The Technology Behind the New Cooling Fabrics from KewlFabric Solutions

We previously talked about all of the new and kewl features of some of our new moisture wicking fabrics and evaporative cooling fabrics, but we should better explain exactly what makes them so innovative and kewl.

At its fundamental level, the double yarn cooling fabric technology allows you to select two different filament types to create two unique yarns that are then knitted or woven together.  With different cross sections that alter the rate of hydrophilic power within the yarns, you create a fabric that allows you to control water absorption and evaporation.  When combined with KewlFabric 7101, providing a continuous source of water, you can create a fabric that generates a more intense and longer lasting cooling effect as the wicking yarns pull water from KewlFabric 7101, and the evaporative yarns pull water from the wicking yarns and quickly evaporate it.

For example, at the more complex end of the options, you can select a cross shaped polyester filament as the underneath yarn, and a non-spherical other than cross shaped polyester filament to make up the surface yarn of the fabric.  After selecting the weight and pattern of the final fabric, you have created a fabric that sucks up water/sweat (the polyester yarn), and controls the evaporation of the water/sweat through the different filaments that make up the two different polyester yarns.

This double yarn cooling fabric technology maximizes your final cooling fabric options with

    • Weight

    • Pattern

    • Yarn selection (polyester etc.)

    • Filament shape of yarn (circular, cross, y-shaped etc.)

    • Tightness of knitting or weave (to help with UPF rating without treatments)

I hope that this helps clarify the uniqueness of the fabric technology we are offering and why when combined with KewlFabric 7101 you can get a powerhouse cooling effect.
