Dark colors heat up stronger when exposed to direct sunlight compared to light colors. This no longer needs to happen! Now there is coldblack®, a special finishing technology for textiles which reduces heat build-up and provides reliable protection from UV rays.

Effective heat management
Light colored textiles reflect both visible and invisible rays of sunlight, meaning both heat and light. Dark colored textiles absorb both types of rays and therefore absorb heat. coldblack® reduces this absorption of heat rays, particularly in the case of darker colors, and in all types of textiles. The result is tangibly better heat management. Because textiles finished with coldblack® heat up less in all colors compared with material without a coldblack® finish.

Reliable protection from UV rays
Many textiles worn in the summertime or exposed to the sun offer poor protection from damaging UV rays. The coldblack® technology guarantees a minimum UPF 30 protection when applied to any textile in any color without affecting the look or feel of the product.

Advantages

Application: The finishing process does not alter the feel or look of the base material, is permanent, and is suited for all kind of textiles for outdoor and sports clothing, for fashion wear, for garden furniture as well as for car seats. The coldblack® finishing only contains "bluesign® approved" components by Clariant. It is applicable on all textiles (cotton, synthetics, etc.) www.coldblack.ch
