  Heatsheets® - This super light, super warm, heat-reflective blanket, manufactured by Advanced Flexible Materials Inc., is made from metalized low density polyethylene (LDPE), and is 1 millimeter thick (or 0.001 inch). The reflective layer in Heatsheets® blankets reflect up to 97% of body’s radiant heat right back to the user, creating an envelope of warm air. Heatsheets are recyclable, and can be printed. Heatsheets® are made and printed in California, where state law (AB 455) prohibits the use of heavy metals in inks or materials. Most of the inks used are water based (as opposed to solvents), minimizing air pollution.
  HeiQ Allergen Tech - Developed by HeiQ Allergen Tech, this 100% biobased proprietary textile technology aims to improve the lives of all those who suffer from allergies. The technology reduces inanimate allergens, like house dust mite matter, and pet allergens, and can be easily added in the finishing stage of the manufacturing process to textiles targeted to bedding and furniture purposes.
  HeiQ Clean Tech - HeiQ Clean Tech is an innovative, eco-friendly and efficient finishing technology with time, water and energy savings of 30-40%. It enables a faster polyester dyeing process with disperse dyes, as well as optimizing the textile product quality. The technology is suitable for most standard polyester dyeing machines and can be applied to wovens, knits, and yarns.
  HeiQ Cool - HeiQ Cool, the world's first Dual-action cooling technology, delivers instant contact cooling and continuous evaporative-cooling for optimal well-being day and night. It cools before the first sign of sweat, delays the build-up of heat and continuously regulates the temperature. It is instantly cool to the touch, the components synergistically recharge the surface layer ensuring a consistently cool, dry and comfortable climate around the body. This bio-based vegetable oil-derived thermo-functional polymer absorbs heat energy, gives an instant cooling sensation. If the body continues to heat up, perspiration is generated and the patented hydro-functional polymer transports moisture away together with the heat, creating a continuous cooling effect that stops once cooling is complete.
  HeiQ Eco Dry - HeiQ Eco Dry is an innovative, eco-friendly and non-PFC based repellent textile technology that provides protection against water and water-based stains. Bio- inspired HeiQ Eco Dry keeps garments ecologically dry and equips textiles to handle wet weather conditions. HeiQ Eco Dry is ideally suited for outdoor jackets, windbreakers, hiking pants, fleece and footwear.
  HeiQ Fresh - HeiQ Fresh is a comprehensive family of sustainable and highly effective odor control technologies that can be tailored for each fabric type and intended performance. HeiQ Fresh odor control technology can be used on activewear, casual wear, business wear, and home fabrics.
  HeiQ HyProTecht - HeiQ HyProTecht is a versatile antimicrobial technology, which suppresses the growth of algae, mold, mildew, fungi, and the bacteria that cause unpleasant odors, discoloration, staining, and deterioration. With strong antimicrobial efficacy demonstrated by ISO 20743 in textile products, HeiQ Hyprotecht is an effective treatment in washable fabrics for at least 30 washes at 140 degrees F.
  HeiQ Pure - HeiQ Pure technology is an antimicrobial odor control product. HeiQ Pure represents advanced bio- and silver-based finishes that effectively inhibit bacterial growth on textiles, keeping your products hygienic and smelling fresh. HeiQ Pure offers a long-lasting feeling of cleanliness and freshness, exceptional antimicrobial efficiency and durability (guaranteed performance for the lifetime of the product). HeiQ Pure is based on recycled silver, maintains fabric breathability/hand, and is applicable to all fiber types. End-use Applications include next-to-skin apparel, activewear/casual wear, business wear, underwear, sports apparel/hiking shirts, socks, footwear/gloves, home textiles (towels and bed linen), and uniforms in clinical and care facilities.
  HeiQ Real Silk - HeiQ Real Silk is a silk treatment for short silk fibers, which produces the luxurious touch effects of silk: soft, dry, cool, and comfortable. The technology uses real silk fibers secured to the surface of each textile fiber. The treatment is ideal for any fashion apparel and brings a touch of luxury to otherwise "common" fabrics (e.g. polyester or cotton) with a touch of luxury and the luxurious feel of silk.
  HeiQ Smart Temp - HeiQ Smart Temp is a revolutionary textile technology that provides fabrics with the ability to interact with body temperature and dynamically respond to body heat. The cooling function is activated when the body becomes hot and sweaty, and is deactivated once cooling is complete, which ensures optimal comfort and performance. HeiQ Smart Temp is specifically designed for next-to-skin textiles, bringing a new level of thermal comfort to clothing and hosiery. It also brings comfort to home textiles, such as bed linen and mattress ticking.
  HeiQ XReflex - Developed by HeiQ in partnership with xefco®, the company's HeiQ XReflex is a radiant barrier technology that allows maintenance of the same level of warmth with half the insulation material. An ultra-thin surface coating reflects radiant body heat for increased thermal retention to create a premium, lightweight, breathable fabric. Performance fabrics enhanced with HeiQ XReflex maintain warmth with up to 50% less insulation for reduced bulk, making it the perfect solution for outdoor and sports jackets, pants and skirts, lifestyle jackets and coats, as well as sleeping bags.
  Hydroflex® - Hydroflex® is a polyurethane-based coating from Consoltex that creates a durable, waterproof, breathable, wind-resistant finish for nylon or polyester. Important end-uses include jackets and outerwear.
  Hygro™ - Moisture-responsive fabrics produced through the use of the Hygro™ process. In this research, the reversible dimensional changes of hygroscopic yarns are utilized to develop responsive fabric structures which widen or narrow their openings depending on moisture content. The process is also used to make terry toweling fabric. In this process, the pile yarn is woven with cotton weft and warp yarns to produce terry fabrics. The fabric is then washed in warm water to dissolve the PVA fibers. By dissolving the PVA fibers, a hollow air space is produced throughout the pile yarn, corresponding to an increase in the air space in the pile yarn. By increasing the air space in the pile yarn, the resulting towels are softer and bulkier than standard cotton towels.
  HYGY™ - This group of patented single layer fabrics, produced by King Tech Industries, have multiple functions including super- strength, light weight, breathable, water-repellant, water- resistant, temperature tolerant, color fastness, anti-abrasion, anti-germ, anti-mosquitoes, non-toxic, and recyclable. With extensive R&D capabilities, King Tech is able to engineer and manufacture the best quality fabrics, serving the needs of customers in the sports, leisure, uniform and industrial fields.
  Hytrel® films/fabric laminates - Hytrel® is a DuPont registered trademark for its engineering thermoplastic elastomer. The polyether-ester block coplymers combine many of the most desirable characteristics of high performance elastomers and flexible plastics, and offer a unique combination of strength, elasticity, and flexibility, without the use of plasticizers. Very thin monolithic films of 0.001 inch or less can be extruded from Hytrel. Hytrel films are bonded to textiles for both disposal and reusable applications. End uses: applications include end uses requiring waterproof, breathable, and waterproof characteristics; outdoor apparel, operating room gowns, personal protective apparel, backpacks and bedding covers for allergy control.
