About SPACECOOL Fabric Type 2
This is a fabric material using "SPACECOOL," a radiative cooling material that releases heat to space for zero-energy cooling. Test results from the Japan Textile Inspection Association for heat shielding (JIS L 1951) and UV shielding (JIS L 1925) show a heat shielding rate of 76-80%, evaluated as the highest level of performance. It also records a light-shielding rate of 99.99% or higher and a UV-shielding rate of 99.9-100%. Furthermore, it has a water resistance of 1990mm or higher and a surface water repellency rating of grade 4, making it usable as a parasol for both sunny and rainy days when used in a parasol. Additionally, it is developed without using PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to consider health impacts, ensuring safe and secure use.
Test results from the Japan Textile Inspection Association for silver fabric (excerpt)
When the effectiveness of "SPACECOOL Parasol Type 2," made with SPACECOOL Fabric Type 2, was measured in an actual outdoor environment, the surface temperature of the fabric and the head temperature of the user were the lowest compared to other companies' parasols. The head temperature was approximately 6°C lower than when not using a parasol. Actual perceived temperature may vary depending on external temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.
