08:35		bad gateway: Missed the press conference. Decent piece on the website though and sounds quite a product for our new net zero world. CALL FOR EARLY ADOPTERS OF CELLULOSIC CLIMATE POSITIVE HEIQ AEONIQ YARN October 26, 2021 HeiQ announces a potential game-changer for the textile industry with the introduction of HeiQ AeoniQ – a high performance cellulose yarn based on a new fiber derived from carbon negative materials. This new fiber, which is derived from third generation cellulosic biopolymers, is advancing to pilot production prior to mass commercialization. The LYCRA Company is first to join HeiQ as a development partner. Whether it is cotton, wool or synthetic polymers, global textile production has a significant environmental impact with the industry responsible for more than 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and over 20% of wastewater worldwide1. Conventional cellulosic fiber production uses arable land during growth and has limited design versatility, while raw materials for fossil-based synthetic materials are finite. Existing methods to recycle textile fabrics and garments made with all fibers are, for the most part, still not at scale and most fibers – whether synthetic or natural – take many years to degrade in landfills or oceans, leading to environmental build up. HeiQ AeoniQ cellulosic yarn made of climate positive raw materials HeiQ AeoniQ yarns (Aeon: striving for eternal circularity) are made out of cellulosic biopolymers that during growth bind carbon from the atmosphere while generating oxygen. This high-performance yarn is positioned to potentially substitute synthetic filament yarns which constitute over 60% of global annual textile output of 108 million metric tons 2. Further, when compared to conventional cellulosic products, HeiQ AeoniQ yarns do not draw on arable land, pesticides or fertilizer in their production. HeiQ AeoniQ yarns are designed for cradle-to-cradle circularity and can be recycled repeatedly while maintaining consistent fiber quality. The manufacturing process is expected to consume 99% less water than cotton yarns and HeiQ AeoniQ is designed to offer comparable performance properties to polyester, nylon and conventional regenerated cellulose yarns. Inviting first adopters HeiQ’s leading industry experts stand ready to deliver the first HeiQ AeoniQ yarns from the pilot production plant in Q2 2022. Given the outstanding qualities, the unique decarbonizing potential offered and outstanding ESG3 credentials, HeiQ is inviting a maximum of 20 sustainability-driven brand partners to be the first to market with products made of this game-changing future yarn. The LYCRA Company as a primary development partner HeiQ announces that The LYCRA Company, with its renowned collection of brands, global retail customer network and fabric innovation capabilities, will be a primary apparel development partner for HeiQ AeoniQ yarns with an exclusivity for stretch and performance fabrics. The LYCRA Company has a complete range of certified, sustainable products and is continuously complementing this range via the development of new types of LYCRA® fiber. These fibers have the potential to be combined with HeiQ AeoniQ yarn to create unique decarbonizing and degradable elastic fabrics. HeiQ Group Co-founder and CEO, Carlo Centonze states:“Climate change needs new inventions. By bringing HeiQ AeoniQ yarn to the textile industry, we will reduce our dependence on oil-based fibers, help decarbonize our planet and reduce the impact of the industry on climate change. Our yarn is a versatile alternative to polyester, nylon, and even conventional cellulosics and therefore has huge industry transformation potential. By wearing clothes made of HeiQ AeoniQ consumers can act in support of reducing C02 in our atmosphere. Adoption by billions of people offers potential to bind hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. A battle worth the fight.” The LYCRA Company CEO Julien Born notes: “With our future company strategy centering on sustainable solutions for the textile industry, we are proud to partner with HeiQ in both the technical development and commercialization of this fiber. The industry is ready for innovations such as HeiQ AeoniQ, and by combining our capabilities with those of HeiQ, we are truly well positioned to learn quickly and maximize the huge potential of this new technology.” Mr. Martin Gebert-Germ, a viscose filament yarn expert with 30 years of experience in the textile industry, stated, “This technology is the game changer for the whole textile industry.” Mr. Gebert-Germ, will join the newly-established HeiQ GmbH Austria as CEO and will be leading the HeiQ AeoniQ business from November 2021.

