WATERFORD, NY, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Soft-Tex International, a leading supplier of bedding and home comfort products, is pleased to announce it has entered a joint venture with Radiant Thermodynamics Inc. (RTI), to form REACTEX Technology Group, a company created to be the leader in personal climate control technologies.

The company features an array of technologies to offer all day & night cooling with patent-pending processes developed by inventor Mark Smiderle.

“I’ve seen countless cooling and climate control technologies and what REACTEX™ can offer is by far the most advanced I’ve seen," Jeff Chilton CEO Soft-Tex International

Post this

Under the umbrella name of REACTEX™, the technologies describe an additive technology formulated to control heat energy flow and storage to create a customer's unique ideal personal climate. Functioning like a battery, REACTEX™ technologies can store and release heat to provide overnight cooling or heating through pressure activation. The technology is self-recharging when not in use.

REACTEX™ technologies have wide-reaching applications across many consumer products and deliver rechargeable temperature control and personalized comfort, leveraging pressure activation with proprietary processes and construction.

"I'm excited to partner with Soft-Tex International in providing a climate control technology system that goes lightyears beyond other offerings currently in the marketplace employing different applications of phase change material (PCM)," said Mark Smiderle, Inventor & Principal of Radiant Thermodynamics, Inc.

The agreement signed earlier this month establishes Soft-Tex's Chief Executive, Jeff Chilton, as the CEO of REACTEX Technology Group and wider Executive Team as follows:

  • Mark Smiderle, Chief Technology Officer
  • Chris Marsh, Chief Marketing Officer
  • Scott Thayer, Vice President of Business Development
  • Erik Sanchez, Vice President of Product Development
  • Tom Gibbs, Controller

"I've seen countless cooling and climate control technologies and what REACTEX™ can offer is by far the most advanced I've seen. I'm excited to serve as CEO of both Soft-Tex and REACTEX Technology Group bringing REACTEX™ to the forefront of what Soft-Tex offers in advanced bedding products and to countless other applications," said Jeff Chilton, Chief Executive Officer of Soft-Tex and REACTEX Technology Group.

The first generation of REACTEX™ infused products will include top of bed textiles including: pillows, mattress toppers, mattress protectors, and mattress pads. All introductions will be formally unveiled in Soft-Tex's 230 Fifth Avenue Showroom during New York Home Fashions Market March 18 through 21.
