Texneo launches Boost Coolmax® knit fabric with COOLMAX® EcoMade technology and a focus on sustainability

A new technological fabric developed in partnership with The LYCRA Company offers thermal comfort, moisture management, and attributes aligned with the circular economy.

Texneo has just expanded its portfolio of solutions for the fashion industry with the launch of Boost Coolmax®, a technological fabric developed in partnership with The LYCRA Company. This new product incorporates COOLMAX® EcoMade technology, globally recognized for its efficiency in managing body moisture, and arrives on the market to meet the needs of brands seeking to combine performance, comfort, and sustainability in their products.

Developed to provide a greater feeling of freshness during use, Boost Coolmax® uses COOLMAX® EcoMade technology to transport moisture from the skin to the fabric surface, accelerating its evaporation. The result is a more comfortable wearing experience, especially in garments geared towards sportswear, activewear, and segments that demand high performance and well-being.

In addition to the performance benefits, the new fabric also meets a growing industry demand for more sustainable solutions. COOLMAX® EcoMade technology uses raw materials derived from textile waste, contributing to a more circular production chain aligned with circular economy practices. According to technical data, its application can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 25% when compared to alternatives produced with virgin raw materials.

The launch is the result of a union between Texneo’s expertise in developing innovative fabrics and The LYCRA Company’s knowledge of advanced technologies for the textile sector. This collaboration reinforces the companies’ commitment to developing materials capable of meeting current market demands, reconciling functional performance and environmental responsibility.

“Innovation is one of the pillars of The LYCRA Company, and the partnership with Texneo demonstrates how collaboration can accelerate the development of solutions for the market. The COOLMAX® EcoMade technology has evolved to incorporate raw materials from textile waste, expanding the possibilities for applying this technology. We believe that the union of expertise is fundamental to transforming innovation into products capable of meeting the constantly evolving demands of the industry,” says Marcos Rogério Martino, sales manager of The LYCRA Company.

For Texneo, Boost Coolmax® represents another step forward in its strategy of developing materials aligned with the transformations of the fashion industry and consumer expectations for increasingly functional and sustainable products.

“Boost Coolmax® perfectly embodies the direction we are pursuing for product development at Texneo: uniting technology, functionality, and sustainability in solutions that generate real value for brands and the end consumer. This partnership with The LYCRA Company strengthens our ability to deliver innovation with purpose, expanding creative possibilities for different segments of the fashion industry,” says Tamara Sbroglio, product development manager at Texneo.

With Boost Coolmax®, Texneo and The LYCRA Company reinforce how textile innovation, performance, and circularity can go hand in hand in developing materials prepared for the current and future challenges of the industry, contributing to a more technological, efficient, and sustainable fashion industry.
