THERMAL ACCUMULATION MATERIAL FOR TEXTILE

@Thermal accumulation material is composed of PCM (phase change material) and
Micro-capsule material. Paraffin which has large potential heat amount is used as PCM. We have two different kind of micro-capsule wall materials. One is Melamine type and another is Non-formaldehyde type. These micro-capsules are viscous white color slurry in appearance. Viscous Gel as well as Powder products are also available.




The advantage and character of Thermal accumulation micro-capsule is that it can repeatedly absorb and emit heat energy. The paraffin in the micro-capsule absorbs and emits gthe potential heat energyh when it inverts from solid to liquid phase and from liquid to solid phase. The paraffin absorbs the gheat of fusionh, when solid phase melts into liquid phase by heating. The paraffin emits the gheat of solidificationh, when liquid phase solidifies into solid phase. This is the basic mechanism of Thermal accumulation of warm & cool action.

The temperature of thermal accumulation of absorption and emission can be adjustable with change of melting temperature of paraffin as core material of micro-capsule.




CHARACTER & APPLICATION OF MICRO-CAPSULATED THERMAL ACCUMULATION MATERIAL

Micro-capsulated thermal accumulation material has a wide and potential application possibilities with various different temperatures.
It is possible at the option of the kind of PCM (paraffin) to be required temperature and also possible to develop the new product having temperature buffering property to be required certain temperature.

For example, 5Ž type can accumulate the temperature at 5Ž even if the heating temperature rises more than that. On the contrary, even if the heating temperature go down at less than 5Ž, it works to keep its temperature at 5Ž.

The conventional cooling material goes up its temperature when the heating temperature rises. However, Micro-capsulated Thermal accumulation material can keep its temperature at fixed of 5Ž for a certain period of time.

The character of Micro capsulated Thermal accumulation material


‚Pj Melamine capsulated slurry
PMCD-‘‘ series.
These series are composed of melamine capsulated
Wall having best performance of gpotential heath.
Because of melamine resin, it will become dry
Fine powders after drying.
Therefore, white powdering on deep shade of
Dyed textile fabrics will appear in some cases.

‚Qj Non-Formaldehyde capsulated slurry
PMCD-‘‘ N series, PMCD-‘‘ NF series.
These series are composed of non-formaldehyde resin polymer as micro capsule wall Material, so that it does not become powdering and white powdering as it makes film Formation on the substrates like textiles.

‚Rj Emulsion
PMED-‘‘ series.
These series are composed of non-formaldehyde emulsion without any resin polymer
Component so that it has no durability.

‚Sj Powder
PMCD-‘‘ SP series.
These series are processed with dry-spray Of Melamine capsulated slurry.
The active contents is 70% so that its potential
Heat energy is very large. It can work well even In the solvent.@@ It contains formaldehyde.

‚Tj Powder
LA-‘‘ series.
By special inorganic wall micro-capsulated material, it does not contain any
Formaldehyde and has 50% active contents under powder form.
