37.5® Technology, a textile innovation by Cocona

PATENTED TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY, USING BODY HEAT TO ELIMINATE HUMIDITY

37.5® technology is a textile innovation that improves the performance of your body. When you make an effort, moisture from transpiration is released by the pores of the skin, and allows the body temperature to drop. In fact, every gram of evaporated sweat releases 580 calories of stored heat. If this water vapour is not eliminated from your clothes, shoes or gloves, it builds up and creates an uncomfortable moist microclimate.
37.5® technology improves on the body’s natural cooling mechanism. The body produces sweat in order to lower its temperature – 37.5® technology eliminates the microclimate created by your clothes.

How does it work?

The 37.5® active particles trigger two unique processes that no other technology achieves. Firstly, they attract water away from your skin using electrostatic force. Next, they absorb the infrared energy naturally emitted by your body, which heats up these particles and speeds up evaporation. In addition, these active particles can increase the total surface area of a garment to around 1000 square metres. This increase in the surface area combined with these active powers is the reason no other textile innovation can achieve the performance of 37.5® in terms of speed of drying. The technical fabric created using 37.5® technology allows you to wear a breathable garment that removes transpiration before it can stagnate in sensitive areas of your body. By capturing human infrared rays, the textile fibres used make it possible to eliminate water vapour.
This technological innovation is a revolution for hospitality & catering professionals. Everyday tasks require constant physical effort and the working environment can expose professionals to strong sources of heat. The use of a heat-regulating smart fabric in working garments offers ideal comfort to work in better conditions. This manufacturing process is used in the design of all our 37.5® workwear.

Advantages of 37.5® technology

37.5® technology works to maintain an optimal relative humidity in the microclimate next to your skin, so that your body can keep its ideal base temperature more efficiently, allowing you to work harder for longer.
Innovative fabrics made with 37.5® technology dry up to five times faster than other textiles, reducing garment drying times.
37.5® technology is made with materials derived from natural products and 37.5® fibre has been certified by the Hohenstein Institute (an independent German research centre that tests the quality of textiles) as “Skin Friendly” and hypoallergenic.
During the manufacturing process, the 37.5® technology active particles are permanently incorporated into the thread. The weave prevents the particles from escaping, being washed out or breaking down.

Characteristics of 37.5® technology

The 37.5® natural active particles improve the performance and comfort of your garments
37.5® technology cools you down when you’re hot and warms you up when it’s cold
37.5® technology keeps you in a microclimate with an ideal relative humidity and internal temperature
37.5® technology eliminates sweat vapour as soon as it appears, before it becomes liquid
The 37.5® active particles are sourced from natural materials
37.5® technology captures odours and eliminates them during washing and drying
The 37.5® technology is integrated into the fibre and remains effective over the lifetime of the garment
