U.K. company Heat Stress Global (HSG) has partnered with Technical Absorbents (TAL) to support its global evolution of heat stress mitigation solutions.

TAL’s Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF) technology has been the key component in HSG’s Hyperkewl Plus evaporative cooling products. Now collaboration will see exclusive SAF materials integrated across its latest ActiKewl range, as the company endeavors to provide a step-change in cooling performance, durability and water retention for people working and playing in extreme heat environments worldwide.

The next generation of ActiKewl evaporative cooling products will set a new global benchmark in heat stress mitigation, supporting workforces and teams across construction, utilities, oil & gas, logistics, sports and major infrastructure projects in high-temperature regions. With rising global temperatures and increasing regulatory focus on worker welfare, the partnership strengthens HSG’s ability to deliver scalable, evidence-led cooling solutions for employers operating in the world’s most demanding climates.

“SAFhas been used within evaporative cooling for a number of years,” says TAL’s commercial director Paul Rushton. “Firstly, an airlaid solution and then with our specialist washable fabric range.”

“Our fiber’s ability to absorb large volumes of water and slowly dry as evaporation occurs, is what provides a lasting cooling effect. Working closely with HSG will allow to further engineer our technology so that it continues to achieve optimum evaporative cooling performance.”

“By combining our applied cooling expertise with TALs’ world-leading SAF technology, we are creating a platform that clearly differentiates HSG in the global cooling workwear and PPE market,” comments HSG CEO Will Tyler. “This partnership accelerates our ability to scale across high-growth regions, where effective heat stress mitigation is critical to worker safety and productivity.”
