About this technology
Overview
A highly emissive coating that NASA invented to protect the heat shield on a planned spaceplane in the 1990s was licensed and turned into the Emisshield product line. Now it’s been incorporated into textiles by Clean Textile Technology LLC of North Naples, Florida, under the brand name Trizar and improves temperature regulation in various outdoor gear and other apparel.
