HeiQ XReflex - Radiant Barrier Technology
HeiQ XReflex(TM) is an innovative radiant barrier technology that reflects heat back to the body maintaining the same level of warmth with as little as half the insulation material. It’s an ultra-thin heat reflective surface added to one side of the fabric by high-tech vapor deposition which reduces insulation bulk by up to 50%, making it the perfect solution for a wide range of applications. HeiQ XReflex is an advanced system comprised of recycled materials that are recyclable and, because it needs less insulation material, it’s a more sustainable option.

HeiQ Smart Temp - Intelligent Thermoregulation
HeiQ Smart Temp is an innovative thermoregulation technology that provides fabrics with the ability to dynamically respond to body heat. This technology provides optimal cooling and comfortable dryness thanks to a patent pending hydro functional polymer. The cooling function is activated when you are hot and sweaty and deactivated once cooling is complete, ensuring optimal comfort and performance. It is ideally designed for clothing that are within reach of body heat and skin’s moisture. Especially suitable for next-to-skin apparel, sportswear, activewear, intimates and hosiery, but also for the linings of winter garments and home textiles such as sheets, bedding accessories and mattress ticking.

HeiQ Mint - Botanical Odor Control
The HeiQ Mint technology is a plant-based deodorizer that controls malodor development on textiles by using a blend of essential mint oils and naturally-derived deodorizing ingredients providing a long-lasting odor control capability that keeps textiles smelling fresh all day long. This works on all near-to-skin textile surfaces such as apparel (sports, outdoor, casual, business and workwear), intimates, socks, and home textiles (mattress, pillow, duvet, protector, bed sheets). Durable freshness with a minimal environmental footprint thanks to its plant-based and naturally-derived components.
