5 advantages of silk fabrics

comfortability

Silk is composed of protein fibers, has excellent biocompatibility with the human body, coupled with smooth surface, its friction stimulation coefficient on the human body is the lowest among all types of fibers, only 7.4%. Therefore, when our delicate skin meets with the smooth and delicate silk, it cares for every inch of our skin with its unique supple texture and following the curve of the human body.

Hygroscopicity

Silk protein fiber is enriched with many hydrophilic groups such as amine groups (-CHNH), amino groups (-NH2), and because of its porosity, it is easy for water molecules to diffuse, so it can absorb moisture in the air or emit moisture, and Keep a certain amount of moisture. At normal temperatures, it can help the skin retain a certain amount of moisture without making the skin too dry; when used in summer, it can quickly radiate sweat and heat from the body, making people feel cool. Because of this performance, silk fabrics are more suitable for direct contact with human skin.

Warmth

Silk not only has good heat dissipation performance, but also has good thermal insulation. Its thermal insulation is due to its porous fiber structure. There are many very fine fibers in a silk fiber, and these fine fibers are composed of finer fibers. Therefore, more than 38% of the seemingly solid silk is actually hollow, and there is a lot of air in these gaps. These air prevent the heat from being radiated and have good thermal insulation.

anti-UV

The tryptophan and tyrosine in the silk protein can absorb ultraviolet rays, so the silk has better anti-ultraviolet function. And ultraviolet rays are very harmful to human skin. Of course, the silk itself will undergo chemical changes after absorbing ultraviolet rays, so that the silk fabric will easily yellow under the sunlight. Therefore, the use of silk fibers to absorb ultraviolet light can achieve the purpose of UV protection.

Health effects

The use of silk bedding can not only prevent ultraviolet radiation, prevent harmful gas intrusion, and resist harmful bacteria, but also enhance the vitality of skin cells on the body surface and promote the metabolism of skin cells. At the same time, it has good auxiliary treatment for certain skin diseases. . In addition, due to its special hygroscopicity and breathability, it also regulates body temperature and moisture. According to the needs of various parts of the human body, medical workers made various fabrics from silk, and selected 30 patients with itchy skin for treatment. The results showed that the pure use of silk fabrics can receive better results without the need to use topical drugs. .
