Protection from heat
and UV rays

Intro coldblack In comparison to light colors, dark colors absorb more heat in direct sunlight. The heat absorption can be reduced to a minimum with coldblack®, the UVA- and UVB-protection textile finish from Schoeller Technologies. coldblack® reduces heat build-up and provides reliable protection from the sun’s rays. Consequently, the wear comfort of textiles can be noticeably improved.

Dark-colored textiles absorb both visible and invisible sunlight, meaning both heat and light. In all types of textiles, coldblack® reduces this absorption of thermal radiation. This function is partciularly effective in the case of darker colors. The result is a noticeably better heat management.

In addition, the technologies offer reliable protection from UV rays, which is particularly important for light-colored textiles. A UPF of 30 (minimum) is guaranteed for all colors and textiles, without the feel or look of the product being affected. As a result, textiles with coldblack® can make an effective contribution to protecting against harmful UV rays.

Intro corkshell With corkshell™ from Schoeller, it is now possible to combine the outstanding natural features of cork with those of high-performance fabrics. corkshell™ offers much higher thermal insulation than functional fabrics while providing both high breathability and wearer comfort.
corkshell™ is made of an FSC-certified cork granulate that is a by-product in the manufacturing of wine corks. This natural granulate is pulverized and firmly anchored as a coating in a special process patented by Schoeller.
Two corkshell™ options are available:
  • Two-layer fabric construction with a cork coating on the inside of the fabric
  • Three-layer fabric construction with the cork coating in the middle

All fabric constructions are water and wind repelling, highly breathable and is available in both 2-way and 4-way stretch qualities.

Intro ecodye Less time, less water, less energy – schoeller®-ecodye is a specially developed auxiliary concept for polyester (PES) dyeing processes. The technology accelerates the dyeing process of yarns and piece goods, thereby saving resources and costs, while simultaneously protecting the environment.
ecodye Block 1
schoeller® ecodye makes shorter heating-up phases possible. In addition, the dyeing process improves the product quality. Even with critical nuances and dye combinations, the use of this technology does not negatively impact the evenness of the dyeing.

The plant cuticle is the very outer layer of leaves which protects them from uncontrolled evaporation. This wafer-thin waxy film enveloping the leaves and stems is responsible for the familiar way that water droplets run off in the morning dew or in heavy rain. This effect is the  inspiration for ecorepel®.

Read FAQ
ecorepel® ® uses a highly functional, permanently odorless high-tech finish that mimics the natural protective mechanism of plants. The finish spirals around the individual fibers in a thin film, reducing surface tension. This creates the repellent effect that causes water droplets and watery dirt to roll off the textile surface. Breathability is not impaired, the handle remains pleasantly soft, and the textiles stay dry and clean.
ecorepel® completely eliminates fluorocarbon components and is therefore PFC-free. The technology is bluesign® certified, which means that it meets strict environmental and health standards. ecorepel® allows products to be made that meet the demands of modern outdoor activities without harming the environment.It is a sustainable solution that prioritizes the protection of nature and the health of people and the environment.
