i2Cool

Embedded Cooling Technology

What is i2Cool?

The latest innovation in cooling for textiles. Unlike conventional cooling technologies that rely on topical treatments or post-production applications, i2Cool leverages its innovative technology that is embedded directly during the masterbatch stage. When extruded into yarn, i2Cool provides reliable performance that lasts the life of the garment. Even after repeated use and home launderings, there is still exceptional and reliable performance. The fabric also effectively dissipates body heat, achieving a dual effect of “external heat isolation + internal heat dissipation.”

The cooling performance of fabric’s made from i2Cool are nearly three times above average industry requirements for Qmax performance. This technology also provides exceptional UV Protection, Odor Control, and Moisture Management.

How does it work?

i2Cool’s patented cooling technology is utilized during the masterbatch production process, which is then extruded and made into yarn. Through being an embedded technology, i2Cool delivers long-lasting and reliable performance. Unlike finishing treatments that degrade with washing, i2Cool is a masterbatch additive that permanently integrates these functional features into the yarn, ensuring durability and consistent performance. Allowing for wearers to keep cool, feel dry, and stay fresh without ever compromising on the fabric’s comfort, breathability, or mechanical properties.

Product Sheet

Embedded Technology

i2Cool represents a breakthrough in textile innovation, embedding performance directly into the yarn itself. Unlike topical treatments that degrade over time, i2Cool is integrated into the masterbatch to ensure durable and reliable performance throughout the life of the garment. This deep integration allows manufacturers and brands to deliver textiles that consistently perform, even after repeated washing and extended use.

The technology combines multiple functions into a single yarn: advanced cooling, UV protection, and odor control. By improving heat emissivity and enhancing breathability, i2Cool yarn keeps fabrics cooler and more comfortable in warm conditions. At the same time, it shields against harmful UV rays and helps reduce odor build-up, creating textiles with multifunctionality that further sets i2Cool apart as a truly advanced and versatile innovation that demonstrates next-generation performance.

Beyond performance, i2Cool is designed with sustainability and efficiency in mind. Its embedded functionality reduces the need for chemical after-treatments, lowering resource use during textile finishing while maintaining long-lasting results. By merging durability, performance, and environmental responsibility, i2Cool exemplifies how advanced material science can shape the future of textiles through delivering innovations that meet consumer expectations for comfort, protection, and sustainability.
