How HDPE Yarn Works
PECooX® Biodegradable cooling yarn is made by modifying polyethylene to enable microbial degradation. Under composting conditions, microorganisms decompose the yarn into CO2 and H2O. It maintains cooling properties, high heat transfer, and is eco-friendly.
Featured
High Thermal Conductivity
The HDPE cooling yarn’s structure efficiently transfers heat away from the body, providing a cooling effect that helps maintain a comfortable temperature.
Soft and Smooth
Made from polyethylene, the yarn has a smooth, silk-like texture, ensuring a comfortable feel against the skin.
100% Biodegradable
Decomposes into CO2 and H2O under composting conditions.
Biodegradable Test Report
Considering the cumulative gas production as observed in Table 2 & 3 and its analysis indicates that the process of biodegradation has occurred in BIODEGRADABLE FIBRE Sample. After 45 days of incubation, the level of biodegradation for the Positive control (Reference material) was 91.53 % while the BIODEGRADABLE FIBRE Sample showed 7.72%.
FAQ
PECooX® cooling yarn is a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) based textile fiber with superior thermal conductivity. PECooX® transfers body heat 30% more efficiently than conventional yarns, creating an instant cooling sensation against skin. Unlike chemical cooling treatments, PECooX® cooling mechanism is physical and permanent, maintaining over 95% effectiveness after 50 wash cycles. This 100% biodegradable yarn combines performance with sustainability, offering continuous temperature regulation for sportswear, underwear, and bedding applications without harmful chemicals or environmental concerns.
PECooX® biodegradable yarn contains specially engineered additives in its modified polyethylene structure that enable microbial breakdown. Under industrial composting conditions, PECooX® reaches 30% biodegradation within 180 days, eventually decomposing completely into carbon dioxide and water without microplastic residue. In natural environments, complete degradation takes 2-5 years depending on conditions. This biodegradability activates only in disposal environments, ensuring normal product lifespan during use while addressing end-of-life environmental concerns of synthetic textiles.
PECooX® HDPE yarn outperforms other cooling textiles through its unique combination of performance and sustainability. Unlike chemical cooling treatments that wash out, PECooX® provides permanent cooling through material physics. Compared to natural cooling fibers like linen, PECooX® delivers consistent performance with superior durability. Its 100% biodegradable composition eliminates microplastic pollution concerns of traditional synthetics. PECooX® excels in high-performance sportswear, intimate apparel, premium bedding, medical textiles, and sustainable fashion, offering brands an environmentally responsible solution without compromising on cooling functionality.
PECooX® Cooling Yarn Applications
PECooX® cooling yarn is widely used in various applications due to its cooling and durable properties. In sportswear, it enhances cooling and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for athletic activities. It is also used in seamless underwear and socks, providing comfort and temperature regulation. The yarn is suitable for knitting and weaving fabrics, creating breathable and cooling textiles. In home textiles, it is used in bedding and cushions to maintain a cool environment. Additionally, it finds applications in industrial textiles, such as cable wrappers, and in outdoor textiles for UV protection.
