¿Cómo logran las telas de enfriamiento su efecto de enfriamiento?

The key to cool fabrics lies in selecting fibers with high thermal conductivity and quick-drying properties. These fibers quickly absorb body heat and promote the evaporation of sweat, resulting in a cooling sensation. Common cooling fibers include:

Bamboo Fiber

Bamboo fiber is an ideal choice for cooling fabrics due to its unique natural structure. Su interior hueco poroso le permite absorber rápidamente el sudor y difundirlo hacia afuera a través de la acción capilar de la fibra, acelerando la evaporación y la disipación de calor.

La fibra de bambú contiene bambúoquinona, un componente antibacteriano natural que inhibe el crecimiento bacteriano y reduce el olor causado por la acumulación de sudor, lo que lo hace adecuado para la ropa deportiva. Its irregular natural pores enhance breathability, effectively reducing stuffiness and ensuring long-lasting dryness.

Flax Fiber

Flax fiber has excellent moisture absorption and heat dissipation properties, making it a prominent material for summer wear. Its moisture absorption capacity is 20%-30% higher than cotton, while also releasing moisture quickly. This unique “breathing” property makes flax an ideal choice for hot climates.

Las fibras de lino también tienen una superficie naturalmente lisa que se siente ligeramente fría al tacto, mejorando la sensación de enfriamiento natural sin tratamientos químicos.

Viscose, Modal, and Lyocell

Viscose fibers are known for strong moisture absorption, though they lose strength when wet. Therefore, viscose is often blended with synthetic fibers to improve durability. Manufactured from natural cellulose, viscose retains comfort while providing versatility.

Modal and Lyocell (Tencel) are upgraded versions. Modal offers a silky texture, making it ideal for intimate wear. Lyocell, made with eco-friendly processes, delivers higher fiber strength and excellent moisture regulation, making it a high-end option for cool fabrics .

Coolmax® Polyester Fiber

Coolmax® es un poliéster especialmente diseñado con una sección transversal en forma de cruz o en forma de Y que aumenta el área de superficie y crea más canales de transferencia de sudor. Through the capillary effect, it quickly wicks sweat away from the skin to the outer layer for rapid evaporation.

Las versiones modificadas agregan aditivos minerales de enfriamiento como mica y polvo de jade, mejorando la conductividad térmica y creando un efecto de enfriamiento inmediato. Microporous structures in the fibers further improve breathability, allowing synthetic fabrics to compete with natural ones in comfort.

Blended Fabrics with Spandex and Nylon

The addition of spandex and nylon improves elasticity and durability. Spandex ensures stretch recovery, while nylon provides abrasion resistance and strength. By reducing the air gap between the fabric and skin, these blends enhance heat transfer and indirectly improve the cooling effect.

Ampliamente utilizado en ropa deportiva, como medias y ropa de yoga, estas telas a menudo integran paneles de malla en áreas clave para maximizar la transpirabilidad, haciéndolos confiables cool fabrics for performance wear.
