Control System

HEROTEX™ is designed as a thermal energy control system rather than a conventional
moisture-control material. Traditional performance fabrics have focused on waterproofing and breathability. HEROTEX™ is engineered to manage heat transfer, including conduction,
radiation, and convection, within the material structure.
By controlling multiple modes of heat transfer at the coating level, the system can be
adapted for environments exposed to radiant heat, high temperature, infrared energy,
and thermal stress. The technology is built as a coating-based platform that allows
different thermal control functions to be combined depending on the required specification.

Coating & Composite Engineering

HEROTEX™ uses a coating and composite structure instead of relying on a membrane-only construction. The coating layer can be applied to different base fabrics, allowing thermal control functions to be integrated without fixing the material to a single fabric type. This structure makes it possible to design materials for different applications while maintaining the same thermal management principle. The coating system can be adjusted in thickness, composition, and application method depending on the required performance.

Aerogel Coating Technology

At the core of the HEROTEX™ system is an aerogel-based nanoporous coating. The aerogel structure contains a large volume of air within microscopic pores, resulting in extremely low thermal conductivity compared to conventional materials. This coating reduces heat transfer while keeping the material lightweight and flexible. Because the insulation function is achieved through the coating layer, the thermal performance can be applied without significantly increasing fabric thickness.

IR Control Technology

HEROTEX™ incorporates infrared reflection and absorption control within the coating formulation. The coating can be designed to reduce radiant heat exposure and to control infrared emission depending on the intended application. This allows the material to be used in environments where thermal visibility, radiant heat, or high-temperature exposure must be managed. The IR control function can be combined with insulation and other thermal control elements within the same coating system.

PCM Integration

Phase Change Material (PCM) can be integrated into the coating to provide thermal buffering. The PCM absorbs and releases heat as temperature changes, helping to reduce rapid temperature fluctuation inside the material. This function can be used together with insulation and infrared control to achieve a more stable thermal condition. PCM integration can be adjusted depending on the required performance level and application.

Zonal Thermal Architecture

HEROTEX™ allows thermal control to be applied selectively rather than across the entire surface. Instead of full-surface coating, the material can be designed with partial coating zones where thermal protection is required. This makes it possible to provide insulation and radiant heat blocking in critical areas while maintaining breathability in other areas. The zonal structure enables more precise thermal control without fully blocking airflow or flexibility.

Performance Verification

Material performance is verified through defined test procedures and performance specifications.

Material performance is verified through defined test procedures and performance specifications.

HEROTEX™ materials are evaluated based on thermal insulation, radiant heat control,
and temperature stability according to the required application conditions.

Testing is conducted to confirm that the coating structure and material composition meet the specified performance level before production. Standardized verification allows the same thermal management capability to be reproduced across different materials and manufacturing processes. Performance validation ensures that the technology can be applied consistently in apparel,
equipment, industrial materials, and structural applications.

Certification and test-based evaluation are used to maintain reliability when the technology is produced in different locations or applied to different material structures.