ANNOUNCING HEIQ PRESS CONFERENCE ON OCTOBER 26: “ETERNAL CIRCULARITY – CLIMATE POSITIVE CELLULOSIC HEIQ AEONIQ YARN TO REPLACE POLYESTER” October 19, 2021 Polyester and other synthetic fibers post huge sustainability challenges as they are a main source for microplastic pollution, lack biodegradability and have limited recyclability. But the growing world population and its demand for clothing cannot be matched by conventional cellulose fibers without use of scarce resources such as arable land and water.

09:09		74tom: The problem I have with the current HEIQ valuation is that pre Covid they had a slow growth rate & were barely profitable. Viroblock sales gave 2021 profitability a one off boost which they took advantage of via an IPO in which shareholders sold some £40m of stock. Now we have a somewhat predictable flattening of revenue, increase in costs and lowering of gross margins and for the first time the share price is now lower than the 112p IPO. The question is what should HEIQ be valued at? I think this stock will be heavily sentiment driven, with successful innovations like Viroblock leading to lumpy revenue growth that will often be very difficult to predict. As confirmed in the investor meet company presentation this morning, the issues that caused the H1 miss are set to continue, with a 4th Covid wave in Asia a particular problem for them. I therefore expect HEIQ to fall below £1 over the coming weeks, likely coming to rest at somewhere near the £100m market cap level (77p). At this level I'd likely buy a starter position. I enjoyed listening to management answer investor questions, in particular when the CMO added additional colour around certain product launches & emphasised the question about why the share price had fallen so much, refreshing to hear compared to the wooden behaviour of some companies.

15:14		cottoner: HEIQ AND THE LYCRA COMPANY LAUNCH LYCRA® FRESHFX® BRAND WITH HEIQ TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CHINA MARKET September 22, 2021 WILMINGTON, Del.—September 22, 2021— Textile technology innovation leaders, HeiQ and The LYCRA Company, today announced they will be introducing LYCRA® freshFX® brand with HeiQ technology for the China market. “LYCRA® freshFX® brand with HeiQ technology is the first product resulting from a collaboration between The LYCRA Company and HeiQ that we announced in July,” said Steve Stewart, chief brand and innovation officer, The LYCRA Company. “The goal of this partnership is to combine our strengths to bring more market- relevant, innovative and sustainable textile technologies to consumers more quickly.” Garments made with LYCRA® freshFX® brand with HeiQ technology will offer consumers the renowned LYCRA® fiber benefits of lasting comfort, fit and shape, combined with HeiQ’s freshness and hygiene textile technologies.

