2 DEVAN & TEXTILES THAT S CHEMISTRY For over 40 years... For over 40 years, Devan has made the difference with ecologically sustainable and highly technological solutions for textiles. Whether you want to improve your own fibres and yarns, or apply our technologies to your final product, we guarantee a perfect application at every step of your production process. Looking for improved performance, advanced thermoregulation, reliable protection or health & wellness benefits? technologies will provide the answer. And if they don t, we ll create one for you.

3 DEVAN S EXPERT ZONES Better hygiene & odour control Clothing textiles are prone to microbial growth due to the abundance of sweat and dead skin cells. This often results in bad odours. While insecticides and pesticides can easily kill microbes, they can also be harmful for people and the environment. Devan has the solution: BI-OME, our highly effective, nonharmful anti-microbial technology. BI-OME keeps your clothes fresh, hygienic and reduces the smell caused by microbes. PERFOR MANCE THERMO REGULA PERFOR MANCE HEALTH & WELL NESS PROTEC Environmental-proof approach BI-OME is a BPR covered and EPA registered solution that guarantees optimal freshness and hygiene for textiles. Devan yearly treats millions of pieces of clothing, socks, underwear for customers and retailers all over the world. Taking a different approach from other antimicrobials, BI-OME works in three steps: 1. First, the microorganisms are attracted by the fabric coating 2. Once in contact with the coating, the cell membrane is punctured 3. This deactivates the microorganism, preventing growth and proliferation Since BI-OME can easily be combined with other functionalities in our product range, we also offer: - BI-OME Quickdry (with moisture management) - BI-OME Stretch (with stretch recovery) - BI-OME AV (our new anti-viral solution) Comprehensive support technical staff and agents help install BI-OME processes in mills all over the world and provide the necessary logistics and training. As soon as production is up and running, our in-house labs make sure the product quality meets all required specifications. Marketing support? Count on us! We also help you introduce this technology to the market, offering inspiring, ready-to-use marketing tools. QUICKDRY STRETCH AV

4 THERMO REGULA R&D at your service The perfect climate for active people: cool, dry & breathable Running, cycling, skiing, yoga, golf and motor sports or a pleasant walk through nature. You name it, we have a solution for creating the perfect action climate. The fabrics we wear can make or break an activity. That s why at Devan, our engineers are constantly developing new thermoregulation technologies based on phase change materials (PCMs) or thermal conductivity. Smart cooling technology A revolutionary example is Tones of Cool. It s a smart, heatexchange technology we developed to create instant coolness where needed, while guaranteeing long-lasting comfort. Tones of Cool improves and accelerates thermal energy exchange between the body and the textile, where the redundant heat is then dissipated to instantly reduce the wearer s temperature. Tones of cool Untreated fabric thermal effusivity (J/(m 2 K s 1/2 ) up to +200% Protecting people & the environment In tents, sleeping bags or wherever apparel requires special attention to fire safety Devan offers state-of-the art textile treatments. Although flame retardants help save lives, some traditional chemistries can pose significant risks for human health or the environment, either from the retardant product or treated article or from smoke during a fire. Through heavy investment in R&D, Devan has created a complete range of more environmentally friendly products for textile applications. For instance, Eco-flam halogen-free flame retardants protect people and the environment from the hazards of both fire ignition and chemical substances. temperature 3-6 minutes PROTEC Keeping an eye on the future Devan heat exchange technologies such as Tones of Cool are the result of years of research in our laboratories in Belgium and Portugal. experts help you apply the technology to your production method to reach the desired result. Via zonal dot printing or an all-over application, Devan offers a wide range of options. Marketing support? Count on us! cool to touch Check out all our PCM thermoregulation technologies Traditional PCM treatments often have a negative impact on fabric softness and breathability, and are often unable to adapt to the body at different temperature levels. Devan s thermoregulation technologies keep fabric soft, dry and breathable, and instantly adapt to the body s needs. The Devan PCM s are unique in its kind: the patented reactive capsules attach to the fibre without the use of a binder. Untreated Treated start of fire flash over time But there s more. To make sure our technology fits your specific needs, we also provide tailor-made solutions, laboratory facilities, personal assistance at industrial trials, and fire safety & chemical regulation support. flame retardants are also suitable for textiles used in the home (window decoration) and can really make a difference in aviation, trains or buses, where we meet the most demanding FR standards : ABD EN45545/2 UNECE R118 annex 6&8. Devan collaborates with the biggest players taking major roles in fire safety. Sectors include: - mattress ticking - upholstery - wall coverings - curtains - carpets - workwear - nonwoven - automotive - transportation Keeping a close eye on new technologies, Devan always takes into consideration not only current but also future regulations on fire safety & chemicals. We also offer in-store communication materials to help you tell your story and sell. PCM melts absorbing heat energy from the environment PCM in liquid state Temperature drops PCM in solid state Temperature increases PCM solidifies releasing heat energy to the environment ECO-FLAM N-DURE QUICKDRY N-DURE At Devan, our thermoregulation solutions can be combined with the Bi-OME Quick dry treatments, offering the wearer the ideal comfort at different temperatures, adapting to the needs of the moment.

5 HEALTH & WELLNESS Technology + imagination Functionality locked into the fibre Devan engineers continually develop ground-breaking technologies. The use of extracts or probiotics in microcapsules is such a revolution. These capsules can contain active substances for skin hydration or anti-oxidants offering protection against free radicals, Projects like the wristbands treated with Devan Insecta capsules are life savers in the fight against malaria. With a little bit of imagination, anything is is a range of solid masterbatch additives that can give a wide range of fibres different functionalities. These include Soft Touch (100 series), flame retardant properties (200 series), surface modifiers (300 series), dyeable PP - tailor made (400 series), friction control (400 series), improved resilience (400 series) and antimicrobial (600 series). The functional masterbatches need to be added the extrusion process prior to the melting of the polymer by means of a dosing unit. products are available for different polymers, including PP, PA, PES or PTT. The functional masterbatches are easy to use and their consumption can easily be monitored during production. Applications: carpets, upholstery, nonwovens, fibre fillings, socks, monofilaments, etc. Co-creating unique advantages Compared to classic technologies that functionalise functional masterbatches offer numerous advantages: Revolutionary technological achievements require the highest level of technical support. Devan engineers work together with renowned universities and co-create with our customers to develop unique products that will make a difference for the future. - More flexibility in dosing level and usage - No additional water or energy required in the downstream production process - The functionality is locked into the fibre for higher resistance to washings - No adverse effects on fabric weight, softness or colour - Broad range of functionalities - Easy use and monitoring of consumption - Sustainable technology - No need of a finishing process - Improved production efficiency (non-quality reduction) From clinical trials, like the one in Tanzania for the NObug project sponsored by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to lab through to factory, Devan makes the technologies work!
