Climate-tech firm Eztia Materials says it has developed gel-based cooling clothing designed to help people manage heat stress in Singapore’s humid conditions. The approach uses water-based gel beads printed on the underside of garments. According to the company, the material absorbs heat from the skin and can potentially lower skin temperature by as much as 9°C. The cooling wear is presented as a technology that may offer relief for workers exposed to high temperatures and humidity.
Eztia Materials’ solution is showcased at a Building and Construction Authority (BCA) technology exchange event held on May 22. The event brings together government agencies, construction firms and technology companies to explore innovations aimed at protecting workers from rising heat. While the outlets describe the potential temperature reduction and the gel-printing method, they do not provide detailed results from large-scale trials or peer-reviewed effectiveness data. Overall, the reporting focuses on the concept, the stated performance target, and the context of its introduction through a government-industry technology forum.
