The marketing assistance agreement was executed this spring. Kraton is a leader in specialty polymers designed to enhance the performance and appeal of a wide variety of products for everyday use.

Advanced and unique

In specific applications, Kraton’s NEXAR Polymers are said to provide an enhanced and sustained cooling effect as long as moisture vapour is present. The product produces temperature reduction greater than 2° F on most fabrics and is also said to provide overall improved comfort.

According to the manufacturer, other benefits of NEXAR include moisture activated cooling technology; easily applied to many fabrics; demonstrated durability to repeated home laundering cycles; and smart technology.

“Customers demand performance, and by entering into this agreement with Kraton, Springs Creative will be able to help Kraton expand its market penetration with one of the most advanced and unique cooling technologies on the market,” said Kim Hall, VP of Sales, Springs Creative Specialty Products Group. “We are really excited about this relationship with Kraton and the opportunities it presents for both Kraton and Springs.”
