What Is Ice Silk?

In summer, ice silk fabric has become popular in the market. We often found that the wash label wrote ice silk in the clothing, but the composition of fabric is "viscose fiber" or "plant cellulose fiber", as well as some blended fiber names added, such as "polyester" or "spandex". Originally, ice silk was just a trade name for a chemical fiber, accurately speaking is a modified viscose fiber, because the woven fabric is relatively cool, named ice silk.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of ice silk?

Advantages: The moisture content of ice silk is most in line with the physiological requirements of human skin, with smooth and cool, breathable, anti-static, anti-ultraviolet, and colorful features, it also has a silk like drape and shape retention.

Disadvantages: Ice silk fabric is easy to get dirty and can’t be washed off for a long time. The strength is slightly worse after wet. The fabric will become hard after repeated washing, it is necessary to add softener. Acid and alkaline resistance of the fabric is worse than cotton, it should be gently washed with neutral softener.

In order to overcome these shortcomings, the current popular ice silk fabric in the market is modified polyester fabric, nylon fabric or spandex. More advanced fabrics will also add some finishing additives on this basis, increase its strength, elasticity and quick drying, make up for its easy to wrinkle and shrinkage rate of large shortcomings, loved by consumers.
