| Outlast and Protex launch new development | | March 29, 2011 (Germany) |  |
 The capsules are very tiny: Around 1,000 fit onn the head of a pin (ca. 3 million per cm²). Inside the patented microcapsules, called Outlast® Thermocules™, substances similar to paraffin are stored, which are capable of phase change. This simple physical principle is well-known to everyone, example H2O: Water becomes ice or vapour when energy is added or taken away. PCM technology takes advantage of exactly this same law of physics. The advantages of Outlast® Adaptive Comfort® products at a glance:
- Absorbs excess body heat
- Manages moisture
- Reduces overheating
- Reduces chilling
- Reduces perspiration
- Continuously adapts to thermal changes
Everybody’s sensitivity to temperature changes is different, which means everyone sweats or becomes chilled at different rates; quickly or slowly. But the temperature corridor in which we feel comfortable is relatively narrow: when the body core temperature of 37°C fluctuates only 2°C upwards or downwards we are subject to fever or hypothermia. Here Outlast® products help. They reduce temperature swings and influence the comfort zone efficiently. The microclimate is well balanced, one sweats less and is less chilled. You feel not too hot, not too cold, but just right®. | | | | Outlast | |
