Coolmax is a specially engineered polyester fiber known for its moisture-wicking properties. It was developed by DuPont in 1986 and is now produced by Invista. Coolmax fabric has a structure that creates capillary action to draw moisture away from the skin through the fiber core and out to the surface of the fabric, keeping the wearer cool and dry. It is commonly used in clothing for outdoor sports and activities. The manufacturing process spins and molds polyester into a shape that allows for quick evaporation of moisture.

Coolmax developed in 1986 by Dupont, is Invista's
speclly engineered polyester fiber brand. The
engineered fibers of Coolmax has better breathability
properties than natural fibers. Coolmax is known for
drawing the moisture away from the skin. The structure
of the fibers creates capillary action and wicks the
moisture through the core out to the surface of the
fabric. Coolmax keeps the wearer cool and dry under hot
weather conditions.

11. The physical structure of Coolmax fabric means moisture is
pulled into it, away from the body. That moisture is then
spread out thinly across the fabric to enable it to evaporate
faster. The quicker it is able to evaporate, the dryer you are.
This is what makes Coolmax such a popular fabric to use in
both clothing and in mattress covers.

efficiently, COOLMAX® EcoMade fiber and fabric is
made from recycled plastic bottles. This great INVISTA
innovation has been specially designed and engineered to
reduce the impact on the environment.
In addition to the classic COOLMAX® fabric
performance for absorbency, wicking, durability and
abrasion resistance, COOLMAX® EcoMade fiber and
fabric demonstrates superior results when tested for
whiteness.