09:04		cottoner: OUTDOOR RESEARCH LAUNCHES INSULATED RADIANTX GLOVES POWERED BY HEIQ XREFLEX TECHNOLOGY September 20, 2021 HeiQ XReflex technology for enhanced insulation with less bulk will make its first to market appearance in gloves from Outdoor Research. Zürich, Switzerland, 20 September 2021 – Outdoor Research, the Seattle-based leader in performance apparel and outdoor gear, launches its RadiantX Gloves and Mitts this fall, a new line of insulated handwear, making it the first brand to use revolutionary HeiQ XReflex Radiant Barrier Technology on gloves. The patented HeiQ XReflex Radiant Barrier technology was the finish of choice for the gloves and mitts as, unlike standard insulation systems, it provides enhanced warmth with less bulk and weight by reflecting radiant body heat to keep warmth in. The revolutionary technology utilizes ultra-thin surface coatings to reflect radiant body heat, improving thermal retention without reducing breathability. A perfect application of the technology is on gloves, where dexterity is crucial but can’t come at the expense of warmth. Pioneering New Technologies – Outdoor Research at the Forefront of Innovation Scheduled for launch in the USA, Canada and Internationally in Fall 2021, RadiantX Gloves and Mitts provide enhanced warmth when a slim profile is paramount to safety and agility. That means retaining function while handling cold objects like ice axes, pickets, and carabiners, and keeping fingers nimble and active with rope work, knots, rappelling and belaying. Four decades into glove and mitt manufacturing, Outdoor Research continues to strive for advancements in new technologies that change the way outdoor enthusiasts approach extreme environments. As the first company with HeiQ XReflex enhanced gloves, Outdoor Research found the perfect technology to address an age-old challenge: How to retain warmth in palms and fingers without sacrificing dexterity. “It was a no-brainer to partner with HeiQ on the HeiQ XReflex technology as it pairs both lightweight warmth and breathability — two qualities that you would want on any active cold weather glove” said Jenny Dashner, Outdoor Research Product Manager for Gloves. “The beauty of using it in the RadiantX glove is that we could place a thin, yet warm insulation in it without compromising the dexterity of the glove and mitt. Many ski and alpine athletes have told us that this is now their new favorite.” Carlo Centonze, Co-founder & CEO of HeiQ, said: “HeiQ XReflex is truly a revolutionary technology, especially for those who spend a lot of time in the outdoors, sometimes facing extreme weather conditions and cold. We couldn’t have found a better partner than Outdoor Research as the first company to implement this exceptional insulation for their high-performance gloves. Outdoor Research shares many philosophies with HeiQ so it’s not a surprise that many of their products are enhanced with HeiQ technologies. I wish all their mountaineering customers much success as they climb to new heights with warm and comfortable hands.” HeiQ XReflex Radiant Barrier Technology HeiQ XReflex, created by HeiQ’s joint-venture partner Xefco, is a patented radiant barrier technology that makes products thinner, lighter and warmer. HeiQ XReflex ultilizes an ultra-thin reflective surface coating that reflects energetic infrared body heat waves back to the body. The radiant barrier coating is applied to one side of the fabric via a high-tech vapor deposition process that doesn’t compromise the fabric’s air permeability, noise, touch, durable water repellence (DWR) or down proof properties. The radiant barrier textiles are combined together with optimized insulation materials to produce insulated assemblies with up to 50% less volume and weight while keeping the same level of warmth (measured in CLO). HeiQ XReflex is available on fabrics and non-woven scrims and lasts over 20 washes. Tom Hussey, CEO and Co-Founder, Xefco says: “We are so proud to see our technology used by Outdoor Research, their innovative mountaineering gloves are an ideal product for our ground-breaking radiant barrier technology. We wish their users a safe and satisfactory ascent.” hTtps://heiq.com/outdoor-research-launches-insulated-radiantx-gloves-powered-by-heiq-xreflex-technology/

10:42		earwacks: Not only that, some of the cheap brand face masks apparently are next to useless. Trouble is when the share price falls like this its hard to work out if the bigger trades are buys or sells. Initially it looked like share price was falling on small sells but more than normal UT trades too. I think will just have to weather this storm as not bing anything specific, but random trigger of analogue trading. June 9, 2021 KARMAN, a French supplier of healthcare and hygiene products, has joined forces with HeiQ, to launch the KARMAN ACTIV’PROTECT mask. This disposable Type IIR mask uses HeiQ’s patented HeiQ Viroblock textile technology. This technology gives the textiles of the KARMAN ACTIV’ PROTECT masks safe and permanent antimicrobial and antiviral properties, especially against SARS-CoV-2. June 22: LIFE’s 40+ products strengthen HeiQ’s global product offering and will facilitate HeiQ’s existing technology platforms into new markets, especially masterbatches, plastics and coatings. Leading manufacturers and brands, such as DuPont, American Standard, Igloo Products, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, and Columbia Sportswear use LIFE’s antimicrobial additives. Through LIFE, HeiQ will also have access to hygiene technologies, such as odor absorbent additives, that complement HeiQ’s core antimicrobial technology. With the acquisition, HeiQ will now have additional offices and laboratories in Thailand and Brazil.

