Wadding and Silk padding in 100% natural silk
T.Silk the natural silk padding wadding is the thermoregulating thermal padding that, by exploiting the exceptional characteristics of silk and its fibrous protein, The fibroin, is capable of guaranteeing an optimal level of heat, combining it with high breathability, in any climatic condition of external temperature and physiological heat production by the body.
These innovative features, certified by the “ Skin Model ” laboratory test, to determine the level of thermo-physiological comfort that a fabric or padding is able to guarantee inside a padded product, demonstrate the unrivalled level of excellence of T.Silk natural silk padding wadding
A very high level of comfort not comparable or approachable to any other synthetic or hybrid padding.
Silk padding: the natural choice for comfort and performance
Pure natural silk padding wadding is the ideal choice for clothing, fashion items, outwear, technical clothing, accessories and bed linen.
Perfect for the T.SILK COLLECTION line, exclusively duvets, silk quilt, silk comforter, toppers and padded cushions as well as for the entire range of bed linen which exclusively use the natural T.Silk padding wadding, guaranteeing high comfort, naturalness and superior performance
Why Natural Silk Fibroin Padding wadding is the Best Thermal Padding
The silk used in the natural silk padding wadding T.Silk is a real natural laboratory capable of regulating and balancing the temperature differences between the outside and the inside through a system as ingenious as it is simple.
Composition of silk and the role of Fibroin
Each single filament of silk in nature is composed of:
- 70/80% natural protein - Fibroin
- 20/28% natural protein - Sericin
- 2.5/3.0% waxy and organic fatty substances
The percentages of fibroin and sericin can vary based on the breed of silkworm that produces them and its feeding characteristics. Once processed, silk for textile use has a percentage of fibroin close to 93/95. The Patent of natural silk padding wadding T.Silk has a percentage of Fibroin close to 98/99%.
Fibroin: the functional heart of the natural silk padding wadding
Fibroin is a fibrous protein with revolutionary technical properties:
- A natural fibrous protein like keratin, collagen, elastin and fibrinogen (fundamental building blocks of our epidermis and our body),
- Biocompatible and biodegradable biopolymer with excellent mechanical properties,
- It promotes cell growth and the metabolism of epithelial cells,
- Resistant to microbial contamination,
- Highly stable,
- Protective of the human epidermis,
- Promotes collagen synthesis and the activity of the skin's immune system,
- Permeable to water vapor and oxygen,
- Highly breathable and thermoregulating.
Natural silk padding wadding: engineered heat and humidity control
Fibroin is an engineered laboratory for thermoregulation
Fibroin has a fairly diverse molecular structure:
- Long polypeptide chains oriented parallel to the fiber axis
- A linear structure that does not wrap itself into a helix like many natural proteins but arranges itself in a zigzag pattern like a pleated sheet.
This innovative structure defined as Beta Sheet (sheets arranged in a wallet) allows to achieve a series of excellent pluses:
- Extreme resistance combined with flexibility
- It reduces the diffusion of heat, making it more homogeneous and dissipatable, if in excess,
- Creates free amorphous zones to collect air in case of greater insulation demand
- Creates free amorphous zones to collect water vapor in case of excessive production by the body
While the air remains trapped contributing to a high insulating effect of heat retention , the water vapour, if present, is captured and quickly transferred inside the body of the fibre and subsequently, just as quickly, to the outside, dissipating it in the surface layers towards the atmosphere.
The B sheet structure allows for the natural exchange of air and vapour, resulting in a high level of breathability.
The behavior in humid environments is to absorb enormous quantities of humidity (> 30% of its weight), releasing the excess to the outside through a sophisticated process that combines capillarity with thermoregulation.
T.Silk the Natural silk padding wadding, the definitive natural thermal padding
This unique engineering process of humidity, heat and air control creates an ideal and comfortable microenvironment, excess moisture is captured and does not settle on the skin or accumulate in the wadding padding.
The result that is evident on our body when using a product (a jacket, a coat, a technical jacket, a bed duvet, a bed mattress cover) containing the natural thermoregulating padding in T.Silk Silk, (Image on the right), and a padding in synthetic fibre, or in mixtures with natural fibres, or in medium-low quality feathers (image on the left)
The difference is noticeable from the first use
Comparative test between silk padding T.Silk and synthetic padding
With the 100% T.Silk silk padding, the water vapour produced is completely captured and expelled.
With synthetic padding, it is the padding itself that represents a contributory cause (sometimes the main cause) of the creation of heat and water vapour (sweat), which, not being dissipated, determines condensation and deposits, with negative effects on comfort but also on healthiness, becoming the cause of the development of odours and an environment particularly favourable to the proliferation of fungi, viruses and bacteria, as well as colonisable by mites and small insects which are often responsible for allergy phenomena.
From today, with the use of T.Silk natural padding wadding in 100% Silk, phenomena such as those caused by synthetic padding will be just a bad memory.
The best natural padding for clothing and bed linen
Heat balance, thermoregulation, adaptation to external and body temperatures, absence of humid areas, perfect breathability, perfect adaptation to the morphology of the body, softness and lightness are all the elements that define the excellent characteristics of a padded clothing, a technical jacket, an accessory or technical clothing
