Coolcore, the global leader in chemical-free cooling fabrics, has received a patent (US Patent No. 9,121,642), from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for “Method of Cooling an Object with a Fabric”.

The patent covers activation that includes wetting the item, wringing out excess liquid, and snapping or waving the fabric to activate the moisture control through the fabric. Even more specifically, the present invention is for a fabric that becomes cool when activated by liquid and remains cool for an extended period of time thereafter, Coolcore said on its blog.

Coolcore chief executive officer and president, Kevin McCarthy said, “As the original innovator of chemical-free cooling fabrics, our intellectual property and the on-going commitment to innovation continues to reinforce our position in the market today.”

The Company also owns US Patent No. 8,440,119 for its cooling material innovation. The patent covers the manufacturing of any chemical-free cooling fabric that transfers moisture away from the skin, while regulating the movement and evaporation of that moisture throughout the fabric as described in the patent.

Coolcore fabric formulations have earned the prestigious “Innovative Technology” recognition from the Hohenstein Institute, a first for a US company, and the only company globally to be awarded this recognition for “Cooling Power.” Additionally, it was recently announced as a finalist in two categories for the 2015 ITMA Future Materials Awards – “Groundbreaking Partnership” and “Best Innovation – Sports Textiles” for its cooling fabric innovations.

Coolcore develops and provides private label cooling towels to its brand and retail partners globally, as well as cooling apparel and accessories. (GK)
