PCM Nylon Yarn
Microencapsulated Phase Change Yarn | Smart Body Temperature Control
What Is PCM Nylon Yarn？
Thermo-regulation nylon yarn with microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCM) is an innovative smart textile solution designed to automatically manage body temperature. PCMs are special substances that absorb, store, and release heat as they change between solid and liquid states. By embedding these materials directly into the yarn using microencapsulation technology, the fabric becomes capable of responding dynamically to body heat — keeping the wearer cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold. This technology makes it ideal for next-to-skin applications like underwear, sportswear, and kidswear.
How does thermo-regulation fabric work?
PCM Nylon Yarn uses microencapsulation technology to enclose PCM in each filament.
🔥 You’re hot? When the body heats up (e.g., during physical activity or hot weather), the PCM absorbs excess heat, changing from solid to liquid—cooling effect.
❄️ You’re cold? When the environment cools down, the PCM releases stored heat, changing from liquid back to solid—warming effect.
This phase transition maintains a stable temperature — day or night, indoor or outdoor.

FAQ
Q1: What makes PCM nylon different from regular nylon yarn?
PCM nylon can store and release heat based on your body temperature, offering dynamic comfort which ordinary nylon cannot provide.
Q2: Is it safe for babywear?
Yes. The PCM is safely microencapsulated, making it suitable for next-to-skin applications, including baby and kidswear.
Q3: Will the PCM function wear out after washing?
No. The microencapsulation ensures that the PCM remains effective even after multiple washes.
