Four Product Groups.
Customized Integration Support
In the past 15 years KC has developed a vast range of wearable technology solutions. These have now been condensed down to four main product types, enabling you to innovate in the fields of thermal management, electronic innovations, textile wearables and smart accessories.
Thermal Management
In-garment heating for extreme environments down to −50°C, active liquid cooling and AirCore fan cooling, engineered for the temperature extremes where your teams operate.
CoolStream
Active liquid cooling for people who work, move and perform in extreme heat. PCM cooling packs and micro-pump circulation keep core body temperature under control, without restricting movement. Three speed settings, silent pump option available.
AirCore
Garment-integrated fan cooling system that drives active airflow across the body. Lightweight, quiet and removable, engineered for environments where liquid cooling is impractical but heat management remains essential.
HeatCore
Six-zone graphene heating integrated directly into your outerwear in front, back and arms. Engineered to operate at −50°C. Where keeping personnel warm is mission-critical, HeatCore delivers reliable, consistent warmth for an entire shift, with up to 9 hours of runtime.
HELPING THE BODY TO THERMOREGULATE
Electronic Innovations
NFC ecosystems, wireless charging and GPS/SOS tracking, the digital layer that makes garments and accessories active, connected and functional.
NFC Smart Products
Custom made NFC cards, wristbands, keychains, charms, patches, rings and other special objects are all physical products that create instant digital connections. They are developed and marketed in partnership with ZATAP, to create experiences of fans of for music, sport, hospitality, fashion, and retail.
Wireless Charging Pockets
Integrated charging pockets for smartphones and two-way radios keep devices powered throughout the entire day without removing them from the garment. Our patented elastic pocket design fits all standard smartphone models.
GPS / SOS Tracking
Integrated GPS trackers for garments and accessories, available with server chip, smartphone app or SIM card. Mobile units support two-way audio calls. NFC patches enable emergency SOS signals with live GPS location, directly from the garment.
How smart connectivity integrates into a garment
Two ways of turning smart textiles into wearable technologies
Invisible technical layers that perform important new functions in garments and accessories.
Silverguard
With 20% pure silver, textiles can protect credit cards from illegal scanners and eliminate bacteria and viruses in seconds of contact.
OdAbsorb
Discreet activated carbon textiles can solve the age-old problem of odour. They are extremely nanoporous and absorb odour molecules with amazing effectiveness. In discreet underarm inlays, this function is sewn into the armhole seam, to eliminate odour close to the source, without affecting garment appearance, feel or washability. They increase wearer confidence and drastically reduce the need for frequent washing and dry-cleaning, extending garment lifespans and reducing waste. Available in white and black mesh to suit any garment colour.
How SMART TEXTILES integrate into garments AND ACCESSORIES
Smart Accessories
Connected bags, audio eyewear and integrated power systems wearable technology that lives beyond the garment.
TechnoBags
Intelligent handbags platform with built in technologies. Wireless charging, NFC, GPS, SOS and power supply systems are invisible integrated inside a bag, to enhance the beauty of your bag with exciting new functions. Made in your brand's design and to your specifications. Fashion and function engineered together.
Integrated Accessories
Bone conduction audio, in headwear and glasses, for hands-free listening without in-ear devices. Flexible solar panels for all-day power in garment-integrated electronics.
