Germany-based Cognis, a leading speciality chemicals company, is working at the forefront of developments in cosmeto-textiles using microencapsulation. The company combines its strengths in cosmetics and textiles to produce innovative treatments under the banner “active textiles”, which are aimed at meeting the market for ever-more intelligent garments.
The range of active textile treatments produced by Cognis includes one which provides the wearer with a cooling effect and another which is designed to moisturise the skin. One textile treatment even claims to revitalise tired and heavy legs. The active ingredients microencapsulated in these textile treatments are released with natural body movements and the effect persists through several washes.
Cognis has seen above-average growth in its markets, partly as a result of capitalising on two broad trends: wellness; and environmental sustainability and performance. By focusing its product development and expertise on these trends, the company plans to increase market penetration of new and speciality products which are more profitable and which drive sales.
