FabRoc - Heated Clothing Wonder Material
Heated clothing from exo² uses an exciting new product
called FabRocTM. This flexible polymer material is heated by low voltage, and is
flexible enough to be configured into almost any shape.
There are no wires in FabRocTM. This makes it much safer than other
wire-based heated clothing products. FabRocTM can be stretched, slit, or torn
and still continue to operate.
FabRocTM is the ideal material for heated clothing, since it
can never overheat. As it approaches the desired temperature, the polymer
material draws less power. It maintains the proper temperature for heated
clothing by self-regulating its power consumption. Power sources such as
batteries can provide longer heating time with FabRocTM heated clothing.
Heated Clothing and More
FabRocTM is a boon to heated clothing, but it has many other
applications. Since FabRocTM is less than 1mm thick, it can be used in a variety
of heated clothing products such as gloves, jackets, vests, inner soles, and
belts.
FabRocTM technology has potential uses in medical equipment,
search and rescue gear, and many other applications where uniform, constant
heat is needed.
The beauty of FabRocTM technology is that it creates a heated
environment with no hot spots. It relies on Positive Temperature Coefficient
(PTC) technology to maintain constant temperatures and drawing very little
electrical current.
