsules are biodegradable and hence no harm for risk of microplastics. The new R-Vital NTL range includes evergreen Aloe Vera, waste-material based avocado seed oil (very high hydration abilities) and Vitamin E.
Devan, as part of the Pulcra Chemicals Group, will also co-launch the new Pulcra TEC-SU, a new biobased C0 DWR. This hydrophobic agent has a bio-content above 60 per cent and contains no APEO or formaldehyde. It keeps performing very well after multiple washings.
The Devan bio-based thermoregulation ranges, such as Tones of Cool Bio, have been designed to have a positive effect on carbon footprint. Devan is now expanding this cooling range with a specific (bio)foam solution that complies with the EU GreenDeal and circularity / recycling requirements. The company’s thermoregulation solutions can also save energy and water during application: low curing solutions are available next to cooling products and can be applied using less water.
