Cocona Technology

Cocona Fabric is made with Natural Technology

Cocona fabrics are quick-drying, odor- and UV-managing technical fabrics made from recycled coconut shells, a natural and renewable resource.

Combining multiple features and benefits into an environmentally friendly technology.

Cocona fabrics offer superior comfort and enhanced performance in a variety of clothing applications.

Cocona fabrics provide protection from harmful UV rays, successfully manage odors, static, and moisture. Independent laboratory tests measuring the amount of time a wet fabric takes to dry at room temperature, fabrics made with Cocona dried significantly faster than other leading moisture-wicking fabrics including polyester (50% faster), cotton (92% faster), and bamboo (96% faster). Fabrics made with Cocona yarns and fibers are inherently lightweight, comfortable, and easy-care.

Cocona fabrics are made utilizing a natural technology that incorporates activated carbon made from coconut shells.

This activated carbon is infused into polyester fiber which is then blended with other fibers to create performance fabrics. Activated carbon has been used for centuries to purify drinking water and to absorb toxins.

When incorporated into yarns and fibers, it creates a fabric that provides highly effective evaporative cooling, odor control, and superior UV protection, up to 50+UPF (the highest possible rating). Because Cocona technology is inside the fiber, it cannot wash off or wear out like ordinary surface treatments to fabrics.

The distinctive benefits of Cocona fabric include:

• Evaporative Cooling - Cocona fabrics dry faster providing increased comfort while reducing the amount of time and energy required to dry garments after washing.
• Easy Care - Cocona resists wrinkles. The fabric traps odors to keep the clothing fresher longer, and reducing the need for daily washing.
• Durable - Cocona performance is permanently embedded in the yarn and will not wash out. Cocona clothing lasts longer than items made from other organic fabrics such as pure cotton or bamboo.
• Comfort - Clothes made using Cocona yarn are available in all weights for items that feel softer, stay fresher, and wear more comfortably than other fabrics.
