Embedded Multifunctional Technologies
Performance For Life
Embedded multifunctional technologies are designed with the intention to deliver multiple performance benefits through a single, integrated solution. Rather than applying separate finishes for each performance feature, these technologies are engineered to be an all-in-one platform. The result is reliable, long-lasting performance that is inherently built into the fabric.
At AGS, embedded multifunctional technologies are developed with durability, simplicity, and real-world use in mind. By embedding multiple performance attributes into one system, mills and brands can achieve consistent functionality without added processing complexity.
The Differentiation Factor
During fiber production, the multifunctional technology is introduced during the masterbatch stage, where they are uniformly dispersed within the polymer. The technology is specifically engineered to withstand the high temperatures and shear forces of extrusion without degradation or loss of functionality. Once extruded, the fiber should effectively contain the embedded technology. Because the technology is intrinsic to the fiber, downstream textile processes such as: spinning, knitting, weaving, dyeing, and finishing; do not compromise the technology’s performance.
The Added Value
Embedded multifunctional technologies address the limitations of finishing by designing performance into the fiber from the start. By eliminating reliance on surface treatments, brands and manufacturers can deliver consistent, long-term performance while reducing the need for additional chemical finishes, reapplications, or complex finishing sequences. This approach aligns with growing industry priorities around durability, reliability, and responsible design, where long-lasting performance is a core pillar of sustainability.
Available Technologies
i2Cool
Yarn-embedded technology that provides cooling, uv protection, wicking, drying, and odor control for the life of the garment.
The AGS Advantage
Embedded multifunctional technologies deliver a combination of performance longevity, process efficiency, and product integrity that is difficult to achieve otherwise. Our view regarding embedded multifunctional technologies at AGS is that it is a critical alternative pathway for textile performance and it is one that prioritizes durability over disposability and design intelligence over short-term solutions. By integrating multiple performance attributes directly into the fiber, these technologies enable apparel and textile products that perform reliably, age gracefully, and can surpass the expectations of both the market and the consumer.
