Devan Chemicals is proud to present its latest Innovations at Heimtextil 2024

Devan Chemicals, a renowned pioneer in sustainable textile finishes, is excited to announce its upcoming participation in Heimtextil 2024. Devan invites attendees to explore their booth in Hall 11.0, booth A21, and experience firsthand the latest sustainable textile finishes that Devan has developed.

Devan technologies provide innovative solutions for product developers and portfolio designers, addressing the growing demand for sustainability and transparency in the corporate world. Introducing the latest advancements in technology, Devan is proud to showcase the newest additions to their R-Vital NTL Range and Thermic High Cooling technology.

R-Vital® NTL Range

R-Vital® NTL enables textile manufacturers to boost their textiles with a range of active, natural ingredients that have a positive effect on the body and mind. Elements such as Chamomile oil and Arnica Montana are absorbed by the skin and have relaxing, moisturizing or hydrating effects. The biobased content of the R-Vital well-being technology is +97%, readily biodegradable (OECD 301B).

R-Vital® NTL Regenight™: Devan and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics join forces to launch a ground-breaking technology, R-Vital NTL Regenight™, a technology which improves sleep quality and also improves nighttime skin recovery. Using an upcycled oil soluble fraction obtained from Australian Tea tree oil distillation process, Regenight™ acts through both inhalation to improve nighttime rest and through topical action to provide skin recovery.

Tested in real-life context using proven biometric technology, the dual action provided individually by Regenight™ proposes a breakthrough approach to reduce the impact of poor-quality sleep on the skin.

R-Vital® NTL Chamomile oil: Chamomile oil is known for its moisturizing and soothing properties. Additionally, this oil is believed to have antioxidant and inflammatory properties. Furthermore, chamomile oil is renowned for its calming effects and potential to reduce stress and anxiety, helping improve sleep quality.

R-Vital® NTL Warming: Engineered to deliver a gentle warmth, the R-Vital NTL Warming technology ensures a cozy and comfortable sleeping experience. This blend is a solution that infuses a sense of warmth, promoting physical and emotional well-being.

R-Vital NTL Arnica Montana: Harnessing the natural benefits of Arnica Montana, this ingredient, is celebrated for its potent healing and recovering properties.

Thermic High Cooling

At Heimtextil Devan will also present a new high cooling technology that provides an optimal and refreshing sleeping climate, ensuring a cool and restful night's sleep. Thermic High Cooling is based on reactive microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs). The smart heat exchange mechanism keeps the body within its comfort zone. This makes the body suffer less from night sweats, and results in a longer, healthier and more comfortable sleep with fewer awakenings. This new formulation with high cooling level and high solid content, presents around 30% more cooling than standard PCM formulations. One padding allows to achieve high cooling level (no need to run multiple applications). A Bio-based version is also available - Thermic® Bio, where the PCMs are derived from sustainable, natural sources.

Devan Chemicals' presence at Heimtextil 2024 underscores the company's commitment to pushing the boundaries of textile innovation. Visitors to the Devan booth will have the opportunity to engage with the technologies firsthand, gaining insights into the future of textiles and the role they play in enhancing daily living.

"We are excited to unveil these groundbreaking technologies at Heimtextil 2024. Our commitment to sustainability and performance has driven us to develop solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of today's consumers," said Dr. Roberto Teixeira, CTO at Devan Chemicals. "We invite everyone to visit our booth in The Sleep and More Hall 11.0., experience the future of textiles, and explore how Devan Chemicals is shaping the industry."
