DuPont Advanced Materials has announced the latest offering from DuPont Intexar – a powered smart clothing technology for on-body heating.

DuPont describes Intexar Heat as a thin lightweight and durable heating solution for outdoor clothing that is designed to be easily integrated into garments.

“Intexar Heat is a revolutionary stretchable ink and film that when powered, creates a comfortable warmth,” said Michael Burrows, global business manager, DuPont Advanced Materials. “Our team has worked hard to develop a heater that feels like fabric, doesn’t rely on cables, thick wires or big batteries, and can stand up to very cold environments. From outdoor enthusiasts to industrial workers, Intexar Heat can help conquer the elements in comfort, increasing focus and improving performance.”

DuPont highlighted Intexar Heat in partnership with the Formosa Taffeta Company (FTC) at the ISPO Munich trade show on 28-31 January.
