Outlast Introduces Matrix Infusion Coating

Boulder, CO - Outlast Technologies, the pioneer in phase change technology, announces the introduction of Matrix Infusion Coating (MIC), adding strength to its line of temperature regulation capabilities.

Outlast Matrix Infusion Coating (MIC) is an application process whereby an advanced formulation of Outlast mPCMs are finely printed onto flat fabric. This process provides a cost effective way to add the benefits of temperature regulation to fabrics already in a company's product line. Outlast MIC is perfect for the active, casual, and sportwear markets that use compression and polyester fabrics. However, MIC can be used on virtually any fabric, including cotton or cellulosic-based fabrics.

"Matrix Infusion Coating allows us to apply Outlast technology to virtually any fabric, including polyester," said Greg Roda, Outlast Technologies President and CEO. "This process provides another avenue for our partners to advance their products lines and offer another benefit to their customers."

Mark Hartmann, Technical Director for Outlast adds, "It is the perfect application for activewear. It gives the temperature regulation benefits of Outlast technology and the wicking capabilities of polyester. It is like having a backup system for your active needs."

How Outlast Technology Works
Outlast technology responds to changes in your body temperature. Unlike traditional fabric and insulation that trap heat, products with patented Outlast Thermocules actually absorb your excess body heat when you become too warm, and release it back when you need it. The result: reduced overheating, sweating and chilling so you are not too hot, not too cold but just right.
