At Incrediwear Equine, we often get asked about the unique cooling mechanism that our products provide for horses. We understand that the term “iceless cooling” can seem a bit mysterious, so we’re here to explain it to you. Our innovative cooling technology offers therapeutic benefits without the discomfort and risks associated with traditional ice therapy. So let’s dive into how our products provide this refreshing and gentle cooling effect.
You may already know how Incrediwear Equine technology works. When dry Incrediwear Equine products are applied to the horse’s body, the semiconductors in the products are activated by body heat and in turn emit infrared waves and create negative ions that increase blood flow and improve lymphatic drainage, providing a range of benefits. However, the secret to Incrediwear Equine’s intense cooling is water. When our products get wet, the water triggers a process involving the semiconductors germanium and carbon, which play a key role in our cooling effect.
When water interacts with the semiconductors in the fabric, an endothermic reaction occurs, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment - in this case, from the body through the skin. Unlike traditional ice packs that apply cold from the outside, our technology actively draws heat away from the body, creating a cooling effect from the inside. This active cooling process works dynamically and effectively draws heat away from the body, unlike passive methods such as evaporation or ice packs that rely on external cooling agents. This results in a more gradual and sustained cooling, rather than the sharp and sudden drops in temperature that are typical of conventional ice therapy. Unlike ice packs, which can cause ice burns, nerve damage or frostbite if left on the skin for too long, our gentle yet effective cooling method is safe and ideal for reducing inflammation, providing continuous cooling to help your horse recover faster and more effectively.
Another common question we get is why the fabric feels warm to the touch while the skin underneath remains cool. The cooling effect of Incrediwear Equine is the ingenious result of the interaction between water and semiconducting materials in the fabric. These materials increase thermal conductivity and allow for efficient heat transfer from the skin to the fabric through an endothermic reaction. The result is a cool sensation on the skin, while the fabric itself can be warm as it absorbs and dissipates heat.
Whether your horse is cooling down after exercise, dealing with an injury, needing to relieve fatigue or simply cool down comfortably, Incrediwear’s “iceless cooling” technology offers a revolutionary solution. Our products provide sustained, gentle cooling that reduces inflammation and promotes recovery without the harsh effects of direct ice application. Experience the benefits of our cutting-edge cooling technology and discover a new, more comfortable way to cool and recover.
