Apparel & Textiles
Adaptive comfort, woven into the fabric.
Microtek pioneered the use of phase change material in textiles — letting garments respond intelligently to body and ambient temperature.
The challenge
Comfort that moves with the wearer.
People aren't static — they warm up during exertion, cool down at rest, and move between climates. Traditional insulation can only do one thing well at a time.
Microencapsulated PCM applied to fibers, fabrics, or finished garments gives apparel a dynamic comfort range — absorbing excess body heat as it builds, releasing it back as the wearer cools.
Microtek's advantage
Why PCM works here.
- Reduces sweat and clamminess during activity
- Maintains warmth as the wearer cools down
- Compatible with knits, wovens, nonwovens, and foams
- Survives commercial laundering
- Customizable to base layers, outerwear, and bedding alike
