The Platform
01
The Heating Element
Smooth comfortable heating yarns enable integration in next-to-skin apparel.
For the best effect, the heating element should be worn close to the skin.
Inuheat has developed a completely new type of heating element – a conductive yarn which can be seamlessly knitted, woven or embroidered into textiles in a cost-effective way, with existing production equipment.
The patented unique, soft, comfortable and functional heating element/yarn is durable and flexible and the element does not break, despite long and active usage. Inuheat ensures quality accreditation of products before and during production. Safety is important and all functions are monitored on a continuous basis. The heating system requires advanced technology for control, which takes place through the microprocessor in Inuheat’s PowerPack.
