Application of Cooling Functional Porpe and Tricot Materials

Kolon Industries FnC division announced on the 24th that its workwear brand 'BOLDEST' has launched new products that maximize cooling functionality.


First, the main focus is on products using the cooling functional 'FORPE' material for this spring-summer (SS) season. FORPE is a newly developed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fiber material created by Kolon Industries, which has high thermal conductivity, instantly drawing heat away upon contact with the skin to lower the perceived temperature. BOLDEST is the first to expand the use of FORPE, previously used in cooling pads and bedding, into clothing.

The 'Cool Armor T-shirt' is made by knitting polyester yarn with FORPE cooling material, providing not only coolness but also moisture absorption and quick-drying functions, allowing wearers to feel comfortable just by wearing it, according to Kolon FnC. Additionally, BOLDEST is releasing gloves and arm sleeves made with FORPE material this season to protect workers' hands and arms in hazardous environments involving knives or sharp metals.



The 'Lightwork Cooling' line, applying the lightweight and moisture-wicking cooling 'TRICOT' material, is also introduced. This product line uses high-performance nylon-spandex material verified for contact cooling functionality, offering flexibility and excellent breathability. The Lightwork Cooling T-shirt applies mesh spandex material with low transparency on sweat-prone areas such as the back. This season, BOLDEST's Lightwork Cooling line consists of basic designs including short-sleeve T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, and jogger pants.
