Passive Cooling Fiber

Passive Cooling Fiber

The Passive Cooling Fiber from Shanghai Different Advanced Material Co., Ltd. is a Cooling Polyester Fiber engineered for hot-weather fabrics. As a high-performance Cooling Fiber for Textile applications, the staple is melt-spun from polyester chips that carry micro-nano optical additives, and the finished Cooling Fiber cools by physics rather than power. Two channels work together. Across the 0.3 to 2.5 micron solar band the fiber scatters sunlight back, so less heat enters the garment. Across the 8 to 13 micron atmospheric window the fabric emits strongly, letting body heat radiate through the sky into cold outer space. No electricity, no coating, no phase-change capsule. In wear trials the fabric holds skin about 3 to 5 C cooler than plain cotton cover, and the UV protection factor passes 2000. The fiber stays soft, breathable, and washable, with spinnability close to standard polyester.

Cooling Polyester Fiber
Advanced Cooling & UV Protection for Next-Generation Textiles

Engineered with integrated optical functional components, our cooling polyester fiber helps reflect solar heat and enhance radiative cooling while providing UV protection.

Customizable cross-sections and dope-dyed colors support versatile textile applications with durable functional performance.

 

 Product Overview

 

This Cooling Polyester Fiber is produced by standard polyester melt spinning, with customizable fiber specifications to meet diverse downstream textile processes and end- product requirements. Its physical and mechanical properties are optimized for textile spinning, featuring stable dry breaking strength and moderate elongation, ensuring good spinnability for knitted and woven fabrics of different densities and textures. Core micro-nano optical functional components are homogeneously dispersed in the fiber matrix via melt compounding. This avoids functional decay caused by post-coating finishing and guarantees long-term stable cooling and anti-UV performance. Fiber cross-sections can be flexibly customized into round, Y-shaped, cruciform and other profiles as required. Different cross-section geometries, combined with yarn twisting parameters, adjust the optical stacking effect of finished fabrics and further optimize solar heat reflection and infrared radiative cooling efficiency. Natural white is the standard color, while customized dope-dyed variants are available to support diversified product designs. The fiber features integrated functional and structural stability. Its internal optical structure will not fail under normal washing and wearing. Finished fabrics maintain durable cooling and sun protection while retaining soft, breathable and skin-friendly properties, suitable for repeated long-term use.

 Technology Principle

 

1. Manufacturing follows the standard polyester staple route. Chips carrying the optical package are dried, melt-spun, drawn, crimped, and cut into this High Quality Functional Fiber. The additives disperse evenly through the melt at micro-nano scale, leaving spinning continuity and yarn strength intact.2. Cooling rests on two physical channels. First, solar reflection. Scatterers inside the fiber bounce the 0.3 to 2.5 micron band strongly, and at fabric level solar reflectance reaches above 90%, cutting heat gain under direct sun. Second, radiative discharge. Human skin radiates mainly between 8 and 13 microns, the atmospheric window where infrared passes through air with little absorption and escapes toward outer space at about minus 270 C. Infrared-emitting components lift the fabric emissivity in that window above 0.90, so fabric from this Cooling Polyester Fiber works like a passive radiator facing the cold sky. In simulated-skin wear tests, skin under the fabric runs about 3 to 5 C cooler than under plain cotton.3. The same reflectivity blocks ultraviolet. Fabrics of this High Quality Functional Fiber post a UPF above 2000, so cooling and sun protection arrive in one step, with no extra UV finishing needed.

Core Advantages

Zero-Energy Cooling

Sunlight is reflected and heat radiates skyward, with no power, no refrigerant, and nothing to consume.

Measured Differential

Skin under the fabric runs about 3 to 5 C cooler than under plain cotton, a difference wearers can feel.

Cooling Plus Protection

UPF above 2000 pairs sun blocking with heat discharge.

Wearable Comfort

The fabric stays soft, breathable, and washable, with optical retention above 90% after 30 washes.

Applications

1) Outdoor sportswear. Running, cycling, and hiking gear that keeps dumping heat under strong sun.
2) Sun-protection apparel. UPF above 2000 and radiative cooling arrive in one fabric.
3) Workwear. Uniforms for outdoor crews, logistics, and construction sites cut heat-stress risk on hot days.
4) Summer apparel. T-shirts, shirts, and dresses in light everyday constructions.
5) Outdoor equipment. Tent, awning, and car-cover fabrics that cool objects passively.
