Devan unveils innovative textile solutions to enhance comfort during sleep at Heimtextil 2026

From 13 to 16 January 2026, Devan was exhibiting at Heimtextil in Frankfurt, the world’s leading international trade fair for home and contract textiles. The event brought together key players from across the global textile value chain, providing the ideal platform for Devan to present its latest innovations.


At Heimtextil, Devan showcased a range of new textile solutions, meeting the growing demand for products that contribute to better sleep quality and overall well-being.

Devan Comfort: Patented Polymer Technology for thermal comfort all night long

A key highlight at Devan’s booth was Devan Comfort, Devan Chemicals’ patented polymer technology. Engineered for optimal sleep, Devan Comfort actively cools and manages moisture, ensuring a balanced and comfortable sleep environment. Unlike standard fabrics that trap heat and humidity, often leading to restless nights, Devan Comfort regulates temperature and moisture to create a consistently restful experience.

Well-being technology: boost textiles with a recovery solution and support emotional balance

Devan has expanded its Devan Revital line with two innovative new active ingredients:

  • Recovera: A synergistic blend designed to soothe, revitalize and support the body’s natural recovery processes.
  • Mood Boost: Transforms everyday fabrics into gentle, mood-enhancing companions, promoting relaxation and better sleep throughout daily life.

Both ingredients leverage Devan’s patented micro-encapsulation technology, clinically tested with multiple bioactives and textiles, demonstrating effective delivery through skin contact and/or olfactive inhalation, with controlled capsule release ensuring sustained bioactive performance over time.

95% biobased flame retardant

Devan is proud to introduce Devan Bioflam, a 95% biobased flame retardant. Made entirely from renewable resources, Bioflam delivers efficient flame retardant protection without halogens (Br, Cl), heavy metals or antimony. This flame retardant is not only highly effective but also preserves the natural handle and feel of the fabric.

Cool comfort technology: Instant cool touch with thermoregulation for foam

Besides that, Devan Introduced Devan Cool TOC HC 404, an advanced, patented cooling technology specifically designed for foam applications. The innovative technology helps textiles actively dissipate excess body heat, providing an instant cooling sensation while supporting long-lasting thermal balance. By keeping the body in its optimal comfort zone, TOC HC 404 enhances overall comfort and well-being, making it ideal for applications where temperature regulation is key.

100% Plant based moisture management

Last but not least, Devan has developed a readily biodegradable moisture management technology, Devan Quickdry - Devatec Wik Bio, based on renewable plant-based raw materials. The bio content is 100%.

Commenting on the innovations showcased at Heimtextil, Devan’s CTO, Dr. Roberto Teixeira, said: "Our goal is to combine science and comfort in ways that genuinely improve everyday life. From active cooling to well-being-enhancing textiles, each innovation we present is designed to help people sleep better, feel better and enjoy fabrics that work as hard as they do. Heimtextil gives us the perfect stage to share these solutions with the global textile community."

Devan’s presence at Heimtextil 2026 reaffirmed its commitment to innovation in functional and comfort-enhancing textile finishes, and its role as a trusted partner for the global home textile industry.
