1 Thermore, and the Art of Insulation Innovations. Making a New Business Reality for Fashion and Sport Munich Fabric Start Booth Number A3 #10 (Asia Salon - Atrium) Thermore, the leader in thermal innovations, beguiles the market with its EVOdown revolutionary insulation launched in May this year. And a raft of new brand adoptions are now using the new Thermore labeling system to invite customers to Search Inside and know the hidden performance values of their purchase from the complete range offered by Thermore today. Labeling tells customers also about internationally recognized quality standard awards that now include the new Bluesign Certification, awarded to EVOdown and the superlight Aria insulation, which has also achieved a new GRS certification (Global Recycle Standard). EVOdown, presented in May to the market, stands apart from all other thermal insulation materials, is confirmed as the only credible successor and current commercial alternative to traditional down fill. It s unlike anything else available in the market. EVOdown is the alternative to down insulation concept that matches perfectly that exclusive luxury feel, but combines it with easycare, durable and high-tech performance metrics, smartly coupled with market sensible competitive pricing. This triumvirate of attributes is the Thermore research focus. Think about the escalating cost of duck and goose down, as well as issues of animal welfare, and unreliable, variable quality standards. EVOdown completely answers these concerns, guaranteeing to avoid migration and clumping issues of conventional fiberfill because its unique structural design, best described as a rolled free-fiber composite, controls movement with its two external higher density webs surrounding a free fiber structure in the centre. This new composite ensures consistent high thermal performance, while maintaining its structural integrity through laundering and wear. And because it s supplied in an easy to use roll form, the same volumes and softness of down can be delivered very cost competitively. EVOdown is offered in three weights, for ultra-light jackets to high-puff parkas. Best results follow a recommendation that it is quilted with test approved down-proof, ultra-light fabrics (<30 gr.) in a pattern of 5cm or smaller for the 80g and 115g weights, and 10cm or smaller for the 170g weight. Consistency and security is also earned also when any Thermore product is specified, including hypoallergenic guarantees, thanks to the company s commitment to excluding the use of PFOA and PFOAS, as recommended by Greenpeace. This has helped garner the prestigious Bluesign Certificate for the CLASSIC, Ecodown, Rinnova and Thermosoft products. It is certified GRS (Global Recycle Standard) for CLASSIC, RINNOVA. And there are important news on this side: EVOdown and ARIA got the Bluesign certificate and ARIA got also the GRS ( Global Recycle Standard ) certification.
