Hyosung develops innovative “cooling” fabric
22/02/2013
Garments made from Aqua X will feel cool to the touch, a particularly welcome property in warmer climes or after exercise.
It is a nylon with a high percentage of titanium dioxide (the chemical that controls lustre) and which has been engineered so the cross-section of the fibres are flat, which provides a large contact area, dispersing heat across the surface.
The company expects cooling fabrics and technology to be one of the biggest textile stories for 2013.
