You can see how Silic plays dirt by looking at the following movie.


In case of spilling liquid on shirt, if it is a normal shirt, dirt penetrates and adheres as shown on the left picture, whereas Silic on the right side shows high water repellency and plays moisture I will.


"Silic" is a product that achieves high water repellency in a different way from commercially available anti-soiling spray.


"A dirty spray is not good," says Aamir Patel, a developer.


When saying "Why is not it good?", Many soil waterproof sprays contain carcinogenic substances and substances that possibly cause fetal birth defects.


The secret that Silic plays dirty is in a place where innumerable coatings of extremely small silica grains are made on the fabric and fine irregularities are produced on the surface of the fabric.


Due to fine irregularities, the angle at which molecules of water come into contact with the fabric isSuper water repellentIt will be more than 150 degrees to release sex. For that reason, moisture can not penetrate into the fiber and it will float on the surface.


Because we use such highly hydrophobic fabric, moisture and dirt will be blown off.


The material uses polyester, it is soft touch. Durability was also taken into consideration and it was said that the water repellent performance did not decrease even after 80 washing tests.


It does not absorb perspiration from the body, so it evaporates quickly, so dirt and odor do not mind too.


Two colors of white and black can be selected for the color of the fabric, and five sizes of S / M / L / XL / 2 XL are prepared. For American style size notation, please refer to the length (Body Length) of the shirt described in the table. Since it is written in inches, you can convert it to centimeters by multiplying the number by 2.54.


As a precaution to keep in mind, softener / bleaching agent can not be used, natural drying is required without using a dryer, ironing and dry cleaning are also not possible. Also, in order to maintain water repellency, it is important to dry at low temperature with a rotary dryer once every time it is washed three times.
