LunaMicro AB, a deep tech start-up specialising in smart textiles, has entered into a cooperation agreement with TST-Sweden, the world-leading developer of protective clothing and equipment.
LunaMicro and TST-Sweden will, together, develop, test, and eventually launch a state-of-the-art protective garment for high-pressure cleaning with the next generation of LunaMicro’s active moisture management. LunaMicro’s patented product is a soft flexible fabric pump which moves liquid water from one side of the fabric to the other when connected to a small battery. A strategically-placed A4-sized "patch" of active pumping textile is all that’s necessary to keep the wearer dry. LunaMicro's textile pump will be integrated in a jacket in TST-Sweden ́s line of clothing for high pressure cleaning and hydraulic fluid protection, ProOperator.
– The collaboration with TST confirms the demand for new innovative solutions for moisture management in the market. We are very happy for the opportunity to work with such a strong brand in a product with technically challenging performance requirements, says Nate Robinson, CEO and founder of LunaMicro.
– What distinguishes TST is our culture of continuous innovation. We see the collaboration with LunaMicro as an opportunity to further develop our offering by combining the two companies ́ innovative products, says Catrin Tammjärv, Research & Development TST

Our product is a textile that pumps water from the inside to the outside of the textile with power from a small battery, allowing the user to stay warm, comfortable and safe.
