When the weather gets hot, consumers all turn their attention to products that can automatically cool down. Whether it is the clothes they wear, the quilts they cover at home, or the mats they sleep on, it is best to have a cool feeling. It is precisely because of these consumer needs that a variety of “ice silk” series fabrics have appeared on the Internet, such as high-elastic ice silk fabrics, ice silk linen chiffon fabrics, elastic ice silk quick-drying fabrics, etc., and the sales are very impressive!
Then many people will wonder what “ice silk” fabrics are? What fabrics can produce a cool feeling? How should ordinary consumers like us choose? Today I will take you to find out
“Ice silk” is not a fabric component, but a product that merchants use to promote fabrics or clothing. A product name derived from the decoration, its materials may include polyester fiber, viscose fiber, spandex, nylon, modal, cotton blend, etc. It can also be collectively referred to as modified poly-viscose fiber. Most of the “ice silk” products on the market appear in the form of filament textiles, so they feel soft, smooth and easy to slide.
Reasons for the cool feeling of fabrics
Although there is no “ice silk” fabric, there are still fabrics that feel cool when worn, such as nylon fiber and regenerated cellulose fiber (viscose, modal ). Clothes and bedding made of them will feel very cool when used. What is the reason?
1. High thermal conductivity
The main reason why nylon fiber produces a cool feeling is that it has a high thermal conductivity, which can transfer heat away from the human skin faster, making people Feel cool. For example, when we touch a towel and an iron block at the same room temperature, we feel that the iron block is cooler. This is because the thermal conductivity of iron is higher than that of a towel.
2. Good moisture absorption and breath ability
The thermal conductivity of regenerated cellulose fiber is not as high as nylon, but its moisture absorption and breath-ability are superior, better than pure cotton. When the human body sweats due to hot weather, the good moisture absorption of regenerated cellulose fiber quickly absorbs the sweat produced by the human body and conducts it to the outer layer of the clothing, thereby taking away the heat and providing a cool feeling. Its excellent breath ability helps reduce sweat retention on the skin and keeps it dry and comfortable.
3. Add cool silicone oil
Cool silicone oil is a product of the past two years based on A new softener product developed to meet market demand. It mainly uses the high thermal conductivity of silicone oil to transfer heat, so as to bring coolness to people. Clothes with added cool silicone oil are not only cool, but also have excellent drape and smoothness. The fabric feels as smooth as baby’s skin.
However, the wash ability of cool silicone oil is poor. It will gradually lose its effect as the number of washings increases. Moreover, long-term use of such products may cause a series of skin problems, such as clogged pores and skin allergies.
So if we ordinary consumers want to wear cool clothes in summer, it is better to choose materials such as nylon and regenerated cellulose fiber for cool quilts.
