It was invented in 1986 by DuPont and Interiors (now Invista). These fabrics use specially-engineered polyester fibers to improve the ability of breath compared to natural fibres like cotton. Coolmax fabric is the performance fabric that includes an effective fiber-based moisture management system. The system can move perspiration away from the body, and through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing the wearer to feel cooler and more comfortable. Or say, this kind material can draw moisture away from the skin through capillary action and increased evaporation over a wider surface area.
Coolmax fibres are not round. They are slightly oblong in cross-section with grooves running lengthwise along the threads. They are manufactured in either a tetrachannel or hexachannel style. The series of closely spaced channels creates capillary action that wicks moisture through the core and out to a wider area on the surface of the fabric which increases evaporation.
Coolmax fabric was originally developed for clothing intended for use during extreme physical exertion ¡ª sweat can evaporate quickly so the wearer is kept dry. Other useful properties include resistance to fading, shrinking and wrinkling. The fibres are now often woven with other materials like cotton, wool, Spandex and Tencel. As a result, Coolmax is found in a wide variety of garments from mountain climbing gear, to casual sportswear and underwear.
There is no need to doubt that coolmax can be used in socks. Our company JiYang industrial Co.,LTD, a professional manufacturer for socks, has been engaged in the production of socks for several years. Our productions, like some kinds of cycling socks and running socks, also contain coolmax. Those socks feel great comfortable and help to create the microclimate.
KEEP YOUR COOL, MAX YOUR PERFORMANCE
