HEAT BECOMES A HEALTH RISK
PREPARE
FOR A
HEAT EMERGENCY
WITH E.COOLINE
To prevent heat from becoming a health risk, it is important to react quickly in the event of a heat emergency. We will show you how you can use the heat emergency kit to help quickly in acute situations and which climate adaptation strategy is the most effective for your health.
HEAT - THE HEALTH RISK
A heat emergency does not only affect vulnerable groups such as the elderly, pregnant women and children. More and more people are suffering from skin problems and are at risk from high temperatures. More than 3,000 heat deaths in Germany – this is the sad result reported by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for the summer of 2023. That’s more than twice as many heat deaths as traffic deaths.
Without suitable protective measures, heat-related deaths will continue to rise, according to experts.
Therefore, special attention must be paid to preventive heat protection measures during the hot season. However, should a heat emergency occur, it is important to act immediately, because if heat problems are not noticed and treated in time, this can mean death in the worst case.
SWEATING CAUSES
- Cardiovascular strain
- exhaustion syndromes
- Headache
- Heat collapse
- Shortness of breath/lung problems
- Kidney failure due to fluid loss
- Increase in premature births and miscarriages
- Accidents due to lack of concentration and performance
- Heat cramps
- Risk of heat stroke
WE NEED HEAT EMERGENCY MEASURES FROM 25°C!
Unfortunately, there is no medication and no vaccination against heat.
Previously it was assumed that a healthy person could not survive a temperature of 35 °C at 100% humidity (equivalent to 46 °C at 50% humidity) for much longer than 6 hours. Scientists at Pennsylvania University have now tested this assumption for the first time ever in a study and found that the temperature limits in young and healthy test subjects were only 30 – 31 °C (100% LF). Lower humidity did not lead to more heat tolerance either.
HEAT TOLERANCE DECREASES
Instead, the limit temperature was “only” 25 – 28 °C. For older people or those with pre-existing conditions, this is probably even lower, which is why more and more people are suffering from health problems at temperatures as low as 25 °C.
BE PREPARED FOR HEAT EMERGENCIES
QUICK ACTION IS
TOP MANDATORY
It is not always possible to provide preventative protection. Should a heat emergency occur, it is important to act immediately to avoid a disaster. If heatstroke is not noticed and counteracted in time, it can lead to a drop in blood pressure, circulatory collapse, shock and unconsciousness.
The collapse of the entire cardiovascular system means that the organs are no longer supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen, resulting in shortness of breath, fainting or seizures, for example. Without medical treatment, heat stroke can, in the worst case scenario, lead to death.
HEAT STROKE - > SYMPTOMS:
- High body temperature up to 40°C
- Hot, dry and red skin
- No sweating
- Rapid, strong pulse
Dizziness, headaches and vomiting - Muscle cramps
- Drowsiness and possibly Unconsciousness
Heat exhaustion ->Symptoms:
- High body temperature
- Cool, pale, moist skin
- Heavy sweating!
- Fast but weak pulse
- Dizziness, headaches and nausea
- Hot, dry and red skin
- Weakness, dizziness
THE HEAT EMERGENCY CASE HELPS TO SAVE LIVES
So to avoid catastrophe in the event of acute heat problems, quick action is the top priority. But how to react correctly under time pressure? What is the right first aid in a heat emergency? Where can you organize the necessary equipment – especially moderate cooling? Finally, ice and cool packs should be avoided in the event of a heat emergency.
In an acute situation, things often become hectic and confusing.
E.COOLINE’s unique heat emergency kit is the first effective first aid kit that combines all the necessary measures so that you can help on the spot without delay.
FASTEST POSSIBLE FIRST AID IN A HEAT EMERGENCY
WHY IS A HEAT EMERGENCY KIT
SO IMPORTANT?
Cooling in seconds, WHENEVER AND WHERE IT IS NEEDED
FIRST AID MEASURES WITHOUT LOSS OF TIME Can save lives
COMPLETE HEAT EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT BUNDLED IN A SINGLE CASE
APPROPRIATE FIRST CARE EVEN IN HECTIC SITUATIONS UNDER TIME PRESSURE
EQUIPMENT OF THE HEAT EMERGENCY CASE
- 1 x E.COOLINE cooling blanket
- Water to activate the cooling ceiling
- Paper towels for drying
E.COOLINE cooling blanket cools the heat emergency patient within seconds with 660 watts. The blanket is soaked with the included activation water and thus activated. Then dry the blanket with the paper towels by wrapping the soaked cooling blanket in the paper towels (see the enclosed activation instructions). The cooling blanket is immediately dry and ready for use.
- 1 pulse oximeter
- 2 forehead thermal scan strips
Use the pulse oximeter (not included in the basic version) and the forehead thermo-scan strip to check the vital signs: Put the pulse oximeter on one of the patient’s fingers – switch it on – measure the pulse rate. Report the measured values to the arriving emergency services. Hold the thermo-scan strip at both ends and press it firmly onto the forehead of the person in need of help. The temperature can be read after a few seconds.
-
- 2 drinking water bags each 100ml
- 1 leak-proof drinking cup with drinking aid
- 2 bags of electrolyte powder
If the person in need of help is responsive and is not vomiting, fluids should definitely be given if they have heat problems. To do this, fill a bag of electrolyte powder with a bag of drinking water into the drinking cup provided, put the lid on and carefully administer it to the patient.