These recent agreements relating to HeiQ Viroblock being adopted by businesses outside of the textile industry also highlight that our award-winning innovation has entered a new phase in its lifecycle and that the brand equity we have built as an innovation leader is delivering meaningful returns. Subject to a successful trial period, we believe that this royalty arrangement has the potential to deliver strong, high margin sales for HeiQ and to strengthen our brand equity significantly, through uptake by ICP's blue chip client base." ICP Industrial's Division President Paul Grzebielucha said: "We are excited to offer this new innovative life-saving technology to the print world. We have global reach under our brands of Nicoat, MinusNine and Hitech Coatings to provide this protection on billions of printed surfaces per year. This HeiQ Viroblock game changing technology for our industry and society has proven to be a superior solution that is currently available in the marketplace. HeiQ products have proven efficacy in terms of destroying infectious viruses in minutes rather than hours with an effective rate of 99.95%. ICP Industrial has always provided innovative solutions to the graphic arts and packaging segments while maintaining the highest level of customer and technical service in the industry. ICP Industrial is very excited about the partnership with HeiQ bringing this technology to market pro

14:13		argy4: MASSIVE POTENTIAL: HeiQ Plc Concludes acquisition of majority stake in Spanish medical device manufacturer HeiQ Plc (LSE:HEIQ), an established global brand in materials and textile innovation which operates in high-growth markets, is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in a leading Spanish mask manufacturer, MasFabEs, further to entering into a joint venture outlined in the Company's Prospectus. The manufacturer has been renamed HeiQ Medica S.L. and will manufacture medical devices with HeiQ's cutting-edge textile technologies. MasFabEs has already been producing OTC (over the counter) medical device Type IIR surgical masks (certified for use in a close clinical environments), enhanced with HeiQ Viroblock technology, since the beginning of the pandemic. To date, over 1 billion community face coverings as well as medical masks enhanced with HeiQ Viroblock technology have been sold and the technology is already being used by more than 150 major mask brands such as Burberry. The Company continues to experience strong demand for surgical masks which benefit from the extra protection provided by its Swiss Technology Award-winning HeiQ Viroblock technology. With a maximum production capacity of 15 million masks per month, enough to cover the needs of entire Switzerland with two masks a day, this acquisition will provide HeiQ with more control over the manufacture of its products. It will also provide the Company with an ideal base from which to establish an R&D hub for medical devices in Europe. Bulk order supply will be prioritised for institutions in the medical and healthcare sectors, such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and care homes. The masks will also be available on HeiQ's direct to consumer webshop. HeiQ co-founder and CEO Carlo Centonze said: "As a leading, profitable player in the $10 billion antimicrobial market, this manufacturing capability will ensure that we are well positioned to meet the strong on-going demand that we are experiencing for our products. The acquisition is in line with our stated strategy to deliver shareholder value by building on the significant momentum achieved by HeiQ Viroblock while also growing other innovations within our core product portfolio. The pandemic has changed our behaviour for good. Following the SARS epidemic in Asia in 2003, all medical and healthcare workers now use face masks daily in this region and we are confident that this practice will continue worldwide even when the Covid-19 pandemic is under control. "The third pillar of our growth strategy is focused on launching new high margin innovations which serve high growth markets. We are working on a range of exciting technologies, including a new antimicrobial technology with our long standing Australian partner Xefco, as well as our graphene membrane innovation. We look forward to sharing news of a number of exciting advancements ongoing within our R&D pipeline in the coming months." Pedro Herranz, Co-founder and General Manager of MasFabEs, said: "As a company that was founded expressly to provide "made in Spain" products, hence the name MasFabEs (Mascarillas de Fabricación Española), we were already producing HeiQ Viroblock powered masks and enjoyed an excellent relationship with HeiQ. Their majority participation, distribution reach and their plans for applying their materials innovations to medical devices were received with open arms and we are excited about future developments."
