Technology
Engineered at the particle level.
ICP is a sprayable elastomeric coating — applied directly to the fabric — that re-engineers how a textile interacts with heat, light and time.
Low Conductivity
Hollow ceramic microspheres dispersed in an acrylic elastomer matrix yield k ≈ 0.05 W/m·K — orders of magnitude below standard tactical fabrics.
Radiative Cooling
High infrared emissivity (ε ≈ 0.88) actively dumps heat to the sky while a pristine-white film reflects incoming solar radiation.
Elastomeric Adhesion
The water-based binder remains flexible across temperature cycles, conforming to fabric movement without cracking or delamination.
Field Durability
UV-stable chemistry with weathering resistance designed for prolonged outdoor exposure — protecting the substrate as well as the occupants.
Field Results
Inside-tent temperature vs ambient.
ICP-coated structures remained cooler than ambient temperature for over 68% of the test cycle. Standard tents stayed hotter than outside air for up to 7.5 hours.
| Time of Day | Standard Tent Δ°C | Evolved. Coating Δ°C |
|---|---|---|
| Morning | +1.5 | +1.0 |
| Midday | +4.2 | −7.5 |
| Evening | +0.5 | −1.0 |
| Night | 0.0 | −3.0 |
Δ°C = internal temperature delta vs outside ambient. Negative values indicate interior cooler than ambient.