- 2 respiratory towels
- 2 spit bags
- 2 x mouth guards
- 2 disinfectant wipes
Check the breathing of the person in need of assistance. If necessary, place a cloth over your mouth with the valve facing upwards and secure it with the elastic bands on the sides. Ventilate the person in need of help through the valve.
Depending on your needs and requirements, you can also use: spit bags, face masks, disposable gloves and disinfectant wipes.
COOLING IN A HEAT EMERGENCY IS THIS EASY
Pour water from the enclosed bottle over the E.COOLINE cooling towel in the empty half of the suitcase
Press the cooling cloth together tightly and dry all sides with the paper towels provided
Place a cooling towel over the upper body or in the head and neck area of the emergency patient.
HEAT PREVENTION IS BECOMING MORE IMPORTANT
RETHINKING
CLIMATE
ADAPTATION
Acute measures are important. To ensure that emergency situations and catastrophes do not arise in the heat, we must adapt better to the heat in the future. Structural measures or greenery will only help in the medium to long term.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS OR APPLIANCES ARE EXPENSIVE AND HEAT UP THE CLIMATE EVEN MORE DUE TO THEIR CO2 EMISSIONS.
There are no staff on hand to give tips such as drinking regimes and spraying elderly residents, nor can you spend hours or days in air-conditioned supermarkets or pharmacies. All known heat tips have so far failed to solve the problem, which is why we have developed simple heat emergency kits for everyone that
- cool effectively with up to 660 watts
- fit everyone
- suitable for every situation
- do not require staff
- are climate-neutral*
- save over 90% CO2 and energy

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
The Regional Council of Stuttgart has been using the E.COOLINE cooling vests and headgear in the area of highway maintenance services at several locations in Baden-Württemberg since 2019. Here, 180 employees have currently been equipped with the above-mentioned equipment. We at the Autobahnmeisterei Heidenheim are very satisfied with the use of the products to protect our employees from heat and can only recommend them to everyone.
They gave me back my quality of life. Being an MS sufferer, I'm sure you can imagine how much this product helps me. Immediately after activation, I was a different person. In an incredibly short time, I felt like I had a new battery in my body. You have helped me more with the vest than any doctor ever has in years.
I have had chronic tension headaches since early childhood. Accordingly, I have had a long ordeal and have been very critical. The result: I have much fewer pain attacks and feel much fitter, I am more efficient during the day and not so tired.
Here are my thoughts on the E.COOLINE products: These will be my most important products this summer. I would not like to do without it anymore! Effect and appearance - really cool. Finally be able to keep a cool head in the summer. This means you can get more exercise outdoors even in the heat.
WHAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT E.COOLINE
How does cooling clothing actually work? And why should I wear you? Here you will find the most important answers.
Through to the heat generated by our body, the water molecules bound to the fibers of the 3D-COOL material evaporate so effectively that a comfortable temperature of 16 – 20°C is created with a cooling capacity of up to 660 watts/liter.
As easy and quick as washing your hands, only activate E.COOLINE products! Save water and time:
- MOISTURIZE : Run water evenly over the “wadded” part of the product (approx. 3 sec. per side).
- EXPRESS : e.g. by rolling up the product (do not wring!)
- DRY OFF:Wrap E.COOLINE product in a towel (also paper towel) under light pressure and dry the outer fabric at the same time
- TIGHT & get COOL
The high-tech fleece COOLINE SX3 in E.COOLINE is a patented technology from Germany. It has the property of binding 10 times its weight in water inside the 3D material in seconds and storing it directly on the 3D fibers. This means you stay dry and, thanks to the enormous surface area, you receive more effective and stronger evaporative cooling than with other materials.
Activating it also works much faster. You save time and water because you can charge the products under the tap in seconds.
You also cool in a climate-neutral way because you don’t need any fossil fuels, just water and air.
The 3D structure makes the products wonderfully light and, in contrast to most cooling products, breathable, sweat-absorbing and hygienic.
The COOLINE SX3 material stores so much water that you can normally stay dry and cool throughout the day.
The products therefore cool as long as water is present in the material. But the “reactivation” also takes only seconds.
Due to the physical principle of evaporative cooling, E.COOLINE cools more at higher temperatures and less at lower temperatures.
This means: the hotter it is, the more evaporates and the stronger the cooling effect. Physically, this corresponds to the cooling effect of up to 660 watts.
The HOHENSTEIN textile institute has confirmed this cooling effect for E.COOLINE.
E.COOLINE is washable, unlike most other cooling textiles. Please wash your cooling clothes separately, at 30°C in wool or hand wash cycle. Please do not spin your garments or only spin them on the lowest spin cycle. Please make sure to use the right detergent.
Use simple or pH-neutral detergents without color or fiber protection so that your cooling garments retain their function and shape for a long time.
We recommend these detergents:
- DEOXX, EcoWash
- TOKO, EcoWash
- Denkmit, Fein- und Wollwaschlotion Ultra Sensitive
- Perwoll, Sport Aktiv Pflege
E.COOLINE stays hygienically clean – not only by hand wash or in the washing machine. Industrial washing for companies is also possible. Ask us.
All you need for cooling is water and air. Fossil fuels and environmentally harmful refrigerants are not used. Therefore the cooling is climate neutral.
