COMFORMER^®, a resin heat storage material for textile use, is adopted カジノ シークレット 入金 batting of high-functional bedding

Oct. 22, 2020

カジノ シークレット 入金mical proudly inform that COMFORMER^®, a polymer type phase change material (PCM), has been adopted カジノ シークレット 入金 batting of a high-functional futon^*1 produced by the leading futon manufacturer. Batting is material used for lining and insulation. カジノ シークレット 入金 future, we intend to expand its applications in various textile products, such as clothing and carpets.

COMFORMER^® is a resign heat storage material for textiles, designed for absorbing/releasing heat at a specific temperature range of 20-50°C, using a phase change mechanism^*2. As conventional low molecular weight PCMs, such as paraffin wax, are liquefied along with the phase change that occurs during heat storage, it is necessary to encapsulate PCMs to prevent leakage, attach them to the fiber surface, or knead them into the fibers. By contrast, COMFORMER^® can be used as is カジノ シークレット 入金 form of fiber because it maintains a solid state カジノ シークレット 入金 temperature range to store heat. In addition, the product has a resin design with increased molding stability to create elongated fibers. Thus, it can be mass-produced using the highly productive melt spinning method^*3, as is the case for general synthetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester. The use of COMFORMER^® —processed into fibers by taking advantage of these characteristics —as the batting of the futon, can maintaカジノ シークレット 入金 air layer between the futon and the human body at a comfortable temperature regardless of temperature changes カジノ シークレット 入金 surrounding environment. COMFORMER^® has now been adopted for use in bedding because it was highly regarded as an important material that contributes to the design of synthetic fiber batting, which can replace down.

In recent years, heightened needs for quality of life improvements have prompted the development of functional fibers that provide greater comfort. COMFORMER^® can deliver synergistic effects in combined use with such functional fibers. For example, hygroscopic exothermic fiber used in winter underwear is a material to absorb sweat from the human body and generate heat. COMFORMER^® can store such heat to prolong the time it keeps the body warm. If it is combined with contact cool sensory fiber for summer, COMFORMER^® is expected to provide a higher cooling sensation. For ethical consumption that is friendly to humans, society and the environment, it is expected that COMFORMER^® will be used as an alternative material to down. In light of the wide range of textile products, such as carpets and curtains, in addition to bedding and clothing, we are currently developing applications of COMFORMER^® with multiple companies by making the best use of its comfort and energy-saving heat storage performance.

カジノ シークレット 入金mical will continue to cultivate potential needs of the market, develop innovative products and technologies that can lead to new applications beyond the framework of existing businesses, and provide solutions that can contribute to a sustainable society.
