Expertise

The services provided by my company Textile Testing & Innovation (TTI) are focused on helping businesses to develop outstanding products equipped with Phase Change Material (PCM). The application of PCM improves the thermal performance of products leading, for instance, to increased thermal comfort and enhanced energy-efficiency. We have created a database of 200 + PCMs which is used to select the appropriate PCM for a prevailing application. A specifically developed computer simulation and calculation procedure is utilized to support product design and to determine necessary PCM amounts for a given application. Furthermore, we provide testing services where we use standard procedures and in-house developed procedures and equipment to evaluate PCMs, materials containing PCM and end-use products such as helmets, car seats or building materials equipped with PCM. In addition, in-house designed software is used to determine long-term thermal effects obtained by the PCM application.
