Textiles that are able to heat up are not novelty, yet their production optimization can bring several competitive advantages in terms of price, time consumption, shapes and malleability.
The use of the associated competitive advantages of Weft knitting technology allows to optimize the production stages of E-Textiles. The quality of this solution is remarkably competitive, as you can see in the images bellow, its appearance is of a normal knitted textile once the heating assembly is 100% incorporated along knitting process, This means that there is no need to place the electrical yarn in a different production stage saving money, time and increasing quality.
his solution can heat up to proximally 50°C without degrading any part of its assembly. Completely reproducible and easy to work, this product can be, for example, wetted without any risk of short circuit, ignition or flame spread. They can also be remote controlled with proper application for smart phone or tablet.
Thermal images shows the effect of the incorporated heating system. It is completely homogeneous throughout all surface creating a continuous thermal environment in overall area of application.
From home design, wearable technical textiles, automobile industry, industrial processes and several other technological applications, this product can, not only bring up a competitive production optimization with improved results, but also the possibility to be adapted in the most diverse surfaces, architectural challenged approaches, among others.
