The Gentoo Textile Heater Webinar with LOOMIA & AFFOA
On January 28, LOOMIA and the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) introduced the Gentoo Heater, a breakthrough in textile heating technology. Engineered for extreme environments, it has been tested to withstand temperatures as low as -60°C, ensuring reliability in the harshest conditions.
In February, AFFOA and ?LOOMIA organized a webinar where Loomia’s CEO, Madison Maxey, explained the advanced technology behind the Gentoo Flexible Heater. Here are the key topics from the webinar:?
? The Technology Behind the Gentoo Textile Heater – Features & benefits that set it apart.
? Extreme Cold Testing (-60°C) – Thermal chamber results & key insights.
? Real-World Applications – Heated clothing for wearables & therapeutic medical devices.
