INUTEQ-DRY® Technology

INUTEQ-DRY® is a revolutionary evaporative cooling technology. This patented system is engineered to provide long-lasting and effective cooling while ensuring the user remains 100% dry, both on the inside and outside. This unique feature allows the cooling apparel to be worn over or under regular clothing without any risk of moisture transfer. Activated with a limited amount of regular tap water, INUTEQ-DRY® offers a convenient, comfortable, and highly effective solution for personal cooling in a wide range of professional and recreational environments.

The Technology 

The core of the INUTEQ-DRY® technology is its sophisticated multi-layer fabric system, which creates a completely sealed and dry cooling environment. The system consists of an outer layer, a core, and an inner membrane. The outer layer is a durable fabric that protects the system. The core contains a special wicking fleece that evenly distributes and stores the water. The most critical component is the proprietary breathable waterproof membrane. This advanced membrane allows the cooling effect from the slow evaporation of water to pass through to the wearer, but it completely blocks any moisture, ensuring the user's skin and clothing remain perfectly dry. The entire system is sealed with a watertight cap or zip-lock closure, creating a self-contained cooling reservoir within the garment.

How It Works

The INUTEQ-DRY® technology provides long-lasting cooling through a controlled evaporative process within a sealed system:

1. Activation: The user fills the product with a specified amount of water (typically up to 500 ml for a vest) through the special watertight closure.
2. Distribution: The water is then evenly distributed throughout the garment by the special fabric and wicking fleece, which holds the water in suspension.
3. Evaporation: The technology slowly releases the water through evaporation. This process draws heat away from the body, creating a significant cooling effect of up to 15°C below the ambient temperature.
4. Dry Comfort: The breathable, waterproof membrane on the inside of the garment ensures that it remains completely dry to the touch, preventing any damp or soggy feeling.

The cooling effect starts immediately after activation and can last from 8 hours up to an exceptional 3 days (72 hours), depending on the environmental conditions

Key Features and Benefits
INUTEQ-DRY® technology is engineered for maximum performance and comfort, offering unparalleled advantages:

• 100% Dry Cooling: The core innovation is its ability to cool without making the user’s skin or clothing wet, ensuring maximum comfort and allowing it to be worn with any type of clothing.
• Advanced Fabric Technology: The technology incorporates a unique, patented multi-layer system with a breathable waterproof membrane, ensuring superior performance and durability.
• Exceptional Long-Lasting Relief: A single activation with a small amount of water can provide cooling for up to 72 hours (3 days).
• Effective Cooling: Provides a substantial cooling effect, lowering the perceived temperature by as much as 15°C compared to the surrounding air.
• Lightweight: Even when fully activated, the products are lightweight. For example, a cooling vest weighs approximately 600 - 800 grams.
• Easy to Use: The products are simple to activate with a limited amount of tap water and can be re-activated whenever needed.
• Durable and Safe: The materials used are non-toxic and comply with REACH and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. The products are machine washable, have antibacterial properties, and a long lifespan of up to 750 activation cycles.

Technical Specifications and Performance
The performance of the INUTEQ-DRY® technology is influenced by the ambient temperature, humidity, and airflow. It performs best in environments with low to medium humidity, as this facilitates the evaporation process.
