Resil Chemicals, a diversified chemical and performance materials manufacturer, has announced the launch of its intelligent summer garment technology for textiles – COOLIT. This is a sustainable cooling technology that responds dynamically to body temperature and perspiration. On contact with sweat, COOLIT generates a cooling effect, leaving wearers feeling cool and comfortable.
Commenting on this innovative technology, Mr. Ganesh Srinivasan, Executive Director – Innovation, Resil Chemicals, said: “Though we are the pioneers in innovative textile technology with technologies such as anti-odour, we realize that customers have other pain points when it comes to wearer comfort and feeling cool. It is the need of the hour, especially due to changing climatic conditions. COOLIT is completely safe for the garment and environment and therefore the quality of the fabric is not altered in any way. Resil Chemicals has invested a lot of time and effort into the R&D and testing of smart technologies”.
Mr. Sai Krishnan, from ColorPlus, believes that such functional finishes add value to the product range and provides the benefit of superior comfort to the consumer.
ColorPlus, one of India’s premium and most respected brands has unveiled its new range of chinos with a unique ‘X-Cool Finish’. This revolutionary cooling finish utilizes the COOLIT technology from Resil Chemicals in the finishing process to ensure that chinos stay cool. COOLIT-treated fabrics adapt to body temperature to keep wearers at their comfortable best.
With a heritage of more than 25 years of product development and innovation for the textile industry, Resil is one of Asia’s leading innovative formulators of silicone for textiles. The product range covers finishing, pre-treatment and specialty processes.
Resil was one of the first to begin a process of transformation by exploring the power of silicones in diverse industries. It has developed into new markets and now serves agriculture, paper, leather, personal care and many other specialty chemical industries. Resil has a whole new range of products based on emerging technologies such as antimicrobials for various industrial applications (mainly textiles, plastics and leather). Advanced functional materials for various specialty applications can also be customized on request.
Resil recently won the prestigious National Award from the Technology Development Board, Department of Science and Technology, for its successful commercialization of an indigenous technology, N9 Pure Silver. This Award was presented by the President of India, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee.
