## What it is

KulKote is a proprietary coating of water-based polymers and multiple phase change materials (PCMs). It is an industrial product used in consumer goods. It is typically applied to flexible foams, textiles, and fibers to regulate body temperature.

It is **not** a finished mattress, shoe, or consumer retail product. It is sold to manufacturers who apply it in their own production (spray, roll, brush, or screen print).

## How it works

Phase change materials absorb and release thermal energy when they melt and solidify. KulKote uses PCMs that activate at a variety of temperatures. When body heat hits the coating, PCMs absorb energy (cooling feel). When the heat source is removed, stored energy is released. The cycle continues for the life of the finished product.

Unlike gel, KulKote remains breathable and does not seal foam pores. Gel can act as a heat sink; KulKote is intended as ongoing temperature regulation.

## Where it is used

Bedding (mattresses, pillows), footwear, furniture, medical, pet products, sporting goods, textiles, and transportation.

## Safety and handling (liquid)

Water-based. Do not freeze in liquid form; store and ship above about 5°C / 45°F. Once applied, freezing is not a concern. Not a solvent coating.
