Artilect Systems now incorporates Trizar into the lining of many of its winter apparel items. (Image:

can find Trizar materials in FORLOH
hunting gear, Artilect Studio ski jackets
and pants, KJUS jacket liners, Ergonomix
apparel for hot and cold weather,
Levi's jeans sold in East Asia, and New
Balance's basketball and professional lacrosse
uniforms.
The company makes its emissive material
concentrates in the United States
before shipping them to textile mills
around the world.
Trizar was growing at about 20 percent
annually until the pandemic hit, and the
pace has picked up to 30-40 percent annual
growth since the return to a relative
normal, Poorman said. And during
the pandemic, Trizar was incorporated
into high-end facemasks that sold over
100,000 units.
Poorman said Trizar's popularity with
consumers has helped it find new brands
and markets. But its origins in the space
program also don't hurt, he said, noting
that customers know space travel
requires extreme temperature management.
" Nowadays, everyone's into
NASA, " he added.
